Britain to have difficult road ahead with Brexit: Analyst
British MPs have overwhelmingly voted in favor of a bill that allows Prime Minister Theresa May to start formal negotiations on Brexit.
Last year, nearly 52 percent of Britons voted to end their country's decades-long membership in the 28-nation bloc.
An independent economic researcher believes this is a difficult road ahead for Britain, adding that Brexit was a “coordinated scenario.”
“The rush to Brexit or this rush to have it happen as soon as possible is actually a signal of the European Union and the UK sense of continental and transatlantic fear and financial mayhem that is essentially eminent,” Pye Ian told Press TV in an interview on Thursday.
He also stated Brexit could be called “fake populism,” arguing that it is not about assisting the poor and the working classes in the UK whenever it passes.
The analyst further opined that Brexit is a “head fake” to buy time, asserting that the UK elite establishment itself is getting out of the way of an eminent collapsing banking scenario across Europe while giving the working classes in the UK a short-term feeling of empowerment.
He went on to say there is an unsustainable debt level within each EU member state.
He also predicted that a third bailout may be needed for Greece, given the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) recent warning on the country’s debt that it is threatening the whole Eurozone.
Ian also stated all of this “co-populism” or “transatlantic populism” is designed in order to distract the public from core causes and empower them in the short-term to buy time and tightly coordinate things on behalf of elites that clearly see the debt as unsustainable.
According to the analyst, “once things collapse, once there is consolidation of assets, once people are screaming for change and for mercy, then these same elites come in and say we have a solution and Brexit seems like the best thing since sliced bread.”
