.GlenPearson: When “Go It Alone” Leaves You Alone | National Newswatch
In a disruptive age where nations around the world are re-examining their alliances – military, economic, political – with one another, the never-boring but always risky shenanigans playing out in Britain serve as a reminder of just what is at stake when leaders aim for the ideological instead of the practical.
People could tell something was up this week when Secretary of State Michael Gove attended a secret Brexit summit with other notables bent on getting Britain’s economic prospects back in order by exploring rejoining the EU. Pro-Brexiters called it betrayal, while Prime Minister Sunak had no idea that one of his key cabinet players had attended.
And so, meetings, likely many of them, have been quietly taking place in Britain and across the Channel about how the country can reacquire membership and do so without losing face. The Conservatives have likely already lost the next general election, but their odds could improve if the best face could be placed upon re-engagement.
