Brexit and its high price.

According to recent opinion polls, the Conservative Party of incumbent Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is at a disadvantage, and the Labour Party has a chance of winning. The lasting repercussions of Brexit are playing a decisive role in this political development in Britain.

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak

The main reason is that neither the Brexit process nor its impact on Britain's future after Brexit has lived up to the claims and promises made by Conservative prime ministers to the people. After four years, the price Britain has paid for Brexit has proven too high for the British people and the Conservative Party.

The current economic situation in the UK, four years after Brexit, is significantly worse than when the UK was a member of the EU. With Brexit, the UK is no longer part of the EU's Internal Market and Customs Union, and even after four years, it still lacks alternative economic and trade partners, as well as alternative markets to the EU market.

The British government's plans when it decided to take Britain out of the EU, and its intentions to sign bilateral economic and trade cooperation agreements with major world economies such as the US and Canada, have not yet materialized.

The Brexit process has set a record for having the most prime ministers in a short period of time, including David Cameron, Theresa May, Boris Johnson, Liz Truss, and now the current Prime Minister Rishi Sunak (all from the Conservative Party), who is also at risk. Brexit could even pave the way for the Labour Party to return to power and push the Conservative Party into opposition.
