These elections in the United Kingdom will go down in history as those of the tiredness . This feeling is what has operated to give Boris Johnson one of the most overwhelming parliamentary majorities of recent decades. The same fatigue that has taken over the Europeans as a whole before a Brexit turned into a labyrinth without exit has been translated by British citizens into an apolitical vote - not impregnated with partisan ideology - to the only leader who was perceived today as able to end the nightmare.

The traditional right-left axis has been replaced by the European-anti-European cleavage cleavage . And this explains the sinking of the Corbyn Labor, installed in a limbo of indefinition about the relationship between London and Brussels for which he has been punished mercilessly. But it also explains the massive vote to the nationalists in Scotland and Northern Ireland , the two territories of a Kingdom today so worryingly disjointed that they want first of all to maintain the umbilical cord with the European Union, unlike an England increasingly locked in itself in full nationalist revival that extends throughout the world as a scary reaction to globalization.

The EU is today the scapegoat to blame for all the evils in an England that still dreams of the empire it was. And that anti-European sentiment , which observes the Union as a stepmother who only imposes norms, is unable to protect the borders and tries to homogenize everything in the cultural field, is too entrenched among much of the British people. So much so that the reasoning is fallacious, that any serious economic report insists that a United Kingdom outside the EU will make us all poorer and less competitive, that in a multilateral society such as that of the 21st century London loses influence, capacity for intervention global and effective in matters as serious as the fight against terrorism outside the community club. Those are rational arguments that they could do little in such emotional choices as these, or as was the Brexit referendum in 2016 .

Assuming the evidence, for the Twenty-seven it has been an inevitable relief the overwhelming victory of Boris Johnson, because it is going to unblock the British divorce. The conservative is determined to meet the deadline of January 31 for the British Parliament and the European Parliament to ratify the last exit agreement that was sealed in October. There are no obstacles. The Bags also welcomed a result of relief that at least brings us back to the path of certainty. Now, we advance in the locker but Brexit remains extraordinarily complex. The transition phase will begin in February, which will surely extend beyond December 31, 2020, in which the real battle will have to take place to agree on the future relationship between the EU and the United Kingdom , with an eye on Everything in the commercial. And negotiation does not seem easy. Especially since Johnson is a purely populist leader as unpredictable as fickle.

Especially disturbing is the territorial fracture left by the elections in the United Kingdom. So overwhelming is the result of the nationalists in Scotland that their chief minister, Nicola Sturgeon , feels very reinforced to start a new independence referendum in London. The campaign for the unification of the two Irlandas will also get worse. The British face a very serious territorial problem that will end up affecting us all because it drives the delusions of independence in other places.

And it all began, do not forget, like a great flight forward of Prime Minister Cameron to fight populism and the discourse of the extreme right that have ended up taking over the victorious Conservative Party today. What a paradox. What a big mistake . And what irresponsibility that future generations will pay, from British and the rest of Europe.
