There are very few breaks on a British pm, if he has a majority in the house. The thing is he has no majority for no deal brexit in the house, and has prorogue parliament to get his way against the wishes not just of parliament but according to polling 75% of the population. Remember the referendum asked a general question do you want to leave the EU, not how do you leave the EU. The how was left to parliament.That's your system ... apparently democratic in some fashion.
Ours is democratic in some fashion as well. Ours is technically a republic, some say that's to slow down the tendency toward 'mob rule' exhibited by pure democracies. It seems that the system in the UK must have similar safeguards, judging from the brakes having been applied to Brexit. Despite those brakes though, the push to Brexit has continued unabated.
Looking at things from this side of the pond, it appears that the UK will soon sever its bonds with the EU. Good on ya'.
Oh and yes I'm sure the USA is rubbing its hands in glee at the possibility of asset stripping the uk, since the idea that the UK will be able to negotiate a favourable trade treaty is just nonsense.
