Too early to tell.
Any Government can mess up.We have exactly the same problems as every other country in the world.
There is a lengthy article in today’s Guardian about how each nation is suffering.
New Zealand, Australia, USA, and every European country.
Brexit?
Wouldn’t think so.
Time will tell, but as I said at the time, it won’t be half as good as leave predicted or half as bad as remain fear.
Just a bit different.

(Or be blown off course by externalities.)
The point is whether voters - or their MPs - have the ability to influence policies.
Covid - and later Russia's invasion - underscored that "sovereign" Governments can encounter problems.
Even the "mighty" EU has found it hard to respond to the impacts of Covid (supply chains, govt. debt)...
....and Russia (oil, gas, wheat).
Covid: The UK found itself free to move ahead with vaccines.
So one Credit to the UK Govt.
And like many countries, the UK pursued Lockdown - and paid many people to stay at home.
So for the loss of freedom .....and a huge £ billion bill to be paid for
Debits to the UK Govt. (and others to varying degrees)
Ukraine: The UK's response has been a reminder that, even outside the EU, the UK can respond positively (some would argue "lead").
EU fans should accept that the UK is working with EU member states.
Not "pulling up the drawbridge". Not "insular, little England".
As Shotshy implied, measuring success in a way that suits EU fans may turn out to be difficult.
But to Leavers the freedom - which was the main point - is already evident.
And I thought "f*ck it, I'll be dead by then" was the leavers mantraWell it's been a 'bit' of a disaster so far.
I'm sure some govt. funded think tank will come up with the proposed number of decades we have to wait until we are allowed to say that officially. Rees Mogg's 50 years may turn out to be correct but I'll be long gone by then.
its all ok as we now under control of the good USA lol.
The USA, like most of the developed world, do not feel the need for a political "union" with any other country, or to constrict themselves with a never ending, and always growing, set of laws, rules and directives often set by a majority of other nations and overseen by a shady court of "justice".

The "shady" court of justice (nothing to do with the EU) that Johnson's maternal grandfather used to lead, if you mean the ECHR. If the ECJ, what is "shady" about it?The USA, like most of the developed world, do not feel the need for a political "union" with any other country, or to constrict themselves with a never ending, and always growing, set of laws, rules and directives often set by a majority of other nations and overseen by a shady court of "justice".
