These two developments are significant in their own right

Dec 14, 2019 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,

Two recent developments have taken the spotlight in the international media. The first is the Conservative Party’s victory in Britain and the second, the likely impeachment of United States President Donald Trump following a majority vote in the House Judiciary Committee.
Both of these developments are significant in their own right. The victory of Boris Johnson now paves the way for a speedier Brexit which had been the defining issue in the elections.
Boris Johnson took a political gamble in holding elections before the constitutionally due date, hoping to capitalize on a growing wave of nationalism in Britain and the entire western Europe. The gamble has paid good political dividends for Boris Johnson and his Conservative Party, which now has a full mandate to fast track a Brexit deal.
The Labour Party will now have to go back, as it were, to the drawing board, and come up with new and innovative strategies to regain lost political ground.
As for President Trump, he will go down in history as the third president of the United States to be impeached, even though it is more than likely that the impeachment will be reversed by the Senate where Republicans have a majority.
The impeachment proceedings highlighted the fractured nature of politics in the United States. It is interesting to see how the impeachment dynamics will impact on the outcome of the US presidential elections due in November 2020.
My own prediction is that even if he survives the impeachment charges the damage inflicted on his credibility and image could greatly affect his chances for re-election.
