You lost me at Brexit… It is the political (and economic) event that just will not go away fast.  So last week was no exception as 2 major votes dominated the press.

First, the British parliament once again voted (for the second time) on Theresa May’s Brexit deal.  The vote failed once again; the only silver lining being that it failed by less votes.

The second vote was to determine if a “No Deal” Brexit would be permitted.  The risk with a “No Deal” Brexit would be a disorderly exit with many business disruptions (known and still unknown).  Luckily, that vote was decidedly positive.  A “No Deal” Brexit would not be permitted.

This sets us up for 3 possible outcomes:

• Theresa May will likely try a third time to have her deal voted upon.
• The UK could request a delay to the March 29 deadline from the EU.
• A new referendum is posed to the public to reverse the original decision to exit the EU.

No matter how you look at it, uncertainty continues to be the Brexit way.  One way or another, we will get some level of certainty 2 weeks from now when March 29^th comes and goes.
