One has to wonder whether Boris Johnson is not already squandering the golden opportunity his recent large election victory gave him to put the UK on a sounder economic footing. One also has to wonder what he might have learnt from the UK's painful 3 ½ year negotiation of a Brexit Withdrawal Deal with its European partners.
After resoundingly winning last week's election, Mr. Johnson is now seeking parliamentary approval of legislation that would preclude the UK from asking for an extension of the December 2020 end-date for its transitional arrangement with the European Union.
