Voters face at least six months of uncertainty over Brexit after the general election produced a hung parliament.
Boris Johnson failed to win a Commons majority, meaning he cannot pass his Brexit deal and take Britain out of the EU on 31 October.
Parliament is now likely to be deadlocked for months, with uncertainty over when – or even if – the UK will leave the EU.
The Prime Minister could try to force through his Brexit deal in the Commons again, but he would need the support of other parties, which seems unlikely.
He could also call another election, but this would be a gamble, as there is no guarantee that the Conservatives would win more seats.
Alternatively, he could resign and allow another Conservative leader to try to form a government.
But this would be a risky strategy, as it could lead to a leadership contest and further division within the Conservative Party.
The most likely outcome is that the UK will remain in a state of limbo for months, with no clear way forward on Brexit.
This will be a frustrating and uncertain time for businesses and citizens, who will be left in the dark about the future.
It will also damage the UK’s reputation on the world stage, as it shows that the country is unable to resolve its political differences.
The election result has left the UK in a very difficult position, and it is unclear how the country will be able to move forward.
The next few months will be critical, and it is essential that politicians find a way to work together to resolve the Brexit impasse.
Otherwise, the UK could face a long and damaging period of uncertainty and instability..
