The Man Trying to Make Sense of Brexit Is Tired and Would Like to Stop Now
New York Times
LONDON By day, Jon Worth works as a communications consultant for European politicians. By rest-of-his-day he makes Brexit flowcharts 27 versions since January, to be exact.
Brexit has become a tangled, often confusing web of decisions and possible outcomes that change almost daily. It is both the perfect candidate for diagraming what happens next and a Sisyphean task of trying to outline every possibility.
Heres just a portion of his latest:
In the beginning people were like, What the hell is he doing? and then people were like, Wait, its actually a really useful way to understand Brexit, Mr. Worth said. And now people ask me, Wheres the next version of the diagram?
But hes exhausted. After more than two dozen updates to his flowchart, hell take a break on April 12th, the deadline for Britain to leave if Parliament does not approve Prime Minister Theresa May's deal regardless of what is happening with Brexit. He says he cant keep going at this pace.
