Christmas shopping is usually on the rise in the UK in December. Not only is there no place to sit inside super stores these days, but despite the cold outside, British citizens are waiting for their turn in the long queues with the big patience of children wrapped in warm apparel. And when they come out of these stores with shopping bags, their faces shine. However, this time when Christmas is over, British citizens will be lined up outside polling stations to cast their votes.

There will be polls on December 12 in the UK and this will be the fourth election in more than 4 years. It should be noted that the issue of Brexit, Britain’s separation from the European Union, has taken a toll. Both major UK political parties, the Conservative Party and the Labor Party, are now enthusiastically preparing for the general election. And the British Election Commission has issued a polling schedule for community halls, schools and their offices.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is participating in the election with the hope that he will win the overwhelming majority and end Brexit, while his rival and Labor Party leader, Jeremy Corbyn, is contesting the Brexit referendum agenda. Experts on British politics believe that Brexit has emerged as the biggest challenge in the last 75 years. Brexit’s deadline was set for October 31, after Boris Johnson took office. During this time he also signed a treaty with the European Union, which specifically included the issue of backstops, which deals with customs matters in Ireland and the EU after Brexit. However, when Boris Johnson presented the deal to the British Parliament in late October, his expectations were rejected by the MPs. Those opposed to the agreement included members of the Labor Party, as well as members of the party who lost their power. It would be absurd to say that he stabbed the back of his leader, Boris Johnson. Then the British Prime Minister was forced to submit a premature election resolution, which was overwhelmingly approved.

The total population of the UK is 6.5 million, of which 4.5 million are voters. In the December 12 elections, these voters will select 650 members of parliament for the next five years. The manifesto of the two major parties participating in the elections is not only completely different from Brexit, but in terms of economy and foreign policy, the latter is found in both. Experts call the election a historic election, as it may result in radical changes to UK national policy.

The Labor Party leader, Jeremy Corbyn, has promised not only the Brexit referendum again after coming to power, they have also hinted at a referendum in the past. Because of this, experts point out that the referendum had 51.7 percent of the vote in favor of Britain’s exclusion from the European Union, while 49.2 percent of voters favored staying in the EU. In addition, major cities like London, Birmingham and Manchester did not support secession, and Scotland and Ireland also disagreed with Brexit. However, smaller cities and towns in Britain voted in favor of Britain’s separation from the European Union, because 3 million immigrants from different European countries affected their standard of living.

While the Labor Party, which has traditionally sought to ease the influx of European immigrants, has a tendency toward a socialist economy, while Boris Johnson’s Conservatives or the Tory Party declare the free capitalist economy as its own, it has eliminated the global economic crisis by its tight financial measures, although the British people initially felt the pressure, the then Prime Minister, David Cameron, succeeded in transmitting his wealth from good governance to the masses and a huge majority in the next elections.

Political experts agree that when a country has stagnation in parliament, as it does in the British Parliament, and then pre-election is the best way. The British people decided to split the EU from the referendum four years ago and they will now decide on their next course of action. Experts believe that no political party can win a clear majority in these elections, because not only Brexit, but also economic issues, British public opinion is much divided. The British are also in favor of public welfare and strongly support financial measures. Although the former British Prime Minister, Thursey and his successor, Boris Johnson, did not receive clear support on Brexit’s case, but the position of his rival leader, Jeremy Corbyn, is not too strong, if they re-run the Brexit referendum after coming to power, the demand for Scotland’s separation could once again intensify.

Although in the past the referendum, Scottish residents have expressed solidarity with the United Kingdom by defeating the nationalists, but this time their views may change. Again, due to repeated elections and referendums, the divide in British society can be deepened and nationalists can dominate. However, the December 12 elections are currently the focus of the hopes of the democrat and the British public. Although there has been a severe political crisis in the UK for the past 4 years, the grip of British Parliament, public representatives and political parties on all political issues is strong and can only be interpreted as their political agenda. However, not all countries in the world are so fortunate.

For example, Lebanon, which is an important Middle East country, is in the throes of a political crisis as a result of the worst turmoil over the past several weeks. After the protests intensified, Saad al-Hariri resigned from the ministry, and his opponents celebrated. Lebanon’s economy is currently in decline. Minghai is talking to the sky, unemployment is on the rise, and the rulers are accused of corruption. Earlier, Saad Al-Hurri presented a package to the public October 21, but was rejected. After this incident, he confessed to being in a closed street and was discharged from power at the same time.

It is also worth mentioning here that the population of Lebanon is 5 million. After the bloody civil war of 1990, its constitution was drafted into a tripartite agreement. According to the agreement, the country’s president will be Christian, Prime Minister Sunni Muslim and speaker of the National Assembly Shia Muslim. Saad al-Hariri’s government failed and failed to provide basic facilities to the people. According to reports, an estimated 1 million people took to the streets against the Hari government. Experts believe that the real problem for Lebanon is the non-compliance with the spirit of the Omani treaty. Although this agreement is obviously being implemented, it depends on the balance of sectarian power, which is trivialized in the slightest. In Lebanon, jobs are paid on the basis of merits and quotas, resulting in the worst administration.

Of importance to Lebanese militias, such as Hezbollah, this emerged as the most powerful party after the civil war and which has the full backing of Iran. Hezbollah made a place for itself in the heart of the Arabs by chanting slogans against Israel, calling it a revolutionary movement. Its head, Hassan Nasrullah, is an influential figure. However, Hezbollah was subjected to widespread criticism in the Middle East and the world over the Syrian opposition crushing with Bashar al-Assad’s forces in Syria.

It should be noted that such militias are very popular in the struggle movement, but due to lack of managerial capabilities, the management of the country fails utterly that only organized political parties can do so. Even a prosperous country like Iran, rich in oil, had to go through this difficult phase after the revolution. At the moment, economic development and public welfare in Lebanon are unimaginable. The government is simply devoting all its energy to accommodating different factions, while economic experts are repeatedly warning that urgent measures are necessary to prevent the country from going bankrupt.

Unfortunately in Lebanon, as in other Islamic countries, governments, political parties and organizations try to cure their disqualification and bad governance by external conspiracies, but the rulers do not hesitate to visit Western countries for financial support. However, the current political and economic crisis in Lebanon will result in a temporary solution to the supply of loans from Western countries, but for lasting solutions and political stability, the implementation of merit, good governance and economic development in the country must be included in the priorities. However, what is encouraging is that in Lebanon, the protests did not take place on communal grounds, but people from all classes continued to demand solutions to their economic problems, including Sunni and Shia Muslims and Christians.

But since the Lebanese protesters, like the Arab Spring, were missing from the central leadership, Maqburah Saad al-Hariri was appointed interim prime minister. Experts believe that Lebanon’s future depends on more people than political parties on what direction they want to take their country. It should be noted that at one time Lebanon, located on the beaches of the Mediterranean, was considered to be the most developed and educated country in the Arab world.
