It has been quite a morning in our World as the United Kingdom has entered into a period of uncertainty in the aftermath of the elections. The return of two-party politics has become the norm in the UK as the Prime Minister has gone to the Queen to request the forming of a new Government with the Democratic Unionist Party of Northern Ireland. There is some talk that the UK may have to be faced with another General Election within a year==it is slated to quite messy. Across on the continent, though, is France as President Macron's new Party is set to command a majority in the French National Assembly which will transform France. President Macron has also decided to end the State of Emergency--but incorporate certain provisions in common law. We have also been continuing to assess the Gulf Crisis as countries continue to gang up on Qatar--as Qataris have heeded the call of the Emir of Qatar and the Government to stay patient.
We wanted to enter the weekend with this "snapshot" courtesy of the team at Global Citizen on a high note as we wish all a great weekend:
