Wait for a moment. How many times do we use this word a day? It’s a convenient expression. Wait for a moment.
In any case, it’s convenient, but it’s vague, so it’s not easy to use1
EU has yet to know what kind of withdrawal plan Prime Minister Johnson can prepare2
I see this turmoil in British politics as a result of chaos between the two types of democracy in Britain3
But time has not been revealed. Wait for a moment? How long is a moment? It may be a minute. It may be an hour. Both the person who said it and the person who was said understand it according to the custom.
If both sides are acquainted, there is no problem, but if both sides meet for the first time, the person told will be anxious. It is not clear how many minutes it is. At such times, the person who said it is more advantageous.
But let’s take the opposite view. After being told to wait for a while, the waiting person can decide arbitrarily when to remind the person who sent it. “Wait for a moment”. “I’ll wait”. Three seconds later, if the person who told you is urged, “You are slow, move your ass!” He cannot defend. Because he didn’t give concrete time.
So, when you are declared to wait for a while, either the sense of time that the person said has or the interpretation of the person who is waiting is the king.
In any case, it’s convenient, but it’s vague, so it’s not easy to use.

What Does The Moment Everyone Has Been Waiting For Mean?
Moment (time) - Wikipedia ↩︎The British Parliament has been suspended. This is a brief closing. Don’t worry, it’s only a month. Wait for a moment.
As you know, any proposal for a general election twice was rejected.
If Prime Minister Johnson does not agree to the Brexit talks with the EU by 19 October, Brexit will be postponed. The bill with this content has passed. At the EU summit meeting starting from October 17 (Brussels: October 17-18), the prime minister will aim for a Brexit agreement with the EU.
However, the EU has yet to know what kind of withdrawal plan Prime Minister Johnson can prepare. The UK-EU talks will be more chaotic than the British Parliament.

UK Parliament is suspended amid scenes of chaos - CNN
Chaotic scenes in the Commons as parliament is suspended … ↩︎I see this turmoil in British politics as a result of chaos between the two types of democracy in Britain.
One is democracy called “2016 United Kingdom European Union membership referendum”. The other is a democracy, the British Parliament.
In the 2016 referendum, no bill was proposed, there was no discussion, and the vote was preceded. The British Parliament proposes a bill, discusses it and votes.
These two types of voting systems have worked. Prime Minister Johnson will stick to the withdrawal based on the results of the 2016 referendum. However, the result of the 2016 referendum was the result of voting only, and the voters did not discuss practical details.
In contrast, the British Parliament discusses practical details. However, it inevitably involves bargaining between parties that reject each other.
Therefore, the probability that both the result of the 2016 referendum and the result of bargaining between parties in the British Parliament are the same is very low.

When I look at the state of the British Parliament, I get an impression that it is far from the general British sense because it is too particular about the form and tradition. Of course, that is the reason why the referendum was implemented. ↩︎
- If you are told to wait for a moment, ask for a specific time.
- If I did that before, I was told, “It’s a little while, order!” I couldn’t say anything. That’s all for today’s post. Thank you
