English Idiom: Leave (somebody) in the lurch
The Brexit vote is over.
The Bremain side lost, and the Brexit team were the victors.
Now what?
This is how it feels to be left in the lurch.
I’m a bit of a politics junky, so I somewhat enjoy being left in the lurch, but it appears that members of the young generation in Great Britain do not like it at all.
They are not happy.
You see, to be left in the lurch means to be left waiting for something to happen, anticipating that something will happen, but you don’t know what that is.
Nobody knows what will happen after Brexit.
