LONDON — It’s been three years, three prime ministers, and one unlawful suspension of Parliament since the UK voted to leave the European Union, and yet little has changed on the Brexit front.It’s as unpredictable and chaotic as ever.Despite a historic Supreme Court ruling that found the government's recent suspension of Parliament unlawful, Prime Minister Boris Johnson continues to press forward with his plan to crash out of Europe on October 31.But with Parliament back in action, and heavily scrutinizing Johnson’s plan, it’s far from clear that a divided Commons will be capable of forming majority support around a solution anytime soon.With Brexit all but guaranteed to grind on indefinitely, we turned our attention to the demographic poised to be most affected by Brexit: young Brits.They're hardly optimistic."I can't really remember a time before the news was absolutely inundated with the Brexit stuff," said Charlie, 22, who (like most people his age) backed Remain in 2016.A sense of nihilism about Brexit was also a common thread. “I don't really engage with it as much because I find it too bleak,” said 26-year-old Ella Gordon.Cover: Delegates arrive in heavy rain at the Conservative Party Conference in Manchester, England, Tuesday, Oct. 1, 2019.
