I think that we’ve had Brexit — it’s unlikely to happen. MPs who agreed to honour the results of the referendum are realising that for the first time in a very long time, they’ll actually have to do something, rather than have the EU do it for them, and it scares them. MPs have always been a duplicitous lot, but recent events show that they cannot be trusted at all. I have no idea who’d vote for in any forthcoming election. The Conservatives have made a complete hash of things, the LibDems want to revoke Article 50, any Labour government will ruin the country and the Brexit party is a one-trick pony.
What I don’t get was why, once the vote was in, the Conservatives didn’t take a multi party approach to getting things sorted. Teresa May’s deal would have the UK become a vassal state of the EU. Looking at things overall, I’m not too fussed about NI per se. What I think aren’t up for grabs are the surrender of our fishing rights, management of immigration (both from within and without the EU) and letting the ECJ have any sway in our legal process.
Boris Johnson is an utter clown, and has no chance of getting anything done. Parliament has seen to that. The EU don’t want to negotiate. Why would they? They have us exactly where they want us.
What remainers don’t realise is that if they get their way, and by some means we end-up staying part of the EU, we as a country will be punished for having tried to leave the bloc.
The Mother of All Parliaments is a farce, just like the UK is. I’d emigrate, if I could, but I’m too old now. Oh what it is to be British in 2019 ...
