D Day for Brexit

[1959_60]

But Sinkov, everyone has a different idea on the type of Brexit they want. You want a clean break, others want trade deals, others don't want Brexit. There is no consensus either with the public or in Parliament.

Yes, we could have had a clean break but the majority of the public and MP's simply don't want one.

Hence the bun fighting.

I want a clean break ? I voted to leave the EU, I've already stated what I, and imo the vast majority of leave voters, think that entails. Most of those points were covered in May's early speeches, setting out what she intended to achieve in the 'negotiations'. Since then she has backtracked and her latest offering is not Brexit, but there's nothing I can do about it.

Others want trade deals ? I would think everyone wants trade deals, but for us to have trade deals we cannot remain in the customs union and single market. Nevertheless, although obviously related, trade deals and leaving the EU are not the same thing. We can leave the EU without negotiating a trade deal with them, although it would be better for both parties if we could.

Others don't want Brexit ? No they don't, and they got the the chance to express that viewpoint in the referendum, unfortunately for them the majority decision was to leave the EU. So if democracy means anything, and our politicians have any principles, they would all be uniting to get us out of the EU. But as I've pointed out before, they have no principles at all, self-interest comes before democracy and we have unedifying spectacle of these toe-rags uniting in an attempt to keep us in the EU.
