Brexit Update
Oh the irony of it!
Cameron promised a referendum on the EU in 2016 to avoid a split in
the Conservative party and the referendum has become the cause of
that split. The circus clowns were going to have their day anyway and
now they are having it. Boris Johnson is right in one respect: May's
Brexit proposals please no one, neither those who voted Remain nor a
considerable proportion of those who voted Leave. It must be obvious
to a blind man that there is now no real desire on the part of the
British people for any realistic form of Brexit. The right-wing
fantasies, given sway by chicanery and probable electoral fraud, have
been exposed as such. So what poliician now can, with a straight
face, call the referendum result «the will of the people»?
It is very difficult
not to conclude that the will of the people now is, albeit perhaps
reluctantly, to stay in the EU. Politicians rightly say that they
should represent the will of the people but how many of them will
represnt that will now? How many of them will have the courage to
put the welfare of the country and its peoples' wishes before their
own political ambitions? We will see over the coming weeks.
