If it's Leave, I'll compose a rocket for the Remain campaign, which didn't really try to win, did it? It assumed a remain vote, which was fucking arrogant, especially after Scotland.
TBH, I think they should all be slung out. No matter what result we get, the politicians who got us here have been negligent and arrogant. Even Churchill was voted out after WWII, because he was just not considered a leader for peacetime.
Just as the representatives of "Leave" will have to do the hard work (oh, dear) of negotiation and rebuilding all the institutions we will need, when we have but a small portion (shades of Jane Austen), the Remain lot will have to address the reasons so many people feel disadvantaged within the EU, particularly:
- inadequate education, particularly of the technical sort, and modern languages, which will ensure UK citizens are not at a disadvantage in the common market
- indebtedness. I'm bloody serious about this one. How can our citizens compete if shackled by debt from early adulthood? Paradoxically, how can our citizens NOT afford to take low-wage, precarious jobs to survive and pay off the bills? Yet credit is the obnnly solution offered to everything in the UK, right down to frighteningly basic things like education and housing. Other EU nations (leaving Greece aside) aren;t so indebted. It;s a cultural thing, and can only get worse outside the EU, when people have nowhere to go.
Personally, DH, the DC and I will probably be fine if there's a Brexit, but that doesn't mean I don't worry for people who are less fortunate in education and financial stability and pre-existing international links.
