leavers have some serious work to do to recover that. Bellyaching that you want to leave but not working out a plan of how to do it is beyond pathetic
The vote was a simple choice between leave and remain. Many different ways to leave and hence not possible to list then all on the ballot paper. Plus government at the time (Cameron) thought that leave would never win and hence thought a simple leave or remain choice would be enough.
Cameron even wound his neck out by saying it was a once only referendum. Must have pooed his pants when the final result was known. However, he had made sure that as an individual he had an escape plan by saying that if the result was leave he would step down.
Once vote has been cast and the result is known it is then the government's task to implement the result. Bit like a judge and a jury. Once the jury has reached a verdict the judge then has to pass sentence or acquit. Regardless of the judges own opinion they are not allowed to overrule the jury's verdict.
This is where Brexit has failed. Too many MP's thinking they can ignore what voters said and are pursuing their own goals and what is best for their parties.
The WA was far from perfect, but at least it was a start. Yes it was voted down heavily, but the sticking point seemed to the Ireland backstop. Find a solution to that or have confidence that technology would provide a solution in a short time I think the WA would have got through parliament. However, some might say that Labour voted down everything that May proposed just to be awkward?
So where are we now? In complete chaos and T May running to Brussels for yet more extensions to Article 50. Some remainers might think that perpetual extensions will lead to either GE or second referendum or both and Brexit will be washed away.
That may happen, but what about the cost to businesses in both UK and in other EU members in the meantime? Some businesses might just leave the UK on the basis that the uncertainty has no end in sight and they don't want to be based in the UK? Even those Countries that UK hoped to make new deals with after Brexit must be asking themselves "does the UK have any idea what they are doing"
Also the more UK flounders around the greater the risk of a no deal. Whilst in my circumstances a no deal would not scare me (I am dual resident in UK and in South East Asia and most of my work is outside UK) it would certainly be a concern for those "average people" who have; always been UK based, young children, property and pensions in the UK that will very likely take a hit in a no deal scenario.
Many MP's and in particular the likes of JRM will feel little impact of a no deal as they are already well off and could relocate to another country if it was obvious UK was going down the pan.
Would I support leave again? Not sure if I would support anything after seeing UK governments performance since the referendum.
