I think the last paragraph is the one that drives the running for cover need
The rest was a reasonable arguement for the leave cause. That one, unfortunately, just reads (to me) as an attack on anyone who disagrees with you and undoes much of the coherence of what went before. I’m sorry if I’ve misread it in some way but your follow up post appears to reinforce that interpretation.
It seems she’s also taken negotiations into her own hands to deal with directly rather than the group that couldn’t decide on what to have for lunch let alone agree on something to do with Brexit.
I always thought 2 years was too short a time for it to happen in regardless. There have been talks on and off about a longer transition period from the start.
I think the government has gone about this the wrong way from the start.
IMO, They should have consulted the electorate after the result to find out why they voted leave or remain and then took it from there… A mass survey would have done the trick and given a platform for them to formulate a plan from.
And what would that have told us? We don’t want EU regulation but we want access to the single market on our terms would be the consensus from the leave camp.
It doesn’t matter what we want, the EU has to agree and there’s no reason why they should.
All the pre referendum talk of trade deals with the EU never mentioned the fact that a deal needs both sides to want some version of it
Everything you have mentioned means absolutely nothing to me whatsoever, and I bet that a large percentage of the population would struggle to explain what the single market is or what trade deals are…
Im also confident that single market and trade deals weren’t even in people thoughts when they went to the ballet box.
I work with many nationalities and it was free for all in attacking them, even UK citizens with Canadian accents were asked when they were going home.
Edit to add: It’s really difficult when every single one of my friends/family/acquaintances who voted leave is a devoted or closet racist. The ones who start conversations with “I’m not a racist but…”.
