tebee Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 If you believe in a Great Global Britain, widely respected and admired, punching above its weight in the world, you should be aware that the rest of the world is looking on with pity and bemusement at our continuing act of chaotic, pointless, unthinking self-harm. The rest of the world does not see the UK as striking out bravely into the world, but as a diminishing itself, blowing apart it's own reputation. As American explained to me today that the reason Trump loves Brexit is that it will make the UK weaker and easier to exploit. He hates the strength of the EU, and wants to deal weaker, smaller countries that can be dominated. An Italian told me today that when he feels hopeless about his own countries' politics, he consoles himself that it's nowhere near as bad as the situation facing the UK. Any reputation for being sensible, forward-thinking, pragmatic, or trustworthy is disappearing fast. Brexit, and the government's pig-headed handling of it, weakens the UK's influence and standing in the world more every day. Our country is becoming a joke, and a bad one at that. Surely few can find this tolerable. Stopping and reconsidering would not be seen as weakness, but an act of sanity that would be applauded & respected around the world. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you open the atlas and look at the map, the UK will still be in the same place. We will be leaving a political apparatus; we will not be leaving the continent of Europe. We wish to remain a good friend and reliable partner for all EU countries and the EU itself. Perhaps the best way to describe it is we are aiming to have the same friends but with different structures. That about sums it up.

The problem with most populist policies are today's problems are complex and it's hard for the masses to understand them. Simple solutions are almost invariably wrong, but the populist masses can understand them. There is no solution to this that is compatible with democracy though, other than having educated and informed press and politicians - which we don't at the moment. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
