Hence we get the divisiveness we now see in the country. You ignore us and try to push us into a corner, we will fight back. You must be living in a parallel universe. Remainers are not the victims here. They lost the battle but with the connicance of a Remainer PM and Remainer Parlaiment are going to win the war. Its Brexiteers who have to find a way to fight back, and that can only mean a future full of the divisiveness you mistakenly blame on them.

We have such differing world views that we both feel betrayed by TM's actions , but for opposing reasons. This the problem with populist politics and politicians. They don't realize that democracy is not to the victor the spoils. We need consensus politics were everyone's view is taken into account. OK the winners should be take into account more, but ignoring a sizable percentage is a recipe for instability which is exactly what we have got. Stirring patriotic frenzy by calling one side traitors and saboteurs may play well to the gallery, but causes divisions in society. What we should have done is stopped and thought about what we wanted from Brexit. Talked to people from both sides. Weighed up the advantages and disadvantages of each aspect of our membership and worked out what we want to keep and what we can do without. Now any rational discussion like that is impossible. TM has always had a bee in her bonnet about immigration from her time at the Home Office. She took brexit and used it to drive a deal that stopped EU immigration, only half wrecked British industry, but left the UK subservient to the EU. She is using brexit, neither for Leave or remain purposes, but to forward her own agenda - her red lines. How do we recover from this ? - I have no idea. The country is broken.

She still comes out of it with a generous PMs private pension of 65,000/year, so it's not all lose for her. Not to mention her PMs allowance of 150,000/year AFTER she leaves the job payable for life.

I find much to agree with in your analysis and your depressing conclusion, though I see May more as a pawn than a prime mover on the European chessboard, manipulated - whether she realises it or not - to ensure the right outcome for the globalists. One thing is clear from the present shambles : whether or not the country is broken, our political system certainly is - a bitter reality becoming clear to Remainers and Leavers alike. If nothing else, a failed Brexit will at least provide the impetus for both sides to help rebuild it from the ground up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
