“Those voters do not want to have a conversation about Brexit,” said Joshua Simons, the director of Labour Together, a think-tank close to Labour leadership. How dare they prioritise one group of voters over all others?
Ellwood thinks that the election will bring release and hope: “I can see all parties embracing the idea of rejoining the single market… I put money on it that it happens in the next five years.” After so many years of Brexit thought compliance, will this country be in a fit state to take such big steps? I don’t think so.
My understanding is brexit has harmed both the EU and the UK, by the obvious virtue of the EU becoming smaller and the whole point is being a big economic bloc, but I don’t see the harm now after they’ve already ruined that.
So what gets destroyed if they were to come back at 51% and then pull a brexit 2?
You mean besides the absurdly high cost for the preparation, changes in border checks, negotiations and whatever else? It was fucking exhausting.
I didn’t think of that, that’s exactly what I was asking. Thank you. Sounds absolutely miserable.
Because Europe is not a fucking mill that can be quit or joined out of a whim.
