Brexit - 10 Years On.

if brexit was done properly, I believe we would be as good as other places in the USA, booming with promise & even have the seeds planted for becoming as economic viable as Asia, the UAE.

problem is the majority of the public, the tories & the MSM absolutely ruined any hope - ANY HOPE - of ever getting a proper deal.

I love Spain, France, Greece, italy, tureky etc so don't get me wrong.

We needed a complete cut of rules & regulations, it can be done. We needed a WTO deal which meant free markets, we needed to reboot the notion that capitalism is bad, there is 1 type of capitalism that is beneficial for all.

if I was old enough I would of voted leave but sadly most celebs, politicians were so tied to mother EU - they ruined it….

forgiveness won't come from myself as I view many of these "notions "what happened as a ruination of my future ….. & future generations.

Are we allowed to talk about Brexit?

There's a notice about political neutrality… presumably that means we've got to seek out someone who can talk it up, in order to balance the reality?

If Brexit had been done properly, then we wouldn't have left the EU.

It was an advisory referendum and the only thing that the result told us was that parliament was badly out of touch.

The only way to do Brexit properly was to address that problem first, and then look again at the question of the European Union.

Leave would not have won a second time, and they probably wouldn't have won the first time if the referendum had been made binding by democracy rather than by diktat.

The electorate of the UK is not stupid and democracy works a lot better if politicians don't assume that it is.

I think we all know what Brexit was really about and it certainly wasn't for the people.

The nation delivered a 52:48 result.

That's not ⅓ of the electorate, that's the decision of the electorate overall. For clarity, because people are easily confused, that's not a decision to leave, but a decision to deliver a 52:48 result,which is exactly what they had been told, by the principle proponent of the project, would be unfinished business.

If you want to make an argument that the nation weren't voting for the unfinished business option, then do feel free, but ⅓ of the electorate is not any kind of argument at all.

While one third is accurate regarding the total registry, standard democratic conventions rely on a different principle, which is those who chose to abstain effectively granted their tacit acquiescence to whatever the active voting majority decided. In any democratic exercise, the outcome is determined by those who participate, not by those who remain silent.
