Cable Forum - Brexit (Old)

It's pretty shambolic all this - lots of conflicting information saying vote is going ahead and then it is not but it's now crystal clear, Downing Street no longer knows what Downing Street is doing. :rolleyes:

On that Mick we can agree.

I just want people to have the choice, and be able to vote based on accurate information. Giving people a choice is surely the very essence of democracy? Denying them that choice because it may go against what you want is anti-democratic.

No we didn't.

Re: Brexit

Maybe it's not the shambles that we think it is.

Let's go back to the referendum result, the one where the public voted to leave the EU.

After the result was in, Government, Business and Financial sectors should have started to make preparations for leaving the EU . . including the so called 'hard brexit'.

Instead they all sat around scratching their heads, looking uncomfortable and muttering 'well that didn't go how we thought it would'.

Then some bright spark decided the best way to deal with it was to fudge, obfuscate, manipulate, and spread dissent so that it all decended into a farce that would end with no brexit at all.

May's instinct has always been to delay problems rather than grasp the nettle, so delaying until the new year would be entirely in keeping with what we know about her

A delay will just bring more arm twisting without any chance of success of course.
