Democracy, shamocracy.

Regarding fishing, it makes up less than 0.5% of the country's GDP so in terms of importance other industries are far more important to the country no matter how many times you borrow Diane Abbott's magic calculator! Put it another way, there's about 11,000 people employed in the UK fishing industry compared to 856,000 in the wider automotive sector. Leaving the EU is a threat to this important industry and our tax base as once jobs leave, they don't tend to come back. Greg Clark seems to be belatedly waking up to the facts.

You may criticise, but I suspect your solution to this referendum vote would cause riots on the streets!

The electorate voted for Brexit and that is what the Government is attempting to deliver, despite the constant obstructions of the Labour Party, who have no appreciation of how flawed their current position is on Brexit and who seem to change their policy direction like the wind.
