Re: Brexit

Some would contest that it’s the UK succumbing to the pressure it put itself under by having a referendum few wanted (at the time) under the belief the result was a foregone conclusion. (Note: I’m not using this to undermine the result- simply stating the Cameron position).

Cameron didn’t plan for Brexit, even those who campaigned for it abandoned their government posts when they saw how difficult it was.

To put the blame for any of this at the door of the EU is ignoring that it is us who are reliant on EU trade, migration, etc. yet made no contingencies for the alternative.
