No, there is no doubt, that this election - should it happen - will be a surrogate referendum. No body cares a flying duck about education, welfare, nhs, climate change - non of that is on the agenda until Brexit is sorted.
I like getting called naive in this thread. It usually means I’m on the right track. 29th March... 31st October...

A surrogate referendum is hugely risky if Farage comes to the table. The Tories will lose seats in Scotland - that’s 13 they need to find elsewhere to be a minority Government again.
