There was an opportunity after the Brexit vote to engage all parties and reach some kind of consensus on the way forward following the result. I feel that this opportunity was not really taken. Saying ‘you lost, get over it’ is not constructive. Insinuating that people who didn’t want to leave the EU were tantamount to traitors who hated the UK is pretty insulting.

I voted remain but I accept the result. Do I think leaving is a bad idea now? Very much so. Do I think the reality of what we have now matched the promises of the Leave campaign? Definitely not. As is often the case, political dogma does not last long when reality hits
