Re: Brexit

I think the bigger problem is the lack of unity. The result was the worst difficult one from an implementation perspective: A narrow win for the change option which the government and Parliament didn't want.

At the start Brexiters should have thought: This was a narrow win, we need to take the other side with us and Remainers thought 'we need to stop this'. There was no attempt to work it out.

I think May did what she thought was best after the election. The conference speech before it with 'citizen of nowhere' was the worst possible tone though and only done because she thought she needed to compensate for having supported Remain and went too far.

But think of how difficult this situation is for Parliament. A population divided down the middle want to vastly different outcomes.
