Thread Name: BS: Post Brexit life in the UK
Subject: RE: BS: Post Brexit life in the UK
All along I've hoped that wise heads would get together so that brexit couldn't become an election issue and we could have an honest conversation about it. Labour is already in favour of at least some form of customs union and single market membership. I'm sure that the overwhelming mass of MPs on all sides agree with that. This country needs the Tories, just for once, to see that this would be far and away the best thing for the interests of the country, save for abandoning brexit altogether, and act on it. A bit of political unity is the only way to get us out of this morass. Of course, it won't happen. We've been hit by a double whammy to end all double whammies. First, a completely pointless and ill-advised referendum. Then a body of politicians who would rather play party games than honestly confront the apocalypse that's about to swallow us up. We need leadership informed by vision, but we haven't got it. A few months to go and minds have yet to be concentrated...
