Good heavens, a moment of agreement! Not that you said so when I posted this, but there you are

As I said earlier, I don't see a revitalisation of UKIP out of this: I fear that a much darker party might be coming up, with a manifesto to weaken the judges, the House of Lords, and all checks on the government - which they would hope to be them. They will do so, not so much based on the EU, but by playing on the anger of all those who feel cheated in any way. And their support could be very evenly spread throughout every constituency.

The next election might be a very dangerous time. I very much hope I am wrong.



There is not total agreement, though: that would be too much to expect. I think that risk is there WHATEVER the result of the Brexit negotiations, whereas it looks like you think it is only a risk if your preferred Brexit does not happen.

Steve is right that in the past Britain has avoided this path. I hope he is also right that we continue to do so.
