I agree, Dave. We need to focus on the future. There was an interesting article by one of the Brexit MEPs saying he could see a shared interest between them and the LibDems in changing some of the election mechanisms. He wasn't exectly clear what he meant, because he said he was not keen on proportional representation, but he is right to the extent that the FPTP system does under-represent minorities.

The major parties are opposed to this, because obviously they risk losing some power. However, if the LibDems or some other party became Kingmaker, we could see an attempted revision to the voting system as part of the price, as we did with AV.


On another topic, there was an interesting snippet about fishing in, I think, the Independent:

Last month, Didier Guillaume, the French minister of agriculture and food, who also has responsibility for the French fishing industry, said that French fishermen would continue to fish in UK waters, even in the event of a no-deal Brexit.

"It is possible that, with Boris Johnson, we will have a hard Brexit. There is no circumstance in which one could prevent, in which Boris Johnson could prevent, French fishermen from fishing in British waters," he said.
In the event of a no-deal Brexit, key aspects of international fishing law are likely to be perceived in different and contradictory ways by different countries.
