The question was ‘Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the European Union?’
That was a singularly flawed question, because no one really realised what the ramifications were. It should have been a two part referendum - the first asking whether the terms should be investigated, & the second asking whether we should leave under those terms.
So much did not come up during the actual debates, & so much of what did come up was just made up. People had been fed lies for decades about interference from Brussels that they believed anything, including lies about the economics. And no one mentioned that there would need to be a border between Ireland & Northern Ireland - something guaranteed to get the bombs going again. Every time someone says the technology exists for a frictionless border, I really wish that statement would be followed up with the question ‘& what are these technologies?’ Because they don’t actually exist.
52% voted to leave. They didn’t think about whether they could agree on the how of that. & no one can agree that how. So it will be a crash out with no deal come 31st October.
I’ve spent the last three years depressed & angry about this. I don’t see that changing come October.
