I don't want No Deal, but with no change on the other side, what are we to do? Remain in purgatory forever more? Or get on with sorting out the many societal ills we have?
We need to move on. We need to fix our roads, we need to fix our schools, we need to invest in infrastructure, we need build a better society and help the poorest live a better life. We have to stop getting so angry over Brexit and move on, before we polarise ourselves forever and stop speaking to each other. And we need to respect votes and the people that voted in that vote. Whatever it entails. If it be Corbyn, McDonnell or Swinson being in Govt, I will accept the public vote, even if I don't like it. Because I will be adult about it.
I believe - and have done for some time, in fact since it became clear that parliament couldn't command a majority for any course of action - that we need to hold a General Election. And we need to do it as soon as possible. Ideally early October.
I'm very much anti-Brexit, always have been. I think it's a bad idea for a myriad of reasons and I resent all the rights I will lose if it goes ahead.
But we know it was marginally the will of the people; and if the representatives of the people can agree to a structure to execute it, then of course Brexit is what should happen - that's how a parliamentary democracy should function.
But if parliament gets bogged down - as it has done - and the people's representatives can't agree on a structure, then we need to elect new representatives. Again, a healthy parliamentary democracy.
Instead we've got a minority of MPs adopting a strategy of bypassing parliament through a series of abnormal technical measures to engineer the solution they want. It's profoundly anti-parliamentary democracy and it's actually angered me far more than anything else that's happened over the past three years. All of a sudden, I don't have representation - instead the "solution" is being imposed (or at least trying to be imposed) without debate and without a majority.
Thing is - I think there's an excellent chance, given the way the country appears to be leaning and the makeup of the electorate, that BoJo would win that general election (as long as he gets Nige on board); it would be a de facto second referendum and would give him the remit to go ahead and undertake a No Deal Brexit if that's what his government believes is right for the country. And in such circumstances, any Remainer complaints would be pretty hollow.
But instead they've chosen a strategy that's crass and cowardly.
Oh, and I agree 100% about the need to move on.
But I'm not sure we'll be able to with a No Deal Brexit any time soon; far too much work to do, far too many key decisions to be made to ensure we can function and far too much short term spending needed to set up the new systems and programs we'll need; borrowing may be getting more expensive for the country as well.
