| Was that from a Daily Mail editorial? You so utterly fail to understand the question of the 'governance' of the UK that it's sad. As to Cameron, he promised you bad things if you elected to leave the EU. No promise broken. The sovereignty 'we signed away'? We've always had it; it even said so in May's leave-the-EU bill. If we've not seen that sovereignty think about why - start with the two-party system and first-past-the-post. This minority government certainly doesn't like it when Parliament exercises sovereignty. Bonehead Mogg dislikes it so much he suggests the Prime Minister should suspend Parliament. How's that for democracy? Of course we have fewer chances of renegotiating our position: that's because the timetable unnecessarily imposed by May when declaring Article 50 has almost run its course. Her fault. The 'once proud and free' country: we have always been free and remain so. We were once proud, but no longer, not since we swapped the role of 'sick man of Europe' for 'laughing stock of the world'. Federalist? What were we in WWII if not a federation of allies against Hitler? If you want to discover the cause of the UK's undoubted problems - healthcare, policing, social care, education, prisons, austerity, housing, infrastructure, crime, etc - look to Westminster for the causes, not to Brussels. |
