Really?
If you'ree trying to help me understand your point of view, at least use something that's realistic.
But being unrealistic was the point of the example.
Yes, we can leave the EU. That bit's easy. If the Government does nothing for the next two weeks, we'll leave by default.
But the Leave campaign in 2016 wasn't just about leaving. It was also about making promises about what would happen if we left that were based on utter fantasy... the idea that countries would come begging to us for trade deals exclusively on OUR terms, that in a World in which
all countries depend on each other and every country is constrained by all sorts of agreements, the UK could somehow be completely independent and in full control of its destiny - when in practice that is true for no other country on the planet. And that's even before you start thinking about all the lying about the nature of the EU that was an integral part of the Leave campaign (and a fair dose of morally pretty repugnant xenophobia - I realise that not everyone who voted Leave would have been motivated by xenophobia, but that was still clearly a very big part of the Leave campaign that was presented to the UK).
So what that all adds up to was that Leave were selling a package that was unrealistic fantasy. Not too unlike my analogy of voting to move the UK to the Moon.
In that situation, to keep arguing that, the people voted so we must respect the will of the people and we absolutely must proceed with Brexit no matter what is - frankly - daft. At the very least, if you're going to keep running the 'will of the people' argument, you should check whether the 'will of the people' is the same now that there's more information about how un-rosy a future outside Europe is likely to be.
The media reports how our country has spent the last two years in hiatus as companies are unsure what's happening. The sooner we're out of that situation, the better - that's what's important.
I rather doubt that. I woudl rather imagine that the reality will be: If we do leave, there is going to be so much work to do in untangling the likely economic mess, sorting out what rules we're going to have to replace the EU rules, getting imports and exports on a stable basis, negotiating our place in the World, etc. etc. that the current situation of the Government having very little bandwidth to deal with pressing domestic issues will carry on for years into the future.
I also fail to understand why remainers have decided that if we leave the EU, workers rights will be eroded.
That will be because, if we do leave this month, it will be under a Tory Government. And vast numbers of people have no confidence in the Tories to respect workers rights, once they are no longer bound by EU rules to do so.
