You
could arguably say there is something wrong with the British
political leadership. Not just the Conservative government but the
whole lot in Parliament. First of all due to pressure of a sizeable
faction of all parties, not forgetting the then UKIP party, we
decided on a referendum. Great idea. It already showed the weakness
of the Conservative government. The result was to be fair, a foregone
conclusion albeit a close one. Leave the EU. Things should have been
simple all ties cut immediately, no further money. Simple. Simple?
Forget simple, in the UK today nothing is simple. Because as soon as
the result of the referendum was published, the snide remarks, the
constant sniping, the what if’s, the ‘we are out of our minds’
opinions surfaced and how! It shows without any doubt that our
government, indeed all political parties did not have any idea at all
as to what to do. They did not expect this result and still don’t.
It shows there is a malaise at the very top of the governing class. A
feeble, wet behind the ears sort of feeling. How did we ever win WW2?
I have to say knowing a bit about history it was touch and go. Even
before it started there were plenty who wanted to appease. In fact
there is nothing nice about our parliamentary system. But funny
though, it works in the main. I suppose that’s democracy but
sometimes top ministers need a dictatorial mindset. A message that Ms
May needs to learn quickly, if she can and that’s debatable too.
And finally, democracy is the word used in this country constantly, is it true though, are we really a democracy? I think we are basically an autocracy. There is a ruling class with totally different ideas to the general population. Just think about and then you will see how Brexit has developed!
