BREXIT - not amateur radio

With a probable election in the UK on December 12th, it is anyone's guess what will happen regarding BREXIT.

If the Conservatives manage to get a big majority they will probably try to get their current withdrawal agreement passed into law.

If the Labour party gets to form the next government they will probably go for a new, softer, withdrawal agreement and probably push for a people's vote (referendum) to either approve this or remain in the EU.

If the Lib Dems win then BREXIT will be cancelled and we will remain in the EU.

Somehow I cannot see the BREXIT party doing well. They may have some followers, but if they stand against Conservatives they could lose the seat to Lib Dems or Labour.

Like many, I personally favour remaining in the EU or a much softer form of BREXIT. After 3.5 years, like many, I am tired of BREXIT! Years ago we joined a common market. That is what we have always wanted, plain and simple: nothing more and nothing less.

Personally, I doubt if this UK election will make matters clearer.

  1. The election will be interesting for sure.

    There are a lot of angry people and some 'scores' will be settled.

    However no matter which way you vote, if indeed you vote at all, democracy is broken.

    So many people have attempted to overturn what was a majority decision, even if it was by a small percentage, because they didn't like the outcome, rather than accept the result and jointly work towards the best outcome, as has always previously been the case in a democratic society.

    A new precedent has been set, so why should any vote be respected in future ?

    As soon as you do everything to subvert a decision because you don't like it, anarchy rules.
