It’s a very very tricky situation. I didn’t expect it to be this bad, and for the deal to be so comprehensively disliked....It is after all only the first stage of the departure and gives a platform to build the future relationship.
I still don’t think anyone really knows what they want, why they want it etc. in relation to Brexit. It’ll never get resolved. It’ll never be accepted. The division is too profound.
Last year I was convinced people might settle on a soft Norway style relationship that would be a good compromise. We are some way off that.
I agree with what’s been said about political reform. We need a new type of activism and intelligent engagement with the process.
I’m sorry for those that may be disappointed but I just can’t see Brexit happening now any time soon...
