The Leavers are Broken. Nobody is in a Position to Implement Brexit. Let's End this Madness and Make a Fresh Start

11 Jul 2016

What a shambles! The quitters have quit. The splitters have split! The wreckers have resigned.

Boris, Farage, IDS, Fox, Gove, Leadsom - resigned, withdrawn, unsupported.

Not one of the Leavers has the wit or courage or competence even to carry out out Brexit - let alone lead tough negotiations with the EU or with the rest of the world.

The Referendum was hardly decisive - 37% of the electorate should not be allowed to bring ruin on the whole country.

63% did not vote to Leave - either not voting at all or being part of the 16 million who actively voted to Remain.

A 51.9% vote wouldn't even let you change the constitution of a golf club - let alone threaten a continent, divide the UK and betray the hopes and aspirations of our youth!

Was it all a joke? A public schoolboy jape? An exercise in egotism?

There is now nobody of any experience, standing or ability who can implement Brexit - or even wants to do it all.

It is now clear that the Referendum does not command enough support to be acted upon.

Let's draw a line. Let's make a fresh start.

Let's recognise the unhappiness expressed, let's accept the criticism of the UK and the EU and act on both, let's resolve to redress the economic and social balance in favour of the less advantaged, let's put right the many wrongs that have surfaced.

Let's listen to the voice of the people, but let's leave it to Parliament to decide how best to address their grievances - in ways that strengthen our economy and our ability to care for each other, in ways that heal our divisions and in ways that leave us once again able to able to contribute to improvement and reform at home, in Europe and globally.

Let's hold our heads high once again!
