A Messy Divorce? |
Less than a week on from the EU Referendum result but it certainly feels like a long time for UK politics. Change is everywhere.
Aside from the official Westminster political manoeuvers the week has been full of crazy schemes and rash statements; autonomy for London, unification for Ireland, Scotland to block the EU exit letter, English out as an official EU language, no voting rights for Grandads, etc, etc. However the mood amongst our former EU political partners was no more tranquil - especially after MEP Nigel Farage turned up in Brussels to say I told you so. Some EU members wanted an immediate UK divorce while others tried to goad the UK into action by saying that we lacked the guts to actually leave. However most seemed to want to make the British pay for their stupid desertion vote and for us to regret ever challenging the right of the Brussels elite to lead the European continent towards its promised Nirvana. Now it looks like we are going to need a really-special special agent to make good our escape from Brussels in one piece. Things may get even worse before they get any better ... if that is even possible after England’s Euro 2016 football shambles on Monday. |

EU Referendum Vote |
The published facts are - LEAVE 17,410,742 Votes Meaning that LEAVE wins by a majority of 1,269,501 So now there are 16 million voters who did not get the result they wanted. A situation where the activists in the loosing camp will be demanding recounts, reruns or to simply ignore the outcome.
The fact that Scotland voted to Remain will be good news for the SNP and has already lead to calls for a re-run of the Scottish independence vote. Meanwhile poor Gibraltar has seen its huge vote to Remain swamped by the massive votes to leave in most of the English regions. More developments are sure to follow very soon ... Lord Farage? ex-Prime Minister Cameron? ... Watch it on a TV channel near you. |
