TheBossRossThe entire text is a devastatingly factual analysis after 2 years of #Brexit.
"It is rare for a country to voluntarily impoverish itself. But the British have chosen to do so."
The WalrusThe thing about that is, "the British" chose no such thing.
As you know, there was an opinion poll, which BY LAW was not a decision.
After that, it all went sideways, in constitutional terms. Major decisions are made by MPs voting. They didn't vote on whether or not to leave the EU.
As the Supreme Court ruled in retrospect, Theresa May decided we would leave the EU. Did she have the constitutional authority to do that to 65 million people?
My guess is NO.
Phil Thane ✅@TheWalrus @TheBossRoss The problem is we, 'The British' have gone along with a disfunctional election process, a largely ceremonial parliamentary system and an elastic constitution for centuries because it sort of worked and we were complacent. Now when it has clearly failed we have no means to correct it. #UK #Politics
