For the last two years, British politics has seemed to have nothing to do with me, as I watch a squabble between two ideological sects, their members spread across the two main parties and incapable of resolving anything. They never talk about the things I think need talking about, and every pronouncement they make contains more questions than answers – particularly these ones:
1. “Brexit has been an exercise in democracy”
What could be more democratic than a referendum? One question, two clear choices, everyone gets heard, an unambiguous result leading to a straightforward course of action. So why are we still arguing so ferociously over it? Is it because the losers refuse to abide by the democratic result? Or because it is not clear who has decided what?
