re: #92 Curious Lifeform

His opinion has been unfashionable since Iraq, but Tony Blair pointed recently that a general election is a trap for Labour: If they get in they will have sort out the whole mess. I think somebody in Labour sat up and took notice of that.

I said it about Theresa May; she was like a lawyer with an unreasonable idiot for a client. No matter how many times she advised the country, “You don’t wann do this - you’ll lose - take the deal!” the country kept shouting back, “Nah take ‘em to WHO court!”

I wouldn’t want that client. Whoever is in government when it goes down, will be held responsible.

At this point, there’s only one of three outcomes:

- No-deal Brexit, which even in the best scenario is still going to cause a great deal of disruption and pain for the nation, with estimation of a decade or longer to recover

- May’s deal with the backstop, which the Leave crowd absolutely hate as it doesn’t get the UK out of the EU entirely and the Remain crowd hate because it means Brexit

- Revoking Article 50, which will leave the country with all the damage and disruption from uncertainty, as well as a white hot anger among the Leave crowd who will feel that their voters were ignored

However you slice it, the UK is fucked for the near future.
