Its been nearly three months since my last words about Brexit, Much has changed since with Boris becoming PM, but I wanted to write a few more words about this weeks protests and the temporary suspension of Parliament.
'Undemocratic' I keep hearing, well, yes trying to defeat the will of the people for three years without offering alternative proposals, does seem a bit undemocratic. I understand why remainers feel so strongly, but feeling strongly doesn't make you right, and it doesn't give you the right to do all you can humanly, politically, legally and illegally do to avoid implementing the will of the people. Having people who would ignore the referendum after spending three years of doing all they could to stall it and ignore it, calling the prime minister 'undemocratic' for trying to finally force the will of the people through parliament is incredibly crass.
I've also heard that Remainers are 'being ignored', but this is also not true. They had ample opportunity to put their case, their votes were counted, there were fewer than for Leave. That's democracy for you. You can still disagree, but you do not have the right to clothe yourself in being 'right'. Winning is winning. Losing is tough sometimes, but behaving like mardy kids who want to make it best of three is another altogether.
I am still awaiting some news of positive proposals from Remain, rather than just 'being against' this or that. We have had three years in which a deal could have been made based on the Canadian Model, or the Norway model, or something else. However, MP's have done little other than try to convince the populus that the Leavers got the answer wrong, and the only way to deal with this is to jump in the time machine and try again. All the whining and fretting has just wasted the opportunity we had to get on with it.
