‘IF’ we get a Brexit worthy of the word, (which looks increasingly unlikely so cheerio fake tory party), the difference will be we the electorate have the ability to sack those who would ruin out country.
Yes OK its ruined already to a great extent and the demongraphic (not a typo) time bomb is primed and counting down, but again ‘IF’ the electorate have the sense, and stop listening to the MSM spouting the propaganda of the likes of the CBI various bought and paid for politicians and other vested interests, then whats coming can be delayed for a few generations more.
Breath not held.
Even if we get a Brexit worth the name, it will take several years, and possibly several general elections before the necessary changes can be effected, but there is something looming which is going to throw the mother of all spanners into the works, and that is the coming downturn, which is coming whatever happens.
Our problem this time is a totally unmanageable welfare state, sizeable benefactors of which are a rapidly increasing number who will never be the nett contributors to the country’s piggy bank that those on the left asserted would be the case.
The welfare state and those it attracts by the hundreds of thousands is the great elephant in the room, and few have the guts to stand up and say what must be said let alone anyone with the power to alter things, so the elephant grows at an exponential rate.
We haven’t touched on the way these elephants have altered the very fabric of this country, something else that has massive costs which again are not to be spoken of, and not just in monetary terms.
Only history (unfortunately written and edited by those in power, the victors, at any given time) given the benefit of time will be able to see what was our best option, whether we will fare the next great recession better on our own or we should have stayed under EU (German) rule and gone down with the rest of the Euro ship, will be debated for generations to come.
That debate sadly will be quite academic, because the damage to this country which will yield what is coming is irreversible, Nu Labour Blair and his henchmen are the main culprits, but followed by a pointless demi son in the form of Vanished Cameron and another pointless EU shill in May.
As Peter Hitchens oft quotes, it’s only the obituary of the country that is now being written.
Brexit or no Brexit, this country will never revert to the once free Jerusalem i was fortunate enough to grow up in, that has gone, politicians both here and elsewhere have destroyed it (and without a shot being fired in defence) the future for our children will not be about petty things like wages due to peaceful genuine working people being imported, it will be about our children’s children survival in a country still worthy of the name.
One of the side effects of “Rule by the EU” has upon the UK - is that only Left, Center Left, and Liberal parties are permitted to run in UK elections. There is no limit to the amount of “overseas funding” that can be given to assist our Westminster Establishment on BOTH sides of the house - to prevent the widespread election of “minor” parties of any sort - except Pro-EU “Nationalist” Parties of course… Sinn Fein, SNP, Plaid Cymru… but not a resurgant Right-Wing Conservative Party, UKIP, EDL, BNP, or even any independent Right of Karl Marx.
We are where we are with Brexit - because the 52% that voted for it - were tricked into voting Mainstream (as I was last year) - through “fear of the other mainstream side winning”.
“None of the above” voters will be told “Vote or one of the extreme parties gets in” meaning anyone bar Labour and Libdem/Conservative of course… There was little enough desire for a Majority Conservative government at the last election - that Theresa May lost what little majority she inherited from Cameron having sliced up UKIP for her already. She attempted to slice UKIP up again (to flog a dead horse) only to have around 3m UKIP voters from 2015 go to Labour rather than the 500k (including myself) that held their collective noses, and reluctantly supported Theresa May “or else we get Corbyn”…
Well, at the next election - I’m not afraid of Corbyn any more. As it stands, in any “early election” - I’ll be voting UKIP if Brexit isn’t completed by that point.
If it IS completed, I’ll vote for the party that did that.
That means having voted Libdem more often than for any other party - I can safely say that there is a 0% chance I’ll be voting Libdem then!
