“A VOTE to leave will push our economy into a recession”. So said then Chancellor George Osborne in the run-up to the referendum.
Note to the few Remainers still attempting to block Brexit: he didn’t say a recession when we leave the EU, but a recession when we “vote to leave”.
It hasn’t happened. The whole basis of the Remain campaign has proved to be false. Here we are [more than] a year after the Leave vote with two per cent growth. Hope has triumphed over fear.
Indeed, the Lib Dems’ paltry result of 12 seats in the general election shows there is no enthusiasm for their Remain speciality of regarding 17.4 million of us Leave voters as not knowing what we voted for.
Almost all the political parties lost, so there is no approval for any of the individual manifestos. The only mandate that transcends the failed parties is the one given directly by the electorate in the Referendum: leave the EU. With that instruction, the UK cannot remain in the EU or in any part of it, after mid-2019.
