I read an article in the Telegraph about ten days before the
referendum vote.
It was not being anti-Brexit, as far as I could tell, but was
making the telling point that the Leave Campaign had 'not given the voters a
road map for what would happen post-Brexit'.
That was fair and I had long regarded this as the only weakness in
the Brexit case but it was one that had to be left unaddressed.
How could we know in precise terms what was going to happen? -
Brexit was always going to mean having to roll with the punches to an extent.
It would have been like a seriously good boxer up against a
cunning, dirty journeyman who knows how to scrap in the pub car park-style. The
good boxer might have a lot of ideas, he knows he is better, he knows that he
will ultimately win - but there is no way that he can map out how the fight will
go in advance.
Happily, this weakness in our case would have been hard to defend
and few Remainers probed us on that issue - so, in the Words of Billy
Shakespeare, All's Well That Ends Well.
If everybody had bothered to buy: The Blueprint: Our Future
After Brexit - by Jonathan Arnott MEP, they would have gained a pretty good
idea of how it would turn out - most predictions were spot on.
