There is little doubt that the general election on June 8
will be, in effect, a second referendum. That is because many politicians,
including Tony Blair, Nick Clegg and Michael Heseltine, have not honoured the
Leave vote in the 2016 Referendum, instead vowing to overturn the result, or
keep us partly in the EU.
Yet a “soft” Brexit is a fake Brexit. If the whole of the
UK remains subject to EU legal supremacy, the EU courts and must continue to pay
into the EU, then we have not really left.
Suppose we had voted Remain by the same margin (52:48).
Would Remain activists and politicians accept that we should leave the CAP and
CFP, and only remain in the single market? To just ask the question is to
demonstrate the absurdity of the current Remain position.
Unfortunately the Remains, and the EU, have been encouraged
by the timid responses from Theresa May’s government. Just two examples: she has
failed to adequately confront the fake Brexit propaganda, and equally failed to
laugh off the self-serving EU demands for the UK to pay a “Danegeld” bribe to
the tune of £52 billion.
Leave is not yet a done deal: we have to vote (again!) to
make sure it is.
