THERE is no doubt that Leave was far too complacent after the referendum. We
thought we had won and it was all over bar Parliamentary implementation which
would be rather dull. No-one thought Remainers would overnight become Leavers,
but we did expect them to treat the result in the same way as a win at a general
election. Many have honourably done so. However, some Remainers claim they
respect the referendum result but, by their actions, we know they don’t. Others
are quite blatantly siding with the EU and doing everything in their power to
overturn our democratic decision. Since the facts haven’t changed, and a
majority want the government to “get on with it”, we will be leaving. So the
only result that Remain can achieve is for the UK to get a worse deal, with an
enormous bill, when otherwise we could just leave, using the existing WTO trade
deal. Appeasement on the scale of our entry negotiations in 1972 will harm the
UK for decades, and could result in the implosion of the Conservative
party.
