When you are in a club, you are in it for the benefits and you consider that the membership fees are worth paying in order to benefit from the advantages.
Now 52% of the electorate that voted were persuaded by lies and fake news that the benefits of being in the EU were not worth the cost.
48% of the electorate that voted thought that they were better off in the EU.
So this government is riding roughshod over the views of the 48%, in order to deliver a hard Brexit that they claim that the 52% voted for.
Except, that is not accurate. The 52% voted for various levels of exiting the EU. They did not vote for any particular version. In fact, had DC's wishlist been granted the referendum would probably not even have happened, and if it did, the result would have been a resounding REMAIN!
So, not only are the views of 48% being completely ignored, the varying degrees of the 52% are also being ignored.
The only ones that are content are the ones who want a Brexit at any price, and that is like turkeys voting for Christmas.
So when the details of Brexit are firmly 'on the table' we should have a referendum on the details and precise future arrangements of our relationship with the EU.
That is how divorces work, after the negotiations, the partners can decide to reject or accept the arrangements that have been negotiated.
The added complication in Brexit is the time limitations on negotiations, so the government had better get a move on, (current popular opinion). Otherwise we will crash out in the most catastrophic, acrimonious and chaotic way possible.
