Why Has Brexit Become Party Political

[NellieMay]

The referendum was not party political. Why were all the meetings, etc not conducted by a team of brexeteers who were the most competent and chosen from all parties. There could then have been a parliamentary vote for approval, and the strongest member of the team could lead the negotiaions with Brussels. Would this not have been fairer and more likely to be successful? Is this too simple?

Sorry if this is not in the right section. I usually avoid politics! But the present state of affairs would be laughable if it wasn't so serious!

labour aren't interested in making Brexit a party political issue, rather their intent is to wreck whatever the government field - irrespective of the content - in the expectation that it will precipitate a general election. if labour were to win, they are unlikely to do any better with Brexit, their party is just as divided as the tories, the difference being they don't have to (yet) pretend to be united. Keir Starmer might advocate remain but the leader is still JC and he's a Eurosceptic, and his (and momentum's) renationalisation programme cannot be enacted as envisaged with the UK in the EU.

‘labour aren't interested in making Brexit a party political issue, rather their intent is to wreck whatever the government field’

I think you should maybe read that back to yourself, mush.

You surely aren’t suggest that Brexiters smell are you Theland?
I have visions of the bogey man of the authoritarian right, George Soros, landing in the U.K. armed with refreshing EU towels and bars of Brussels soap: no doubt tainted with his wicked Jewish scent ;-)
