Tory voters losing faith in Brexit

If I were a betting man, I would now begin to lay out the odds as to when ( not if ) we are back in the Single Market or somehow aligned with, or part of the European Economic Area.

Some people cannot see further than the end of their noses, and refuse to accept what is over the horizon, but to not acknowledge that it is in your best interests to work closely, and in alignement, with your neighbours, who are also your most important trading partners, is sheer obstinacy.

I don't think people are losing faith in Brexit, they are losing faith in the Conservatives to make Brexit a success, which is different. The Establishment (Civil Service, lefties in media, education and politics) are determined that Brexit will not be a success.

There is a difference between "working closely and in alignment with" and being under their Parliamentary control and paying through the nose for the pleasure.

Out best interests is building towards Pacific Trade, which is what we are doing.

I know this will upset the Remnants, but let's inject some real-life experience into the debate:

When we left the EU my personal portfolio was barely dented. Covid had a far greater effect on it (from which it's since recovered) and China fully opening up for business again this week has created significant gains.

Indeed, the UK market is now trading higher than it was pre-Brexit and pre-Covid.

All of which proves that EU membership isn't greatly important to UK plc's economic well-being and that other influences have a far greater effect.

Which is not to say that everything in the garden is rosy. For several decades the UK economy has been held back by a failure to invest in our people which was disguised for many years by the importation of cheap foreign labour.

But now that's been curtailed, those underlying structural issues have again become visible.

Of course, disingenuous commentators and their gullible believers will try to blame Brexit for those issues but that's like blaming the wallpaper for a crack in the wall: “If only we could put the EU wallpaper back up we wouldn't be able to see the cracks.”

Well, no. But they would of course still be there. And right now, Brexit is the only way that companies and public bodies can be made to properly address the underlying structural issues rather than hiding behind the EU excuse.

But there again, it would seem that most properly run companies are getting on with business as usual. And for those that are moaning, I'd suggest that says more about their incompetent management practices than it does about Brexit.

I'm sure then that whatever Party is advocating this will have a landslide of support at the next election.

I agree, it may even have been higher. Remember the government were recommending a remain vote. It was only afterwards, and particularly during the Johnson era, that the Tories turned into the Brexit or UKIP Party. Which was ironically the reason they held the referendum in the first place.

Totally agree that Brexit was never a left / right thing in the way that some people paint it to be. Wouldn't surprise me if Corbyn voted leave either.
