Despite all politicians trying to keep attractive public issues to the fore – like real incomes, resources for schools, health services, policing, etc. – the topic of leaving the EU just will not go away. And since this is – in theory – the last season of party conferences before we leave, the topic has become unavoidable.
Sadly debate seems to have sunk to pro and anti factions calling each other names, a government tied to an unworkable plan and an opposition promising to block anything the government does. None of which is going to benefit the man on the Clapham omnibus.
But behind this lays a widespread impression that certain senior UK figures have tried – over many years – to lead the country down a path that has been deliberately concealed. And concealed because it would be unacceptable to the majority in a democratic vote. A view that has been subsequently supported as official documents were released at the end of their thirty year embargo. Even some European politicians openly confirmed the strategy.
That was why there was such opposition to having the 2016 referendum. It presented a rare opportunity for the ignored majority to change the national direction. Certainly plenty of those steering us towards a United States of Europe – lead by Germany and supported by France – were dismayed at the prospect. Even though almost all thought that Britain was too far committed to leave. Now they are working hard to either block the UK leaving or if that fails – speed-up the unification of the other 27 states and then ensure that they all boycott Britain.
So the next six months will see Britain faced with three outcomes – give up and ask to stay in the EU, leave in name only or regain true independence but be black-balled by our former partners. Will the British public choose financial self-interest over political independence? Who can say? But anyone that claims to be interested should just take a little time to read one or two of the many publications on the subject … You might be surprised.
