Agree. Two years to negotiate our full extraction from the EU, not two years to negotiate a type of "leave" nobody voted for. The negotiations are supposed to be about how we both extricate ourselves from International treaties, not about which we, the UK, would like to keep and which ones to ditch.
The American war of independence and The Balkans breakup of Yugoslavia and the Balkans wars is all straw man stuff.
We voted to leave, and that is that; the deal was made absolutely clear during the campaign. I can imagine the backlash had we voted to Remain and then tried to change the conditions under which we remained. Yet that is what Brexit supporters are now trying to do.
As a Remainer I now demand that we are given what we voted for. Anything less will be a betrayal of what we were offered. Leavers should be up in arms with the fudge presently on the table, but they won't be. They were mostly used by the Little Englanders and Sovereignists and the 'Better off outists' but were too thick to realise it.
Politics, eh?
