It’s about a little more than a blue Passport but I agree with your sentiments.
We’ve elected the wrong politicians for just about any job they’re tasked with.
What a mess.

Are there any right politicians to elect. We have a pretty weak Parliament at the moment and I don't see that changing for a while.

Well there won’t be much sympathy for that...but for Eu members it’s hauntingly true.

To be honest Wattie this whole Brexit thing has been a nightmare for me, I'm safely EU resident now, but it was touch and go, I believe in the EU, I know some don't and that's it, and I understand remain lost but I do feel aggrieved that my whole way of life and the way I work has been changed for something I, me, didn't want.

For me 52% forcing the other 48% into their rabbit hole is not democracy.

Hey Wanderer I fully understand the way u and many others feel.
whilst I voted to leave there’s no doubt the whole affair could have been handled better.
That said- it will neverplease everyone.
I know you’re a fighter from all I’ve read. Protect your chin and if u think I can assist pm me.

What is it then? 50.1% is a democratic majority.

Watch the UK be next... the BOE would be stupid to pay interest for deposit when the ECB is pocketing about £20bn (you read that right) in 2020 from negative interest rates

I’m waiting for negative interest rates, my interest-only mortgage is 0.16% above BOE base rate. They keep asking me if I want to change it and I keep saying no. :D

It's a fair point, I don't know the answer but it does beg the question regarded the majority, is 50/50 fair to change a whole way of life that affects many? Should it be 60/40 or whatever? I dunno - just chucking it out there.....

How arrogant has the UK been over the past 3 years negotiating. Our politicians still think we live in the old colonial times, where the world feared us and would bow in front of us at our every demand.

What was impossible for Boris and his illuminati to understand is that Europe doesn’t care about the UK as much as it cares about the integrity of the union of its member states.

From Day 1, Europe had been very clear. There has been no bluff.
Boris with his usual misplaced bravado thought he’d make Europe change its view.

Macron and Merkel didn’t even want to meet with him yesterday. They repeated today that the lead negotiator Barnier and EU commission leader Ursula are empowered to negotiate on their behalf.

All Europeans leaders have been meeting all day today, and the Brexit topic was allocated only 8min... 8min?!?! That’s how important Brexit is to them, they’ve given up and moved on.

Only Boris continues to make a fuss and tell himself pretty stories about how he will save the day. The joke is on you Boris.
