Brexed, bothered and bewildered? A guide.
1. Like the US, we should never hold national referenda on issues of national importance.
2. Why? The people elect governments to decide on issues of national importance.
3. It’s they who have all the important background, stats and info about matters of state, ergo it’s only they who can competently assess, analyse and conclude on critical issues affecting the nation. As in other countries, parliamentary discussions, arguments and analyses should all take place behind closed doors. Take Parliament Question Time off our screens. They should not wash their dirty linen in public.
4. For the public: you don’t buy a dog and bark yourself. Let them get on with it. If you don’t like what they do, vote them out next time. It’s called democracy.
5. The 2016 Brexit referendum should have been merely advisory, the split public result proving beyond all doubt that a governmental decision was essential.
6. What to do now?  What would Churchill have said to both his Cabinet and the British public?  Support your Prime Minister.
