I wonder if David Cameron (Ex Prime Minister) gets a good night sleep to think that he persuaded the UK electorate to vote for the Tories (Conservative Party) and would make sure we would get a referendum to decide whether to stay in or leave the European Union. We are actually all Europeans, we live on her continent, but we may not all be ‘Europeans’.
The EU government run by non-elected officials who are at best administrators have never really had the UK interests at heart.
If their reaction and language has anything to go by, it proves that the UK should not be part of their administrative process. The cultures between the countries in the EU are so diverse and apart from having the same currency and some of the same labour laws, basically the countries and its people are very very different. A united EU has never been a true possibility and now with the UK out of it, it will never happen.
That Theresa May (Prime Minister at time of writing) believes that she can force the elected members of parliament and the UK constituents to lay down and accept a deal that she agreed, without initial consultation, is unacceptable to the democratic process in the UK. To then complain that MP’s use their democratic right to vote against an unacceptable deal means that she is lost in her own power.
Words like ‘you the Public’, in a recent address on TV (20 March, 2019), shows that she is so far removed from the ‘Public’ and our lives and how all this seems to be about her. I say this because if you listen carefully Theresa May uses the word ‘I’ very often.
In scrolling through Twitter, I discovered a tweet promoting a petition to revoke article 50 (Brexit) and when I clicked through to it, the amount of signatures that were being added were running at some pace. I looked in the morning at around 6.30pm and there were 392k signatures, now looking 3 hours later, there are 632k signatures, 240k added in just 3 hours.
The government must have a debate in the house if it reaches 100k signatures, I think this has been surpassed 6-fold and it will likely reach the millions.

It all started with David Cameron back in 2013, when he promised an in/out referendum. 6 years later and the British Lion is in pain.
