Bafflingly, the Lib Dems pretend the 2016 referendum never happened. They have pledged to revoke Article 50 if they win the upcoming general election. But we have to take them seriously, if only because the leader of the opposition is a 2-bit computer programmed only to defend jihadists and raid people’s salaries and savings. Jo Swinson and her Remainer allies on the Labour fringes will have Jeremy Corbyn for breakfast. The SNP will happily tuck in too, although they’ll insist on a second independence referendum as a first course.
A Remoaner government will push hard for Britain to return to the EU – at that point we will still be in the failing bloc in all but name, re-committing will simply be a matter of procedure. And aside from EU withdrawal, a Lib-Lab-SNP alliance will be desperate to borrow billions, raise taxes and spend freely, lumping debt on future generations.
That’s just the economics, we can also look forward to endless shaming of our great nation’s heritage which has helped bring democracy and prosperity to all four corners of the globe.
