As a nation, we are bound to disagree with each other, as that is what we do.
The only thing that has brought us together in the past is a war. We haven't had a war for seventy years and consequently we have become quite used to falling out between ourselves.

Labour will be using any failings in Brexit to oust the Tories and get into power themselves.
The SNP will be using it to get another Referendum on Independence.
All Politicians will say they could have got a better deal than May.
That I am afraid, is what Politics is all about.
It is power, they are not bothered about us.

We have had to wait for almost 2 years to get Brexit through, so we should expect them to meet their election promises within 2 years... or our vote will go to another party if they don't. There will no longer be the excuse that the EU are preventing them!

What can we tell them?
All we can do is vote for one or the other - a vote for any other party is effectively a lost vote - and whatever they say in their manifestos, at the end of the day they will do whatever they feel is best for them and not us.

We want Brexit as it allows us to make our own decisions, but we don't need it to help get rid of politicians who don't believe in democracy..... many have signed their own death warrant, as politicians, on that!
Perhaps we should follow France's demonstration on how to let our government know what we want!
