Of course, they have been helped all along by the 5th column here at home and a useless Prime Minister May, who was quite happy to fool the Leave voters into thinking she was backing the referendum result, whilst the EU team laughed at her behind her back for being such a willing humiliated patsy.
Who knows how it will all end? but I feel we have more chance of shaking the EU Dog by the collar with Boris and Co in the driving seat. He knows he and his party (Leave and Remain) are in the last chance saloon. No Brexit - No Tory Party for years, Brexit - preferably with a deal but without if necessary, Tory Party will call an immediate GE and will romp home.
Make no mistake about it. Boris is not kidding about No Deal.
The EU had no need to use any tricks. They only had three red lines
1. There could be no cherry picking
2. The UK could not have as good a deal outside the EU as it had when it was a member
3. Protecting the GFA which was a red line for one of its members
You unfortunately conflate experienced negotiating skills with arrogance and intransigence.
We on the other hand have had a successive number of incompetents who lacked any negotiating skills and had no plan
While those opposed to Brexit no doubt frustrate you, your use of the term 5th columnists seems to imply that you think of the EU as an enemy and that those in the UK who express their democratic right to to opposition are traitors. I don’t ever recall anyone ever levelling such accusations at eurosceptics who have been both vocal and active since we joined the EEC. Such stifling of democracy has sinister far right overtones
You may be right that it will be the end of the Conservatives if they don’t deliver Brexit but it’s just as likely it will be the end of the Conservative party if a no deal Brexit turns out to be a disaster for the UK and along with it all other euroscgptic parties.
Boris may well go into the history books but time will tell whether it’s as a latter day Churchill or pariah like Eden
