Have You Seen This?

Apologies if you have. Just thought I'd share. It was emailed to me by a friend this afternoon.

The political scene is somewhat confusing at present. This explains what has happened.
The leader of the opposition campaigned to stay but secretly wanted to leave, so his party held a non-binding vote to shame him into resigning so someone else could lead the campaign to ignore the result of the non-binding referendum which many people now think was just angry people trying to shame politicians into seeing they'd all done nothing to help them.
Meanwhile, the man who campaigned to leave because he hoped losing would help him win the leadership of his party, accidentally won and ruined any chance of leading because the man who thought he couldn't lose did - but resigned before actually doing the thing the vote had been about.
The man who'd always thought he'd lead next, campaigned so badly that everyone thought he was lying when he said the economy would crash - and he was, but it did, but he's not resigned, but, like the man who lost and the man who won, also now can't become leader. Which means the woman who quietly campaigned to stay but always said she wanted to leave is likely to become leader instead.
Which means she holds the same view as the leader of the opposition but for opposite reasons, but her party's view of this view is the opposite of the opposition's.
And the opposition aren't yet opposing anything because the leader isn't listening to his party, who aren't listening to the country, who aren't listening to experts or possibly paying that much attention at all. However, none of their opponents actually want to be the one to do the thing that the vote was about, so there's not yet anything actually on the table to oppose anyway.
And if no one ever does do the thing that most people asked them to do, it will be undemocratic and if anyone ever does do it, it will be awful.
Clear?

I'm pleased you got it, Jack, because I didn't really want to call you thick.:-)

That would have been rude.

You're welcome, Sibs. Have you read the Tim Dowling Guardian magazine article today? That's really amusing. It made me laugh out loud and that doesn't happen very often. :-)

Sibs must have gone off to read Tim Dowling and got engrossed in the rest of the magazine.
