“There are always choices,…”
Are there?
Let’s keep it simple and just consider just one of my requirements at a time (because I realise all my wishes cannot be accommodated).
I’d like a government that will achieve a proper Brexit – nothing complex, just one that will see us regain control of our borders, money, trade and laws (i.e. just like any normal country). Who do I vote for?
I’d like a government that will cut public spending, reduce borrowing to zero or thereabouts and prepare a budget that will enable the country to live within its means. Who do I vote for?
I’d like a government that will stop handing over my hard earned cash to foreigners. Who do I vote for?
I’d like a government that will put the interests of the UK first, middle and last before considering those of other nations. Who do I vote for?
These are not outrageous demands. They do not involve trampling on the rights of others or causing them harm. But for any single one of them (let alone all of them) there is no party in the UK that is capable of forming a government for whom I can vote to see my wishes fulfilled. So who do I vote for?
