And now he has resigned as PM , or so he has told you, But he ain't resigned , because he is still the PM until Oct so he says ,and will he go then ? What sort of damage can he do to the UK between now and OCT ,,, He ain't gone yet
//Because the UK government is seeking to do away with the NI Protocol via the Northern Ireland Protocol Bill despite having agreed it three years ago.//
But that’s what normal governments (i.e. non-EU ones) are supposed to do – take decisions that are in the best interests of the country they govern. All treaties are subject to be rescinded if one or other of the parties no longer believe it is suitable. None is irreversible.
//Brexit was so vague that voters couldn't really understand what they were voting for…//
You underestimate the electorate - something which many politicians have done to their cost. It could not have been more clear. It aimed to end the UK’s membership of the European Union. It is patently obvious that some rather less inflexible arrangements would be necessary to facilitate trade and commerce between the UK and the 27 EU nations since so much trade passes between them. But none must involve being subject to the principle conditions that membership requires. I knew exactly what I was voting for and had been looking forward to the opportunity for over 25 years. I knew exactly what membership entailed and had a very good idea what our leaving would mean. I’ve not been surprised by anything that has taken place in the last six years with one exception: I did not expect UK politicians and civil servants to try so hard to thwart the result of the referendum, principally by muddying the waters (as you have sought to do) by suggesting there are various “grades” of Brexit. I expected them to accept the result and to do their best to secure a sensible agreement with the EU over the terms of our departure, or if that was not possible, to facilitate our departure with no “deal” at all.
I view the Northern Ireland Protocol as a temporary measure put in place to facilitate our departure, made necessary because the EU would not countenance any more sensible arrangements. It clearly cannot remain in place ad infinitum and since the EU shows no inclination towards discussing anything more sensible the only real option is to ditch it in its entirety, and the sooner the better. The EU needs to grasp the reality that this country is no longer under its pernicious influence.
//Maybe I imagined the various types of Brexit there were.//
Yes you did because most of the alternatives put forward (membership of the EEA, remaining in the Single Market and/or Customs Union, etc.) were simply different versions of remaining in the EU to a greater or lesser degree. The idea of Brexit was simple – to leave the European Union. And we’ve left.
