the British electorate are getting a bit jumpy about the real effect leaving will have
Are they? Where? I am not sure that many people give a stuff anymore, to be honest.
Oh yes, I am aware that sounds very cavalier, (I wait for the usual suspects to scold me, but I am replying to the quoted part of the post above) and I am sure that those businesses which need overseas markets will be wondering what we end up with, but the man or woman in the street?
On forums like this Brexit can be our focus and we are passionate and intense but certainly in my part of the world and amongst family, friends and acquaintances we are not having daily deep and meaningful discussions about the latest news from Brussels or number ten.
Like everyone, I want the very best deal possible for the UK.
However, the media and various factions for and against are keeping alive the cliff-hanging 'tension'. Just think - if we had a news blackout for a month or so, I get the feeling Brexit would NOT be the first topic of conversation on everyone's lips.
We'd be more worried about the POTUS's actions I suspect.
The world carries on turning and we will go about our daily lives in pretty much the same way as we are doing today. As ever, we are at the mercy of those we elect in situations such as this. I think many MPs say what the electorate needs to hear to garner favourable publicity, but in their dealings afterwards they'll play their own political games and be advised by people we know nothing about. Think House of Cards. The same is happening to May. She made promises. It remains to be seen if she will keep them.
