Does anyone else think the situation is completely fecked? If it wasn't so absurd, it would almost be funny.
We're meant to be negotiating Brexit starting next week. It's going to take 2-5 years. We have a ridiculously weak and wobbly conservative party gunning for a hard Brexit. They're planning to attach themselves to an even further right-wing, climate change denying, anti-abortion, anti-LGBT rights, eurosceptic party who just happen to, right now, actually want a soft Brexit.
The rest of the main parties; Labour, SNP, Lib Dems, Greens, Plaid Cymru, want varying degrees of soft Brexit or no Brexit. They all want access to the Single Market and aren't too bothered about freedom of movement.
There is little chance that Theresa May will last 2 years, let alone 5. There is only a slightly greater chance that the DUP-Tory coalition/Tory minority government will last either.
And therefore there is a non-small chance that mid-way through negotiating Brexit, what the UK wants could drastically change.
Millions of pounds wasted, years of uncertainty.
What a mess.
