    On the contrary Milli. Brexit is one of the most interesting times in modern politics.

    Other EU countries appear to have a lot of discontent.

    Is it a sign of the times that authority is out of touch with the majority?

    You're right CL, it's fascinating to watch whether you view it with delight or despair. "May you live in interesting times" is normally said to be a curse.

    It's wearing a bit thin though now. Can you imagine a transition of up to 4 years under May's WA?

    Four more posts would be bad enough

    I’m in the possibly unique position for me of agreeing with both Christopher and Graham. Brexit is fascinating; the defining event politically I suspect of many of our lives. Reading about it on a fellrunners forum is not sadly

    But if it has brought about such a meeting of minds maybe in years to come people will say "Ah Brexit. It really was a force for good".😁

    Interesting that the seven MPs who have quit the Labour Party this morning are refusing to trigger by-elections in their constituencies. All favour a second EU referendum on the grounds they say that the people aren't getting what they thought they were voting for in 2016. The seven MPs were elected at the 2017 General Election as representatives of the Labour party but now they no longer are. Surely using their rationale for a second referendum they should be going back to the people. How do they square these rather contradictory views I wonder.

    Not so keen on a "People's vote" now are they.

    This was the best comment I've seen today.
