Outside view. Tell me where I am wrong for my own education.
From the US it seems the people were misinformed about why and how to break away from the EU and voted for it by paper thin margins.
Seems the politicians know what a bad decision it is to leave and can’t agree how to do it.
If this is a high level overview my question is why did they let the people vote? And why not make them vote again?
A side question. What do you guys over there think of Trump?
You have your own big problems. Are they still in deadlock with Trump and his wall?
It was in the Conservative governments election manifesto which David Cameron committed the Tories to - partly to try and fight off the increased popularity of UKIP but the out of touch MP’s of all parties simply assumed everyone would vote to remain - oh dear .Outside view.

Completely agree .I think we're underestimating the PM. She knows this is a no win situation (why else have the brexiteers scuttled undergound and labour not been more vocal with alternatives rather than just giving lip service to objecting to everything).
Her entire period as PM was always going to be dominated by Brexit and would alienate more people than the poll tax managed. She's not stupid and is taking one for the team.

Growing up you had belief and confidence in the offices of state and government and genuine political personalities of stature on all sides , regardless of our own individual beliefs .I once thought Cameron was going to be a good PM but he showed how to completely misjudge the British public like no-one thought possible. His ego brought us to this place.
So we now have a situation which will tear the country apart whichever way it ends up going. We leave and the union will be dismantled. How long before indyref2 comes along? We remain and 52% of the voting public will feel betrayed. God only knows where either route will take us.

If she's taking one for the team what is she actually trying to achieve? She's been a dead woman walking since she called a general election to increase her majority and proceeded to lose it - so why hasn't she made any progress in two years?
She is the most incompetent PM we've ever had.
I can think of one or two that can fill that role better for a multitude of reasons regardless of personal politics, and they didn't have the complexities of brexit to deal with.
