    Kind of misses the point, UK is focused on trying to fix the shit show that is Westminster and Whitehall, the very people who pinned the blame for everything on the EU for 40 years after unilaterally signing us up for their own business interests. EU is not our concern right now, we have bigger problems.

      Does this have to be mutually exclusive?

      My impression is that Westminster is a bunch of people putting on a show, wilst the unaccountable beaurocrates were actually passing laws that mattered and benefited the people.

      Its like a division of labour. If Westminster isn’t interested in governing, only grandstanding, why not rejoin?

        Because it just adds extra layers to the problem that will be abused by those in power to make themselves untouchable. That and Brussels isn’t exactly a saint itself, we need better government that is accountable to the people, not edicts handed down from on high. Its also worth noting pretty much everything good the EU did for us the UK was already working towards for itself anyway, all we really lost was a say in what goes on, which given how consistently we were ignored at that level, we didn’t really have anyway.
