Three word slogan

Brexit means Brexit.

Make Brexit work.

Two slogans from the last ten years.

As Prime Minister May had not defined what Brexit was, she was reduced to this mantra: Brexit mean Brexit.

Although just 37% of the population voted for Brexit, or answered this question (2):

Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the European Union or leave the European Union? The responses were:

1) Remain a member of the European Union

2) Leave the European Union.

But there was no actual indication what what this meant. Many Brexiteers ruled out leaving the SM and/or the CU, due to the economic hit the UK economy would suffer. And yet leave the SM and CU the UK did, as part of Johnson's "oven ready deal" with which he won the 2019 General Election.

But even with details clarified, the economic impact of these meant many measures were kicked into the long grass for years. Some still sit there.

Make Brexit work.

This is another mantra that politicians from all parties say. Without detailing what it means.

Brexit is what is holding the UK economy back, and stifling growth, and yet although this is now the thought behind dozens of opinion polls of UK voters, no party, except the LibDems, will suggest doing anything about it.

In fact, Labour and the Conservatives are veering more right, with the latter suggesting that it will revoke millions of visas and settled statuses to send anyone ot born of UK who has claimed any kind of benefit, even state pension, or earns less than £39k a year.

This will break up millions of familes, and destroy many industries, or cause them to struggle further. Such repatration goes further than any other country has ever gone, including Trump in the US and Idi Amin in Uganda. This is now so normalised that there's barely a ripple of discontent.

Finally, the EU has no real desire to make Brexit work.

The status quo suits it and its members fine. Any softening of Brexit might make other states think twice about leaving. There might be some technical changes in some or many sectors, but Brexit will remain Brexit, and will reman so until the UK has a conversation and the impacts that referendum has caused.
