Brexit epiphany

I was reading a long and wordy, but important blog post on Brexit today, and I realised something.

That, the UK has the Brexit that May, the Brexiteers, the DUp and May's red lines have defined.

In trying to accommodate all those, UK gets to this WA, the "deal", that satisfies no one, and angers everyone.

So, given that the EU has negotiated the Brexit the UK wanted, if not by expressing in those words, but as a result of the A50 notification, May's speeches and her Red Lines, and requesting the NO only backstop be expanded to take on the rest of Britain. We have Brexit.

Take it or leave it.

And as each person wanted something different from Brexit, the Brexit that is on offer is one that few wanted.

So, take it or leave it?

So, today, Barnier said, simply, that if the UK wanted, Britain could opt out of the backstop, but NI would still have to be subject to it.

Cue the DUP angry at the UK -wide backstop, even angier with an NI only backstop.

Well, Sammy, take it or leave it?

This is the Brexit DD, Raab, May has negotiated, and now that you have it, it is not wanted.

So, take it or leave it?

What choice did the EU have, in trying to pin the UK down to something, anything. So, both DD and Raab negotiated first the draft then the full WA. Cabinet, the DUp and Parliament signed it off.

So, why reject it now? Did they not know what they agreed to?

There is just 21 days to go, time is almost out for an extension, and then there is just three choices: deal, no deal or no brexit.

Simples.

See, fixed it for you, Maybot.

I suppose my point being here, is that the Brexiteers got the Brexit they wanted. They pressed May to accept and push red lines that they wanted, and now they got what they said they wanted, they reject it. Had a hardline Brexiteer been PM, they wouldn't have done much differently.
