Burning down the house

The best Brexit analogy I heard over the weekend is that voting for for the Conservatives because they will bring order to chaos is like voting for the people who set your house on fire. The Tories have been in sole power since May 2016, imagine what the country would look like after 5 more, and with a working majority?

Doesn't really be thinking about.

And then, think on this, the man behind the original idea of Brexit, is now being cast as a Brexit traitor. Yes, naughty Nigel is being pressured in standing down all his MPs in order to ensure a Conservative win so to ensure Brexit happens. In time, everyone becomes a traitor to Brexit. And Johnson should take heed, as he will have hundreds of MPs now signed up to delivering the very hardest Brexit of all, and if he were to veer away and Johnson could very easily be removed as PM, and replaced with someone like Raab.

God help us.

So we might end up with a more callous and corrupt Prime Minister than we have now, that panders to even more extreme right wing policies.

And there would be no no going back.

Not for a long while. They would have a majority, then gerrymander boundaries to ensure they could never be ousted, or just refuse to go, as Trump will next year or in four years time.

Whatever the outcome on Thursday, we, as a country, will deserve whatever the result brings, becasue, as a country, we have allowed it to happen. Accept that complicated issues and questions have simple answers, and have allowed those who know less about the issues to come up with the simple solutions. As DAG says in his recent blog, the problem is that many want to be lied to as the lies are what they want to hear.
