Hopes High For A Drawback
Is Brexit still real?
It was like in a really surrealistic dream:
On that decisive Friday when I heard what the people of GB had done to us all, I felt like someone very dear had passed away. Lethargical, and later really angry, I could not believe the thing that happened the day before.
Now, two weeks later, it does not seem unlikely for the Brits to actually not leave the EU after all.
Johnson’s and Farage’s drawbacks are not perceived kindly amongst the political community and rightly so as they now leave it to others to sort out a mess that they have caused. And the “Exit from Brexit”-Camp (Spiegel Online) seems to be organising itself rather rapidly:
The German Spiegel listed three of their very valid arguments, the first of them being the Leave camp deceived the public e.g. by spreading not well-grounded information about the amount of money paid to the EU. Moreover, they claim that it was evident some people would not have voted “Leave” if they had been better informed about the consequences and that thousands are drawing back their decisions now. Spiegel says their argument is that with such a close outcome it would be undemocratic to actually go through with a Brexit when so many people are changing their minds. Their third argument is that it was more of a party prestige move by David Cameron and not one for the common good. The Cambridge Professor Philip Allott even suggests the referendum being unlawful and if put on trial, not able to withstand a judicial investigation.
After all the referendum only has an advisory function and it is not at all sure if Britain is going to go through with it.
So hopes high, folks!
Maybe it was all just a bad dream after all.
