But we were promised golden uplands and flying unicorns when we left during the referendum. It is only fair that those who have delivered it are held to account.
"Wait and see" appears to be a very poor second.
We were also told that Brexiteers wanted to kick out the nurses, people would be dropping dead in the streets when their insulin ran out and the UK was on a fast track to becoming a 3rd world country.
It's almost like many people just make up stuff that supports their own ideological agenda.
If you find it entertaining to partake in tit-for-tat point scoring on statements that were clearly not going to turn out to be true when they were made, fair enough.
You understand that something like this can only be judged in the long run though, and that demanding instant results is just part of the partisan games that increasingly replace rational discussion on contemporary political issues.
Stuff like increased democracy is very general - especially when our government refuses to be interviewed apart from by tame reporters.
Decentralisation - if it happens - will be good, as a northerner it is desperately needed. But as Whitehall controls our spending, and is holding up investment, it is certainly not happening yet.
If we want to trade with the EU we will have to meet their standards, we used to be able to influence those standards, now we just accept them or do not trade - a vassal state we have become.
If the EU moved in a political direction you didn't like, you might not see the power to hold it to account as being so trivial.
If decentralisation would be good, why do you also support centralisation via the EU?
If we want to trade with the EU we will have to meet their standards, we used to be able to influence those standards, now we just accept them or do not trade - a vassal state we have become.
If a win-win solution can't be agreed it's an inditement on both sides. Britain runs a massive trade deficit with the EU, if they choose to cut off their nose to spite their face there are at least some benefits to the UK.
No idea what the overall long-term effects would be though, but then again nobody else does either.
