COMMENTARY
BREXIT has pluses and minuses. The greatest pluses are that the UK can gain a competitive advantage by being the bastion of free trade.
We in the Commonwealth would love that. We’d open our markets to British companies, to your farmers, your car makers, your whisky distilleries and your finance companies. And we’d provide British consumers with plentiful cheap, high-quality goods and services to enhance their living standards.
I’m depressed. Your parliament isn’t going to allow it.
The British people voted to leave the EU but two-thirds of the parliament didn’t agree with the people’s decision.
Dozens of clever and cunning ploys are being used to defy the will of the people. Let’s face it. At best the parliament will vote to leave the political structures of the EU but remain in its economic structures.
At worst, they will organise another referendum but this time give EU citizens living in the UK the vote and allow children between
16 and 18 to vote even though they can’t vote in
British elections.
The plan? To get Brexit cancelled.
Well, you can cancel Brexit if you like.
But if you do, you’ll keep your best mates in the world – the Aussies – out in the cold where you’ve kicked us for the past 40 years.
