Uncertainty calls for second EU vote

TO B, or not to B, that is the question. Is it now for, or against, Brexit? I’m sure the man in the street, and I’m one of them, doesn’t really know. To add insult to injury, neither do many members of Government!

Coming out of the woodwork at Westminster is a cabinet with creaking joints which is more like an old war chest. MPs keep trying to saw sawdust, and, at Prime Minister’s Questions, have infighting and noise levels worse than at a school playground.

When Cameron, in my opinion, wrongly, went to the country, everyone was asked to vote. Do we stay in the EU or go with Brexit?

Among friends, “Who are you voting for?” was the popular question. Many replied: “I don’t really know.” Now the man in the street isn’t much wiser, but many do want to change their original vote!

The Commons will, no doubt, have further furious debates up to next year’s D-Day on May 19, when Brexit’s supposed to take centre stage, and the curtain finally falls upon the EU. Part of the wedding vows may apply to Brexit – “for better, or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health” etc.

No one can know what the future holds, be it Brexit or the EU, so maybe better the devil you know?

The Government often struggles to make decisions, but in my opinion, in this case, Cameron as Prime Minister, paid to govern, should have done so.

Now, when the country has been able to at least digest half the facts, let’s have another referendum. Even if the tables are turned, will the man in the street really be any wiser?

Or maybe that’s a matter of debate!
