My view is that I have to vote for the blues.
Now that Brexit has been decided by the people (as they like to say), you need a strong leader to carry out the negotiations, with an overall majority so we don't get constant bickering and fighting in parliament. This would undermine the power the government has in any negotiations, and the EU would know it. You also can't keep asking the people what they think, it would be a bit like a CEO asking the shop floor workers what they would do, when in actual fact the perspective they view the decisions on is completely different from other 'stakeholders'.
Corbyn reminds me of a Grandad (no offence meant to any Grandad's on here
) who should be sitting in front of the telly nodding off in front of the Queen's speech taking it easy. The one with the imaginary friend is ruled out on the grounds that any leader that relies on an imaginary friend can't make their own decisions without asking for help from their friend, and that is bad.
Ms May can handle herself well in negotiations, she is a strong leader and has the right qualities to go through this process. Now we need to give her the support she needs to enable her to act in our best interests (collectively) and hope that she remains strong enough to ensure the EU accepts that the best deal for the UK is also the best deal for the EU.
The worse possible scenario would be a coalition between Labour and the Liberals. This is a real possibility if the tactical vote backfires. One of my friends, a life long Tory supporter reckons he is going to vote liberal this time around, and this is not the first time I've heard this.
But I don't see how the EU can work really, without throwing out the weakest countries. Trying to unify vastly different economies under one currency but leave their economic policies separate will never work. The only way to solve this is for EU countries to adopt common policies on taxes, health care and social security, meaning that the UK, if we remained in the EU, would have to have the EU decide on these policies. As would Scotland if they left the UK but joined the EU.....Someone else for Jimmy Cranky to complain about I suppose...
