Geopolitical impact of Brexit

[Hazir]

You mean like how we have been told that the EU is unreformable from the inside, yet we're still in demanding it changes to how we want it to be? Oh wait, no we've given up on that and are quitting ...

So I guess you mean like how we were told that the Four Freedoms of the Single Market are indivisible yet we're seeking still to divide them while staying in the Single Market? Oh no, we've ruled out staying in the Single Market ...

We're changing our situation to adapt to the fact you don't want to change, so your aggression is not explained by that. And since the aggression has only come from others since we decided to give up on your project rather than demanding it be changed to our liking any more then the opposite of what you're claiming is the truth.

Even if this is all true; why are we still waiting for notification?

Because you fail to see it as part of a broader trend of anti-expertise, anti-globalist nativism that's been embroiling the Western world, and to which Brexit provided renewed vigor. The problem was less the vote itself (dumb, but tolerable) than the tactics used by the Leave supporters, tactics that would be put to good use by the Trump and Cruz camps here, and now being adopted in Italy, the Netherlands, and much of East/Central Europe. Brexit was the nativist version of the Tunisian uprising.

Except it's completely different. Brexit won by convincing a majority of the population unlike to date any of those alternatives you named.

Brexit won with the support of many experts and many experts who were against it have already been proven wrong.

Which leads to the fact that the much maligned "anti expertise" quote was actually that people have ‘had enough of experts from organisations with acronyms saying that they know what is best and getting it consistently wrong’ a not unreasonable position.

Which was correct. https://www.spectator.co.uk/2017/01/...about-experts/

Even if this is all true; why are we still waiting for notification?

Because the Remain-supporting government resigned before triggering it?

Because Article 50 requires a nation's own constitutional requirements to be completed and those were only completed in recent days?

Because we had a court-case from people and devolved governments trying to stymie it being triggered?

Because Sturgeon chose the day of Article 50 legislation completing passage through Parliament to grandstand on her parties cause?

Because your politicians have asked us to wait until after the 60th anniversary of the Treaty of Rome?
