The Not-Brexit: Excuses to watch out for over the coming days.

Okay, so we know know the stance that Theresa May is taking over Brexit. Instead of a complete break from Brussels she's trying to keep us in the customs union and single market.

Both of which add up to adherence to EU laws and by default staying under ECJ rulings. You can't have regulatory alignment without the EU making teh regulations and the ECJ enforcing compliance can you? So the primacy of EU law remains, whichever way you slice it.

So, how will the spin doctors spin this capitulation?

Expect over the coming days for those at the top to start talking about the 48% that voted leave. That the government has to respect the wishes of those that voted to remain. So there cannot be a hard Brexit because of them.

But just put the shoe on the other foot: what if the vote was 52% remain and 48% leave? Would leavers attract such generous consideration? Of course not. There could not be any be any such concession because the EU does not allow it.

Remember when David Cameron went to the EU and tried to get concessions on immigration? Remember how he was embarrasingly sent back with no deal, even though he threatened to hold the referendum? Remember how it was that humiliation that triggered the referendum?

The EU does not compromise. The EU does not accept any other way than it's own. It demands slavish acceptance. It is anti-democratic. It is authoritarian.

At it's inception, the EU was designed to be anti-democratic. It was designed thus because it knew the people of Europe would not accept the removal of their individual identity. Many wars have been fought in Europe over just such ideals, so the EU quashes that by not allowing the people of Europe a say in it's governance. Everyone at the top is appointed. Not a single person is voted into office. There is a Parliament that is voted in, but they do not have any power. They in effect rubber-stamp directives handed down by the unelected beaurocrats.

That's why 52% of us voted leave. 52%, a majority. The people that would have had no concessions had the vote gone the other way. We would have had to suck it up.

The Conservatives would have imploded and we would now have a Labour government willingly signing up to an EU Army, controlled by Brussels, signing up to EU scrutiny of our budgets and negotiations would have started on "harmonising" taxes (with a percentage syphoned off to the EU I'm sure).

The only reason the EU have slowed down on these issues is Brexit. They are waiting to see how the negotiations pan out and how much they can bitch-slap us for daring to even consider leaving. Pour Encourager les Autres.

Those Conservative MPs that support leaving the EU and are still in the Cabinet really need to look long and hard at what their party is doing. It is not following the wishes of the majority.

Democracy is not being served.
