They said Brexit was the most important issue since the war. It should have been handled the same way.
It’s not getting resolved because
- referenda are a tool of direct democracy where we have a representative indirect democracy
- our political system is geared around the left/right axis of the political compass whilst Brexit is an authoritarian / liberal issue.
Trying to ram a square peg into a round hole x 2 was never going to work.
A non standard issue needs handling with a non standard process.
