Climbdown...

David Cameron won the election in May 2015, and has fallen on his sword. Jeremy Corbyn was voted in with a big majority as Labour leader, but is now suffering the death of a thousand cuts. The next Prime Minister has to contemplate the possibility that his or her term of office will be entirely taken up with disentangling the UK from the EU. We're looking at years of uncertainty and muddle.

I can't see it happening, and I don't feel that the majority of people in the country want it to happen either. The referendum should never have taken place, and a lot of people have been misled about the consequences of voting 'Leave'. I don't think we will leave Europe. It may require a humiliating climbdown, brought about by a second referendum, or a Scottish veto, or a renegotiation of the terms of EU membership (or associate membership)... or some other byzantine political machination...
