Brexit: What is missing?
People’s intention in regard to Brexit is missed. By analysing the last three general elections, it can be confirmed. In 2010, people were looking for an alternative to the Labour Party but were unsure which was better to replace with. The result was a hung parliament. People wanted to find a better party/leader for the country. Parties were in the run to show their capabilities. The Conservative Party was successful in demonstrating the ability to run the country.
The result of the general election 2015 was a great learning for many, but mainly for the Torys. Despite David Cameron’s united feeling from the Scottish Referendum, people wanted to leave the Europen Union in 2016. Taking note of success in the general election 2015, Teresa May wanted to have a snap election to make the exit process easy and smooth.
However, people wanted the leaders to listen to the people in the minority, too. In the general election of 2017, the result was a hung parliament. If we try to understand people’s intentions – it is clear.
I would make decisions for the national interest by listening to the people in the minority too. If needed, I would go to the public again. The issue is not limited to the leader and party but beyond the party politics.
I have learned that understanding one side of a story is a lot easier — which often misleads the situation — than multiple sides of the same (often complex) story.
