Buyer’s Remorse In Brexit Britain: The Sequel

With the Conservatives given a hiding yesterday, what’s next?

I had written of a change in the prevailing mood in North Shropshire a few days ago, as a result of the profound consequence in voting for Brexit and the revelation that the government had contravened its own lockdown rules.

Using middle-England as a microcosm, there was the distinct impression that there was a bit of buyer’s remorse from the population from having their lives turned upside down in 2021.

There were understandably a few sceptics, who thought it was wishful thinking that the British people had realized the errors of their ways in voting for breaking away from the European Union.

A few of the messages embedded to this post said this much:

Even among the Conservatives, they seriously thought that it was inconceivable that they would lose the by-elections in which their main opponent was anti-Brexiter.

Lucy Allan’s tweet did say this much.
