On the 23rd June 2016 the country made the decision to leave the EU.
This decision came after months of campaigning from leavers and remainers. when I say campaigning I actually mean months of "promises" "commitments" and even "scaremongering" "misinformation".
The result stands and the commitment from the government is to deliver A brexit, but will it be the brexit that we all thought it would be?
There are some things that we should be mindful of
1st, its not going to happen overnight.
2nd many of those involved in the delivery of government services including brexit were not in the leave campaign
3rd many of the things that interpreted as "promised" were nothing more than speculative suggestions
It seems the big clash of last week (clash depends on whether you are using sky news or bbc news) was the points scheme for entry. My view is Theresa May is not only within her rights to question this method but it is also a duty of hers to have the issue clear in her own mind and clear to everyone else.
Throughout the months of the campaign and since it has become more and more apparent that both sides made suggestions as to how to improve issues such as immigration. at what point did we vote for a points systems, we voted in or out. We need a good solid procedure in place with robust assessments but we should never lose the ability for human intervention. AND it must be simple to understand for everyone. We have to be able to control our borders with common sense and that may or may not be a points system but it musty be a system that creates a defendable result or decision.
This vote was not an election to power it was a decision to leave the EU and many of the details involved have still not been found, we must tread carefully but quickly to ensure Brexit happens and the UK is not disenfranchised in or by the process, uncertainty is the killer for investment and business.
There will be more about Brexit for the next few year we need to make sure politicans don't get distracted
