Okay, I'll sit back now and keep watching.
Same here!
I am particularly enjoying the squirming and stringing out of excuses and hollow explanations made by incompetent government ministers about anything and everything from Northern Ireland borders in the sea and Scottish fish out of the sea and anything else that is going wrong.
On the other side, there are the spokes-people for incompetent supermarkets that watched this whole thing roll over them and did nothing about the absurd way they rely on 1001 different suppliers to deliver to their shops directly rather than having distribution centres and in-house bulk movements of goods.
But for the first time, we are hearing about the break-up of the UK and the fact that most young people in NI and Scotland support breaking away from England. We can expect those charming people from the DUP to be spouting their venom and banging on about "The Red Hand o'r Ulster!" - always a pleasing sound! At the same time, a motley collection of bloated Colonel Blimps from the Scottish Conservatives will be harrumphing about the betrayal of the Union.
Brexit will bring about the creation of the dUK - the dis-United Kingdom.
Without Scotland and NI, there will be a sizeable majority in Englandshire (GDP per capita £33k) supporting Brexit and England can sink into splendid isolation, whilst NI (GDP per capita £26k) joins the RoI (GDP per capita £67k) and Scotland (GDP per capita £35k) joins the EU (GDP per capita £32k). (All figures in ppp.)
The future is England on its own with Ireland and Scotland in the EU and using the €uro. The rising price of commodities including oil will probably persuade Scottish voters of the economic advantages of independence.
With a more competent government, England could indeed find a better future as a nation independent of the EU. BUT quite where and how such a government is to be found remains a clouded mystery. The Conservative Old Guard are, well, old. The Young Turks are showing themselves to be well below par and very far from being up to the job.
As for the absurd and hopelessly motley collection of what passes for an opposition and that peculiar piece of damp blotting paper leading it (I have seen mice with greater leadership qualities) they are the very epitome of everything that is wrong with the Westminster political system.
For a UK or a dUK to enjoy those sunny uplands of which we heard so much, the Westminster system needs radical reforms that encourage men and women of genuine ability. There is no doubt that England could succeed outside the EU, but to do that will require leadership that is the opposite of the qualities of such people as Johnson, Handcock, Williamson and Patel.
We are entering a new era in world politics - an era of governments everywhere without any effective opposition. This is true for democracies and dictatorships alike. This is dangerous and not being called to account weakens government.
Around Europe, oppositions look increasingly like one of the more extreme episodes of Monty Python and in Germany 'Die Partei' (their answer to Python's 'Silly Party') has even got two MEPs! Lord Bucket-Head, eat your heart out!
The latest recruit to oppositionless government will be the USA as Republicans retreat into various squabbling fractions of The Tea Party, Trumpian lunacy and the GOP-proper. Given the perilous state of the US economy (nearly $30tn public debt) that is hardly a good thing!
