It is pointless for these to continue. This blog advocated reaching across the House from the very beginning, but in doing so failed to understand the extent of the multiple interpretations of what an ideal Brexit means and the passion with which the multiple alternatives are championed by warring factions which cross party lines. Add to that the faulty DNA in the English Body Politic which makes consensus on major issues unachievable and you enter a twilight world which is now our political reality, in which governance is in a state of permanent dysfunction.
This now goes far beyond Brexit. We have to have major political reform. There must be a proportional voting system for Westminster, similar to Holyrood or the EU elections, properly defined executive powers for the prime minister, a political Head of State who can intervene in a crisis and a natural switch to smaller parties which form coalitions after election, rather than big ones which hide fractious and opposed groupings within their ranks, crippling their ability to deliver.
If the Union is to survive, there must be a separate parliament for England with a government and First Minister and a UK Parliament for the Union with a separate federal government and Prime Minister of the UK. The capital of the UK should remain London, but the government for England should move to somewhere like York.
But do not prepare for change, however obvious, because the current political class is utterly incompetent and unable to get its collective head around any of it. Just listen to anyone of them anywhere at any time.
