I think the whole mess with Brexit stemmed from the confusion about what it meant. Slogans like 'Brexit means brexit' etc did not really throw much light on the complexities. At the end, many people had their own interpretation of what was in the countries best interest etc etc. A tedious, waste of time and energy, in my opinion, and a very low point for this country.PR might not have helped in this matter, who knows. But a Tory party completely split and a Tory government being propped up by the Ulster Unionists (God help us) did no-one any favours either.It's easy to say 'people should accept the decision', but with all the lies, and poverty of debate, no one knew what had been decided. It stands as an example of how not to hold a referendum or have a national debate.Yes, regarding immigration and the economy, I agree, these matters should be dealt with competently and without undue delay. Ideally, without endless empty gestures like Rwanda, getting rid of the ECHR, gunboats in the Channel etc etc.
