The Day the Political Class declared war on democracy

I really can’t improve on Allister Heath in the Telegraph this morning.

He believes, as I do, that the Remainer political and patrician elites are ready to overturn democracy itself to get their own way. His opening and final paragraphs -

At moments like this, when democracy is being traduced, it is easy to be angry, to rage or to fulminate. I’ve been prone to such emotions myself over the past few years. Today, I’m merely grief-stricken: sad, but no longer furious….

Yet today, this wonderful political tradition is in jeopardy. Thanks to the sabotage of Brexit by the Remainers entrusted to deliver it, the majority of the political class is declaring war on all Brexiteers and all democrats. I can think of no greater tragedy.

It’s all falling apart quite quickly now. May doesn’t even enjoy control of her own cabinet any more – ministers, and Hammond, can simply defy her as they wish. I doubt the EU Council on the 21st will grant or require a long extension – they want to isolate the infection, not encourage an epidemic of democracy. Nor I think will they now grant even a short extension – 29th March will be the day.

So my view remains as yesterday’s post – the anti-democrats can now only either revoke Article 50 altogether, which I think there is a 50/50 chance of happening, or between the 22nd and 28th they swallow the Selmayr-Robbins treaty.
