No one was expecting Brexit . The ones that ' wanted ' it were largely just career politicians or attempting to stay relevant . The ones that won got landed with an impossible job and didn ' t want to be the ones holding the bag when all those ' expert opinions ' they ' d been telling everyone was fearmongering became fact . So they fucked off . Farage , for 20 years wanted to come out of the EU . Not even he had a clue on what to actually do , or what it entailed when he got what he wanted so he left his party and schmoozed up to the bigger fish eventually . He ' d have had a clue if he ' d actually turned up to the European Parliament as was his job , but as he didn ' t like the EU he mostly just spent years cashing cheques and not turning up . In the meantime he tried to get elected as a localBritish MP 7 times and failed each time if that sums up how popular he is . in his own town let alone nationally . So , the electorate are left holding the bag . And the inherited job of competing a job that even our current PM aknowledged as a bad idea while giving a talk prereferendum is left to that very PM in order not to divide her populace further she feels she has to complete a job because 26 % of our country were misled into making a fairly dumb decision that no one planned for . It ' s a giant fuck up orchestrated by an inept hypocritical little weasel of a man , who , somewhat sadly actually managed to achieve his life goal to the potential detriment of an entire country . And now he ' s on a rightwing jolly around the world to carry on . Edited some terrible spelling
