Dangerous Dave called the referendum with the arrogance that a victory for Remain was definitely in the bag. He probably thought that when he achieved this, he would go down as a Tory God, the only leader to successfully slay that beast that is the famous Tory rift over Europe that has claimed the scalps of leaders before him.
What that ignorant bafoon, and many of his Eton educated elitist chums failed to realise (and Continue to by the way) was that the world has changed significantly since the financial crash. The voiceless are now being heard, the result is Trump, Corbyn, Brexit, even the rise of discount supermarkets.
Dave had no plan because he was so cock sure of a victory. What kind of a Prime Minister risks the future of the country like that for his own career without a plan? His solution when it became apparent he'd done all this? Run for the hills and leave the crap for someone else to clear up. How responsible and statesman like of him.
When parliament voted to trigger article 50, the government should have simply written to the EU with the UK default position which should have been preparing for a no deal scanario. Isn't that what we elect them to do, to plan for worse case scanarios for us and protect us?
Something along the lines of "Dear EU. We will be leaving on 29th March 2019, we won't be putting any tarrifs on your goods, we hope you will reciprocate. All EU nationals residing here will be granted permanent residency and Northern Ireland will remain in the customs Union to prevent a hard border (bearing in mind there was no DUP to worry about back then). You know where we are if you want to discuss anything." We then could have spent 2 years signing trade deals and preparing for Brexit whilst the EU leaders, panicking about a domino effect and car manufacturing jobs in France and Germany would have ran to us with all sorts of generous offers whilst we would have been left with much better options.
But we all know that didn't happen.
