[Margaret Pilkington]

Of course many politicians didn't want us to leave the EU.
They had good reasons to want us to stay...it means that if something is wrong they have an organisation(which is severely mistrusted by the General public) to blame. It means that they don't have to work hard formulating rules, regulations, laws by which we live.
It means that many of these politicians can jump on the EU gravy train when their careers in the POW is over..a lucrative future is almost guaranteed.

Of course the exit from the EU is made to look difficult. These people want us to believe that they have a role to play in this difficult process. A role that only they( the political elite) can undertake.
And, in the great scheme of things son, who do you think would do this process better?
We have the government we've got until the next election...who knows what will happen after that...?

The vote to leave the EU was a huge shock to our political elite. They really thought that we, the electorate would be cowed into believing that we would never survive outside of this nasty corrupt organisation
