That is a good picture to think of Ammi,yes get back to basics.

Which is what no matter for who voted remain or leave, is what I hoped for, a govt. that would actually seek to heal divisions by bringing together all who campaigned and then work together to find the as near right consensus to go forward with the leaving of the EU.
A back to basics attitude and treat this issue as the truly wholly national issue it is.

Instead what the PM and the leading figures in govt have done is fuel the divisions among the people who voted on either side, also however caused major divisions with all political parties and MPs, even many of their own in the Conservative party too.

The UK and parliament now seem to be heading to be even more divided than they were on the surface before the referendum,that has to be down to the way the govt has itself chosen to exclude too many that should have been involved all through the process.
A big mess and all really sad too at such a great opportunity missed to heal divisions rather than open them up more.
