The most depressing thing about Brexit debate is that two years since the start of the Brexit referendum the same arguments are just being repeated over and over again. Brexiters have no viable plan to make Hard Brexit work, Remainers have no viable plan to make Return possible.
Brexit UK resembles nothing more than an overturned car with its wheels spinning in the air whose drivers and passengers still haven't noticed that all forward motion has become impossible
The absurdity of the millions of words, the tons of newsprint, the infinite amount of online time spent in the UK debating desirable Brexit outcomes when in reality the UK's economic and political future will be determined by the EU27.
A UK that remains fully integrated economically yet is no longer able to block EU decisionmaking at a crucial moment for European integration is ideal for the EU. In opting for a transition model that will have to be extended several times over the UK has chosen exactly that fate
When Theresa May declared in September 2017 that Britain required a transition in a timeframe that will require repeated extensions she put the UK on an inevitable path to endless transition where it loses what control it has left to avoid disrupting the everyday life of voters
We will spend the next year, probably the next decade, debating ideal Brexit outcomes while ignoring a more mundane reality in which the UK cannot move towards the supposed utopia of Hard Brexit and cannot move back to full EU status. Brexit means paralysis.
But hey, it's more fun debating dystopias and utopias than facing up to how pointless the Brexit process has become.
