A sad day indeed, and - as predicted widely - there is not a substantial upside to Brexit in sight. Following UK politics, it is hard to avoid the conclusion that the country is being held hostage by a Conservative (and Unionist, hah) party: past governments have been singularly focused on keeping the party in power and the country be damned. But this is not all: I think Brexit could have been much less destructive if it were not for the remarkable incompetence of and rash decision making of the last few governments. It has been fascinating to see a country play its hand so immensely badly, even more so because the hand did not even need to be played.
