I find it astonishing that the "Conservative" party has exposed itself to a huge level of political risk by becoming the "Brexit / English Nationalist" Party and implementing such a hard Brexit. When the impact of Brexit on daily lives and the fact that most / all of the promises made during the referendum won't be realised there must be a risk of a huge backlash. They have a large majority at the moment but there are definite signs of cracks appearing. Short term political gain vs long term risk.
