maybe it's unrealistic that political journalists should have some insight of the subject matter beyond that of a politics student
(similarly: their recently retired stock-picking columnist revealed he'd never traded a stock)
- disgruntledphd2 3y agoDid you expect any of those things? Like I followed the process religiously and I kept being surprised by the sheer insanity of all the UK government decisions.
- blibble 3y agoyes, I successfully predicted all of the above from June 24th 2016: a hard exit with a fudge on the NI border was the only path that kept the tory party in one piece and the tory party has always prioritised that over everything else remember: it's the only reason they called a referendum in the first place the only way it would have gone differently would have been if Labour had a leader other than Corbyn having him as the opposition guaranteed it would happen (because Middle England hated the idea of Corbyn in power more than they hated brexit)
- disgruntledphd2 3y agoI mean no disrespect, but that seems very unlikely. Like, the Tory party didn't remain in one piece, they expelled a bunch of people and are almost unrecognisable from the people in power in 2016. Any chance you have comments here or elsewhere supporting your predictions?
- scott_w 3y agoThey didn’t split. By that metric, they’re still in one piece and that’s the only metric those in the party care about right now.
