Everyone understands the EU, except itself

The Brexit vote left us without the commanding structures of the EU to govern over our lives.

Its reach was more extensive than law, and reached into our daily lives by its mode of regulation.

It had a remit far beyond the reasonably set back nature of Parliament for us.

While our regulators may take days out, the EU’s do not, and they worked away on us for decades.

The self-awareness a Union needs was not present in the EU for a long time.

Its structures were deaf to our calls, and to our cries for change.

It didn’t heed a need for relief from some of its punitive measures.

It laid wreck to some farming and made ruin of some other industries. It made a joke out of our schools and interfered in our Universities.

It proved there’s a problem if we’re not aligned on common interests.

Now, we may see its negative effects and have cause to criticise it. It’s also now possible to raise our towns and cities up from their sea beds to be restored to health.

They can live again as places worth having special status as local areas for local communities.

This is the focus we get to have because we’re not guided by a providing hand that’s closed to us.
