Two groups of people with entrenched, totally opposing views, who loath one another, presided over by a ‘leader’ without a shred of authority?
Do they actually loathe each other?
I believe that these off-site meetings between two groups with disparate interests are much like those I attend in private sector business.
It may be a day of hot air, tantrums and little real progress. But, in the evening everyone meets in the bar and chats, jokes and enjoys some nice food and wine. After all, it’s just work to them and whatever Brexit comes to pass, their work will continue. Of course, as you recognise, this is the real problem. None of the people making the decisions really care about the outcome – they’re too well insulated in either scenario!
