5. I think everyone is confused about UK politics, not least the leaders

The Tory PM is weak and nasty at the same time. The Labour leader of the Opposition is IMO (which not everyone here will agree with) is totally not up to it.

For some reason, though the Brexit vote was very close, and age demographics mean that, even if no one changes their mind, it will flip the other way in a few years, the leaders seem to have mostly adopted the idea that it is set in stone forever, and that it is anti-democratic to even seek to reverse or modify it. Worth noting that most of the Leave campaigners before the Referendum said that we'd be staying in the Single Market, and not all Leave voters voted for this sort of Hard Brexit that Mayhem seems to want to impose on us.
