Parliament Should Take a Long Holiday - Until 30 March 2019

During the EU Referendum we were told, ad-nauseum, that the consequences of leaving the EU would be irredeemably catastrophic.  The people, whose decision would be respected by Parliament, voted to leave.  However, incensed by the affront to their monopoly of democratic process, Parliament (geared-up by the ghastly Gina Miller), highjacked the meaning of “leave the EU” and sanctimoniously set about correcting the aberration of the British electorate.  Such is the current confusion and political uncertainty that, whatever happens on 29 March 2019, it appears that the result will, indeed, be irredeemably catastrophic.  We deserve better of those who claim to represent us.

Since the first law of holes is to stop digging, maybe it is time for MPs to step back and take a long holiday, until March 30 next year?  When they return, they may be pleasantly surprised to find that the world has not ended and that, far from being irredeemably catastrophic, the blank piece of paper thus presented affords delightful prospects for the future?
