Mr Speaker has had his say and it is revenge for failed ‘assassination’
There is nothing worse in politics than a failed assassination. Behind Brexit, it is simple to see the catastrophic consequence of former British prime minister David Cameron’s decision to roll the dice again, for a plebiscite on European Union membership, after a previously narrow escape on Scottish independence.
Another miscalculation looms almost as large, and that is Theresa May’s calling of a general election in June 2017, a year after Cameron’s disastrous referendum. The referendum was a fundamental mistake. An unnecessary election ensured that the consequences played out in the worst of all possible circumstances.
