I had to check out question time.
@the dza I agree Fiona Bruce should have kept her bias under check better. I like her though and she'll improve, learn when to step in.
The other thing that struck me is the double standards of many broadcasters and politicians in this brexit popularist society. Of the question time pannel I'd guess only one voted Leave. So what happens is, these people have to 'pander to the masses', they feel they have to be fair and somehow court the popuarist sentiment and be a bit 'pro brexit'. This is true of our government too. And its a compromised position which leads to no good.
People are not able to call things as they are. Politicians are no longer trying to do whats best, but what they think they should for the third of the country that voted Leave. The outcome is stasis - as we see now in parliment. By trying to pander to (an irrational) Brexit all they do is bring about a stop to government work. It is also disengenious, and leads to a belief that brexit actually might offer something - when truth be told it does not. I find that deeply worrying. People have to be true to thier beliefs, and tell the truth, especially those in power. If it is clear to someone that the Brexit on the table offers essentially the same UK but with a wrose economy - in perpetuity not just short term - then isn't there a duty to explain why, and not tuck logic and truth away, in the name of popularism?
Instead of having a question time pannel of people who don't believe in Leave who pander to the masses, it would be cleaner and help to process brexit faster, to get more people on the pannel who are atually pro-Leave. Then have a frank and honest debate.
The compromised nature of politics now is deeply damaging imo. Leaders have to have the strength to lead, to impart vision, to stand up for what they think is right. If you had a Brexiteer in power for example, it may not go to plan, it may not work out, but we'd find out a lot sooner. The current balancing act is harming the UK, and the only way to resolve is for us to work through exactly what Brexit will entail with clarity and honesty.
