    Brexit, for once some facts.

    A lot I agree with, or at least understand. But what is a government without a program? It is failing to govern. A government that can't govern has to go. Yes, the brexit circumstance is exceptional. That is why a two-year parliamentary session was accepted. But to go beyond that is not...
