In a quaint rural town in Britain the populace voted in a referendum about what to do about the town's horse mascot. The referendum offered two choices: keep the current (healthy but a bit boring) horse, or get a new and exciting unicorn — majestic, magical, sparkly! A tiny majority believed the unicorny promises, and voted for the unicorn in 2016. After three years of mucking about, it turns out that the best the town council can get is either a very old and haggard pony with an inflatable novelty unicorn horn (Johnson's deal), or the rotting cadaver of a dead horse with a carrot glued on its head (no-deal Brexit). Obviously, one of these two must happen, because the people voted for it. Keeping the perfectly serviceable horse they have now is not an option, because democracy has spoken, and changing your mind is not allowed (because democracy). Granted, as a European I may be a bit cynical about this mess. |
