Are British Conservatives Insane?

They hate the EU!  They love the UK!  

There was a referendum a few years ago designed to put Conservative Euro-sceptics in their place - the sceptics won. 

Since then, we have seen one British Conservative PM resign, and another call a disastrous election; called in the hopes of securing an unquestioned mandate to return Britain to her former glory by leaving the EU. She has a minority government now.

If the UK leaves the EU, it may no longer be the UK as Scotland, which voted to stay in the UK a few years ago, does not share the English Conservatives enthusiasm for Britain, circa 1923. Scottish Nationalists are salivating at the prospects. Is Sean Connery too old to be King?!

Northern Ireland would be in a pretty pickle, as it would share a border with Ireland which will stay in the EU. Ah yes, Ireland...have there ever been political problems there?

And Wales? No one knows.

No one thinks the UK economy will do better without unfettered access to Europe. If there is an economic argument, it is based on myth and spin.

Still, they keep calm and carry on! 

Today, the Primer Minister and leader of the Brit Cons, whose leadership is opposed by 1/3 of Conservative MPs, will say that nothing is more dangerous to democracy than a second referendum! For goodness sake, do not ask the people! Then again, she can't ask Parliament, as she would obviously lose!

She has a point about calling referendums - look at the chaos that the first one wrought!

I have to think this is a life or death exercise for these politicians - will the Conservative Party even exist in five years?
