  • Did a little reading up on the author of that piece who is apparently opposed to a GNU 'on deontological grounds' (for fucks actual sake).

    I also found this bit of the piece quite interesting:

    "A government of national unity identifies the whole nation with the part opposed to a no-deal Brexit. It not only ignores the will of the other part of the nation, inclined to leave the EU, and indeed leave by October 31st, but denies its claim to be part of the nation, even in name."

    This is straight out of the Steve Bannon playbook - accuse your enemy of what you yourself are doing. It wasn't Remainers going round telling Brexiters that they were 'the people' and 48% are citizens of nowhere, metropolitan liberal elites, saboteurs, traitors, etc. That approach has failed. I don't think a GNU will work either, but it's better than continuing with the same old rhetoric and hoping that something will turn up before the 31st Oct.

  • yes, and you'd have to argue that any GNU that contains Labour would actually be representing a good number of both leave and remain voters.
