An essay of the imagination.

The Prime Minister of the United Kingdsom addresses the nation.

Good evening,

It is my decision, supported by my ministers and those of a similar mind within Parliament notwithstanding 

our oaths of allegiance to The Queen, her heirs and successors, to subordinate Her Majesty's role of Head of

State, together with Parliament itself to the unfluence and control of a power-driven political entity based in a

foreign city that will have jurisdiction over our laws, customs, trade and sundry matters of governance of

this United Kingdom and its territorial waters.  Do you agree with this decision?  Please contact your local MP with your agreement or otherwise within 72 hours of this address to the nation."

Now, supposing this fictious address from the PM had actually occurred, does anyone seriously believe the

intention would have obtained public approval?  But that surely is at the heart of the current Brexit debate.

No rhyme or reason to be found here!
