VOTERS in Wirral will be justified in wondering whether Parliament's failure to deliver Brexit is down to conspiracy or just bungling incompetence.
Perhaps it's a bit of both.
After all, it was Lib/Dem, Labour, Conservative and Green MPs who in gay abandon voted to have a referendum in 2016 even though a Press Association survey of the time revealed that 480 out of the 650 MPs were proEU.
So perhaps the last three years of dithering, defeats, grandstanding and botched proposals, accompanied by non-stop EU flag-waving and 24-hour bad news courtesy of Project Fear Mark II are all part of a cunning plan orchestrated by the powers that be to convince the public that leaving the EU is too difficult, that our quest for independence is just not worth the bother and that Brexit is a failure even though we haven't actually experienced being outside the EU yet.
The only way to settle the nationwide argument is to suck it and see.
The nation has experienced 46 years of EU membership and decided in 2016 to try something new.
What of it?
Nothing lasts forever.
David Green, Southport.
