Complacency rules, OK?

So why are the people not revolting over that state of the Brexit negotiations?  The Guardian suggests:

Before heading off for his summer break Mark Carney said the risks of a no-deal Brexit were uncomfortably high. Last week Philip Hammond warned the Treasury would take an £80bn hit if negotiations between Britain and the EU failed completely.

There is a risk to this latest manifestation of Project Fear. If the public really thinks that in eight months’ time Britain is going to be plunged into the economic equivalent of a nuclear winter, the economy will take a serious hit.

So far, though, people seem relatively relaxed and haven’t spent the bank holiday weekend stripping supermarket shelves of baked beans and bottled water. While opinion polls show that voters think – rightly – that the government is making a pig’s ear of the Brexit negotiations, the state of the economy suggests they are taking what Carney and Hammond say with a pinch of salt.

If the people seem relaxed, it is more than likely because of the sheer complexity of the issues associated with Brexit.   Even nerds like me find it hard enough to keep up with the state of play.  I suspect that, for most, the question has become a complete turn-off.

The one thing of which I am certain is that - whatever the outcome - it will end in tears ...
