“Those voters do not want to have a conversation about Brexit,” said Joshua Simons, the director of Labour Together, a think-tank close to Labour leadership. How dare they prioritise one group of voters over all others?
Ellwood thinks that the election will bring release and hope: “I can see all parties embracing the idea of rejoining the single market… I put money on it that it happens in the next five years.” After so many years of Brexit thought compliance, will this country be in a fit state to take such big steps? I don’t think so.

Gotta be honest, I was as pro-remain as they came, but even I've grown tired of talking about it.
I'm still fucking furious, personally.
I've become politically fatigued in general.
I'm dreading the next election cycle. It got so bad that I ultimately decided to get off of twitter last year. Too much politics can be a bad thing, especially for one's mental health.
I agree. I hate that I'm not as informed as I used to be, but switching off from the news and current affairs really has made me happier. Ignorance truly is bliss.
