Theresa May's Centrist Conspiracy to Undermine Brexit

• https://www.nationalreview.com, By John O'Sull

Consider, first, the essential choice on Brexit facing the Brits and how it's being presented to them. Britain voted two years ago to leave the European Union. Both parties then fought a general election on manifestos that promised to implement that decision. That's not what's happening now. Instead, May, supported and imitated by most of her ministers, is engaged in a vast centrist conspiracy to keep Britain inside the European Union while pretending to expedite its departure.

Demonstrating how the trick is done, however, is not easy for two reasons:

First, it's what used to be called an open conspiracy. It conducts its debates in public and its membership includes most of the media, especially the BBC, who seek either to obscure what is happening or to assert that it's happening because, well, it's inevitable. Their task is to play down the risks of remaining and to play up the risks of leaving, not in opinion pieces but in plain reports.
