British politicians might not say it for narrow electoral reasons, but let’s be in no doubt – this is due to Brexit and Brexit alone. British people rightly understand that in a changing world order, we have to work together closely as fellow Europeans to have a chance at a bright, shared European destiny. Even six and a half years after the referendum and a tortuous withdrawal process, politicians on the left and centre talk about “making Brexit work” and fiddling around the edges of the extreme Brexit that Boris Johnson chose, claiming the deal can be improved. I have no doubt that one day, a young British politician will slay the proverbial elephant and lead Britain back into the European family, where it belongs.
