A national political carnival

The film only focused on the contest between politicians on Brexit. As for why they left the European Union, and the decision was handed over to all British people, they basically didn't explain what they would do after they were taken off. After all, the movie lasts only 90 minutes.

Perhaps when the film was produced, the crew had already made it clear that the goal was to fully express the political battle of Brexit, so they not only gave up explaining why the country had to decide between leaving and staying, nor did they want to spend their energy explaining whether Brexit would affect the politicians. What's the impact? Why can they make them quarrel in full force, invest a lot of manpower and material resources to promote their political views, and even kill them? Therefore, although the film is well made, it just feels a little bit of no beginning and end. It does not explain the "motivation" of the various characters. Only thanked Juan Fu in the final hearing explained his reasons for pushing for Brexit. ,What about the rest? have no idea. Perhaps for the British, the causes and consequences of launching the referendum are already known to everyone, and the crew is too lazy to spend this time explaining it.

The video documentary also used almost no stance to restore the struggle between the various forces in the days before the referendum. There is no decent or villain in this political game. The difference between the Remaining and Brexitists is only the number of shots given. , Under the camera there are only winners and losers, and a piece of chicken feathers left by a national political carnival.

The result of the referendum is known to the whole world that whether Brexit is stupid or wise is still a matter of constant debate over the past two years, but what is certain is that it is more like a political farce involving all people than a referendum. The so-called referendum is nothing but a political farce. It is the gap in the people's dissatisfaction that the people who stay in the European Union have listed various data, and put out a lot of theories and professional terms to show that Brexit is a disaster, and the people don't care about it at all. Just like when the Remains leaders met with voters, no one could listen to the big theory of the Remains. The emotionally out of control woman just ranted "I have nothing to lose" and "I'm fed up with my own worthlessness." , Since the reality is too fucking, let's make a fuss, make a mess, anyway, I'm fed up with it. This sentiment was taken advantage of by the Brexitists. They even used non-existent facts to stimulate and guide vacillating voters to believe that poor life is the pot of the European Union. Those Turks, Greeks and refugees rob us. Our work invades our social resources, and our taxes are all used on the lazy man across the strait. As long as we leave the European Union, everything will be as good as before.

Brexitists are like a group of clever public account writers. No matter if they are telling the truth or not, the title is eye-catching, and the content can hit the pain points of the public, but there is no fear that it will not get hot. Anyway, there are more people who agree with it, but the truth is not If people care, fake ones can be taken seriously. Remains are still checking information and statistics, when the Brexit leader Cummings racked his brains to arouse dissatisfaction among the people, he understood very well that what people want to see is more useful than what is right.

The people who are eager to leave the European Union have a simple idea. They don't care about what disasters will happen after Brexit. Anyway, they live badly, and everyone is badly stuck together. They kept the essence of voting for Brexit with the mentality of "barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes". Will the world be turned upside down after Brexit? Can the "take back control" of the Brexitists be realized? Probably only the Remaining faction will care. Anyway, even the congressmen have been assassinated. Everything is messed up. Whoever wants to clean up the mess behind, anyway, I wait for the masses to vote with their feet.

No wonder that after Prime Minister Cameron announced his resignation, he whistled and wandered back to the prime minister's house. Maybe he was a little gloating and looked forward to how these people who clamored about Brexit would clean up the mess.

Two years have passed since the referendum, and the chicken feathers left by the political carnival that year have not been cleaned up. Everyone in the UK and EU talks about Brexit is uncomfortable. The so-called "take back control" is still empty talk, and some people even called for it. In the second referendum, the film reproduced the carnival two years ago, reminding everyone that this mess was created by their concerted efforts with votes.

Brexit quotes

  • Dominic Cummings: [scene cuts between the two offices of Vote Leave and Vote Remain as they write out strategy] We also know that the other side are gonna run a campaign the way that campaigns have been run for pretty much the last 70 years. They're gonna fight from the center, and they're gonna make it about jobs and the economy.

    Andrew Cooper: We focus on the economy and jobs. The message: leaving risks both.

    Craig Oliver: Clinton '92. Best campaign ever. "It's the economy, stupid".

    Andrew Cooper: You define your opponent as the riskier option, and though the change candidate might initially poll well, come election day the nerves kick in. Voters revert back to center. Law of political science - if the status quo are ahead before the campaign begins, which we are, they always win on the day. So...

    Douglas Carswell: So, what's our answer?

    Dominic Cummings: Tzu's "The Art of War". If we fight them on home terrain, they will win. So what we need to do is lead them to the ninth battlefield. The deadly ground where no one expects to find themselves. Outcome? *They* perish.

    Victoria Woodcock: Which means?

    Dominic Cummings: You reverse the proposition. We make *them* the risky option. To stay is to risk losing more of the things we cherish - we're asking voters not to reject the status quo, but to return to it, to independence. How much does it cost us each week to be members of the EU?

    Daniel Hannan: In the region of...

    Dominic Cummings: What's our researcher's name?

    Matthew Elliott: Richard.

    Dominic Cummings: Ricardo, will you get me all the figures up for how much it costs to be members of the EU for a week? Largest one wins.

    Matthew Elliott: Make sure it's verifiable!

  • Dominic Cummings: It's not rocket science, it's simple. There are three types of voter. Those certain to vote to exit, that's one third. Well, they're in the bag, so ignore them. Those certain to vote to stay, that's another third, and we can't touch them so fuck 'em. The last third: "I would like to leave, but I'm worried about what the effect will be to jobs and living standards". *These* are the only people that we need to care about. And trust me, the others will be after exactly the same bunch.

    [cut to Vote Remain offices]

    Craig Oliver: Now, these are who will decide the result. The "Hearts versus Heads" and the "Disengaged Middle". 34% of the electorate.
