My dislike of Drakeford is personal not political, I just don't like the man and I question his motives in some of the things he does. It isn't political at all.
The only judgement I make is on certain people who judge everything by their own political beliefs, and in doing so will automatically say something is bad or wrong whatever it is, if it doesn't agree with their ideas of how things should be, even, as you accept, they don't even know what that something is yet.
You only have to read some of the posts in this thread to understand that this is so, if one can see part one's own political beliefs.
The real fact is that the country voted for this and then the country voted for the current Westminster Government on the promise to do this and finish it, and they have. And many of those who did vote in this government are people who's naturally affinity is to another party. Perhaps some on here might quietly reflect on why that may have been.
What happens in the next few years will determine the rightness or wrongness of it, and nothing else. no one can state now that it is wrong.
Well, when you hold certain beliefs and someone consistently says things that are contrary to them over a long period, like you have done, you assume that they have little or nothing in common with you politically. Anyway, all I did was point out that you appeared to be doing exactly the same as some who had made you “smile” because of the way they were putting their views over. The only thing I said on the Brexit vote in particular was that the title of this thread reminded me of the sort of language heard by some leave voters.

Everybody judges things by their own political beliefs, or to put it another way, I’d be reluctant to believe someone who claimed they didn’t. A thing that sometimes makes me smile is how some are so reluctant to admit that theirs have changed as they move a long way to the right as they get older.
