Brexit - Do you trust the Parliament?

Mar 30 2023 The Guardian

Britons have more confidence in EU than Westminster, poll finds

“British people are now far more likely to have confidence in the EU than in UK parliament or the government.”

“Since the UK voted for Brexit, the proportion of people declaring confidence in parliament has slumped by 10 percentage points to 22% while there has been a seven percentage point rise in confidence in the Brussels-based bloc, to 39%.”

The former Brexit secretary David Davis blamed, among other things, the media:

“No one reads about square strawberries or straight bananas any more.”

Maybe it is just me, but with the Pandemic, the war in Ukraine, Climate Change, and other problems; talking about square strawberries and straight bananas, does sound a bit out of touch with everyday reality.
