What should a plan look like? Just wondering.
I read the BBC link and the articles on the DT and Guardian websites. What I've received so far is that there is a lot of discussion within the departments and among the departments and cabinet ministers and a lot of disagreement as well. See below:
"Every department has developed a 'bottom-up' plan of what the impact of Brexit could be - and its plan to cope with the 'worst case'.
"Although necessary, this falls considerably short of having a 'government plan for Brexit' because it has no prioritisation and no link to the overall negotiation strategy."
The past part is subjective. The former implies the government are working towards a 'plan'. May has been PM for three and a half months. I'd think leaving the EU is a remarkably complicated process especially if one wants to mitigate as many legal, economic and social disruptions in the process. Why else do you think she announced she was delaying Article 50 to as late as next March? So that she can find out as much information from all the various ministries, put out feelers to the EU to determine what is possible and what's not possible, in short to learn as much as possible about all the Brexit implications, all the different types of Brexit that may be possible, and the pros and cons of various options as well as their feasibility before putting forward an official government plan.
Frankly, if May and Co had stepped forward immediately with a fully detailed 'plan' people would be screaming at her for rushing too quickly.
