I have met many people who voted leave and have since regretted it but I don’t think I have met anyone who voted remain and is now convinced by subsequent events that leave were right all along.
But the Foreign Secretary and now chief Brexit negotiator Liz Truss is one such person.
What it is about the collapse in UK trade, the slowing economy, red tape, border controls and the mess in Northern Ireland; all of which Remain predicted, that have lead her to change her mind it is hard to tell.
She might believe that referendum results are so sacred that she has a duty to implement them come what may. But then the UK didn’t and doesn’t have to implement the result this way. There are many other alternative Brexits that could have been tried, nearly all of them closer to what people were promised in the referendum campaign.
As they used to say of religion, the converts are always the worst. There is no one more ultra than the convert who thinks they have to prove just how committed they now are.
Lord Frost was a convert and so is Liz Truss. But she is also a very ambitious, elected politician with some support in a Party that is getting mightily hacked off with its current leader.
That is a combination that worries me.
Economics, trade and Brexit, not necessarily in that order but the dog always comes first.
Had it actually been a properly run constitutional referendum, the Leave vote of 37% would have lost. 63% didn't vote to change the status quo. Public service union strike ballots have to be conducted to that standard.
Parliament decided, firstly, to remove the super-majority requirement on the basis that the vote was only advisory. Then Parliament decided to interpret the result as if it were an opinion poll or lottery - excluding the rights of the 28% who didn't or couldn't vote.
Seems to me it wasn't just Boris Johnson who thought Brexit would be an opportunity for career advancement.
