For some time I've had the view that politics has turned into religion, where faith and belief are what's important and facts and reality are irrelevant. You can see this whenever the Brexiteers, both politicians and members of the public, trot out drivel along the lines of Brexit means Brexit and all the other banalities they're so fond of. Although not explicitly stated, the implication is always, 'we don't care what it does to the country, we believe in Brexit and that's all that matters. We demand that you fall in line with our belief system and assist in delivering our fairy tale.'

Evangelical Christians have nothing on these zealots.
