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.

I agree with that, especially with party politics here in the uk (can't speak for other countries but assume it's the same). As an ex-labour member and now from the outside looking in I can see that many in the parties are exhibiting cult like behaviour. Brexit is the same, it's become like a fanatical movement, a good example for me personally is a friend of mine (who I regularly have heated arguments with) doesn't care about jobs, what people have lost, the economic downturn and all the other aspects, he just want it to happen and comes up with the most ludicrous justifications for doing so. It's got to the point I actually think such people need psychiatric help!
