Melanie Phillips suggested this and the replies were everything you’d hope for
Here’s broadcaster and journalist Melanie Phillips sharing her one-stop shop solution to the shambles currently known as Brexit Britain.
I’ve said it before: draft Farage. Sack May, give Farage a peerage, make him party leader and PM – at least until UK really does properly leave the EU.
Too fanciful? Desperate times need desperate measures; public faith in democratic process now in dangerhttps://t.co/DSOo5sUneT— Melanie Phillips (@MelanieLatest) July 9, 2018
Well, yes, there’s probably a parallel universe somewhere in which this might indeed be the ideal solution.
But these 17 replies to the former Daily Mail, now Times columnist are probably a tiny bit closer to reality.

Democracy is in danger. So let’s undemocratically appoint to an unelected chamber a guy who failed to get democratically elected 7 times and put him in charge even though he hasn’t been democratically elected. That should reassure everyone about democracy. https://t.co/ETYJwFik5d

The man who has never produced a single detailed workable proposal for leaving the EU despite banging on about it for 20 years? That man? Are you on glue Melanie?
