Here are some lessons for our politicians from Brexit:
-
Watch for the law of unexpected consequences.
-
Never ask the electorate a question unless you know the answer.
-
Be careful what you wish for as it might happen.
-
The higher you rise the further the fall.
-
Keep an eye on left field and who's behind you.
-
Unfulfilled promises can bite you.
-
Politicial careers usually end in failure.
