Brexit: and splits in East Devon

Brexit is not a matter of simple left or right divisions:

And so the party political confusion worsens:

To what extent is this reflected in East Devon?

It is understood that the East Devon Conservatives are currently selecting their candidates for this year's District elections:

Last night the Sidmouth Labour party were meeting at exactly the same time as the Brexit vote was happening in the Commons:

Whilst the East Devon Alliance is also split over Brexit:

However, East Devon's independent parliamentary candidate is very clear on her position:

The background, though, is still the party-political mess at national level, with East Devon's MP voting last night in opposition to his colleague in Honiton:

There has been talk of a need for some sort of cooperation for some time now:

But whether this will create further splits is very much open to question:

Perhaps we need to look beyond East Devon and the UK to the bigger picture and the attempts to create lasting splits from way beyond these shores:
