I think this is spot on honestly. Indeed we have actually had protestations from Australia, New Zealand, Argentina and others that under the Tories current plans of splitting trade schedules (both EU and WTO versions)- would actually mean that we are an unattractive proposition for them to trade with as they'd be limited in what they'll be able to sell us in terms of agriculture particularly as the Conservatives in an attempt to not get involved in trade agreements are hoping to palm off the EU's existing arrangements a particular percentage of the trade (So 92% of current wheat goes to the EU, 8% comes to us)- hence why i believe your quite right in no countries have been approached yet (Beyond the PM going to India last year and offending them).
Its madness to me for instance why the Commonwealth at the very least hasn't been sought out ( I get nothing concrete can be set- but you are allowed to lay down the framework, informal talking and understandings for trade agreements)- there's been multiple chances, and heck if you look at it, currently its a broken and shallow organization, containing some of the fastest growing (and in terms of Africa- predicted fastest growing) economies and some of our key anglo partners. It is ripe for a new kind of trade framework, that creatively could cut down on the issues and fears of the UK having to alone deal with China and the US straight away while we are in a very weak position by if done fairly for all, allowing us access to several key economies and opportunities from a myriad of states in a relatively short length of time (Reforming the Commonwealth could take a couple of years and practically would allow the UK to use its limited negotiating resources in an more effective manner than one by one approaching states that could take several years each to iron things out.- Again i do emphasize to differentiate my position from certain other groups who seem to believe we'd be able to bend the Commonwealth into our will in Empire 2.0 or some rubbish- this would require a reset in relations with India, and a recognition of equality of all members on an even footing- we cannot expect that they'll all jump at the chance, nor would i say make the Commonwealth a exclusive club/EU alternate group- instead make it an open trade and cultural block that doesn't restrict members- but does have actual trade clout for its members, unlike currently.
I am 100% with you here. Its also more than just the EU brexit issue, the government for instance with Universal Credit- had to be forced by labour to release the impact reports it was having on those its been rolled out too. Their actively avoiding votes- heck the last budget showed their also avoiding tackling any domestic issues. the Henry VIII laws can do more than just 'sort out' the regulations of the EU- but also can be used to change domestic law as it stands without parliamentary scrutiny. The 'weighting of the Committees' allows the Tories a majority on all of them, despite their lack of a parliamentary majority- a hand expressly dealt to them by the electorate because a Tory majority with its policies were not wanted. Their whole process currently smacks of being as cloaked and undemocratic as possible. Its honestly mind-boggling how they think its acceptable. What's worse though is that these are now precedents they have set for further governments to use- I wonder if they'll kick themselves when Corbyn's Labour do the same thing? But indeed it does feel May is the punchbag in the hopes that the electorate will blame her and not the Conservative party as a whole- i'd question though whether this will work considering their front bench is now also mostly tarred with the same brush of incompetence. I think also they underestimate the domestic economic issues they have allowed to go unaddressed and indeed in some cases made worse through what little policy they have implemented- this will perhaps see Labour (though not necessarily Corbyn who i believe would only do one term as PM before retiring) in for the next few terms as the Tories have to rebuild an image of being practical economists and not as current blind ideologists who keep as much from the public as possible.Honestly how can you have a government behave and such a secretive and covert way whether it was in that or during the Brexit negotiations, during which things are being agreed which even threaten the very future of the Nations unity. Do we really know how much money May agreed to pay the EU for a trade deal, because the figure of 50 billion that was being banded around, seems to have been leaked to the press! Government must be open and accountable, whether you voted Remain or Leave most people believe that. I think the only reason Theresa May is still there at No10, is to act as an "Aunt Sally" and carry the public's frustration and anger when the whole process goes belly up! Yes, we have a Conservative government who are accepting that Jeremy Corbyn will be the next Prime Minister, the only question is when, because I can't see her being propped up much longer given her level of mis-management
