politics = economics, pretty much?!

I'm afraid you are seriously mistaken. Just take court jurisdiction and supremacy of parliament.

Politics is very much not economics, at least when it comes to Brexit.

People vote with their wallet, right or wrong.

As for "court jurisdiction and supremacy of parliament", given the way the government has abused its powers at times, I'd like a higher court than the UK one.

BTW I did raise a question illegality by the UK government with the EU. Stuff started to get done. The UK government's standard brush-off to being challenged on something they don't want to answer to, is "it's not in the public interest". Which is bullshit.

If the UK government wasn't so tossy and incompetent, I might be a lot more sympathetic to "court jurisdiction and supremacy of parliament"
