| There was nothing coherent to understand. A rag tag coalition mainly built on delusional positions. - we can have all the trade benefits without freedom of movement (specifically denied by EU at the time, didn't materialise) - we will have 'more trade' afterwards (fails to understand how trade works) - we won't have to follow EU rules (in reality, we can't really diverge that much from how the EU works without incurring penalties) - we won't have to pay anything to them / we hold all the cards / ... (we did pay for our liabilities and we definitely didn't hold the cards) - we can become much more left wing if we leave the neoliberal EU (fails to account for the fact our country isn't particularly left wing overall) - politicians will have to take responsibility/can't blame the EU (brexiteers keep blaming the EU even now, BJ et.al. have faced minimal or no consequences for their actions) - we can fish again (ignores relative importance of fishing vs the actually productive economy, disregards that EU is a big market for said fish) What do you suggest we engage with? |
