Quote:Yes, absolutely. If the result had been the other way, those who voted out would have buckled down and got on with it, and it would have been Italy, or Spain, or Greece, perhaps Poland or Hungary, that would be the first to leave.
Really? The fruitcakes, loonies and closet racists of UKIP would have just shrugged their shoulders and said “Oh well, that’s that.”
Perhaps another country would try to leave if we hadn’t started the process of trying to do so first. But whatever, the way things stand, we will be the first and the last. The other countries can now see clearly what BREXIT means.
Of course, a great many of those who believe in BREXIT want to see the EU dissolve, with country after country leaving. But think what that means. What is the EU?
The EU is 28 counties, trading freely without any restrictions. If they were 28 separate countries, you would have 28 separate trade laws, 28 separate legal systems to deal with, 28 separate governments to deal with. As a manufacturing business for example, if you wished to trade with all, you might need 28 different versions of your product to pass 28 different safety standards. You also need 28 separate trade deals.
In other words, every country that is currently a member of the EU would end up poorer if the EU was dissolved.
It is not just fundamentally stupid to leave the EU, not to mention doing so after investing 40 years building it, but incredibly selfish.
So we will not get a better deal than we have right now. And if we leave, the UK will suffer economically.
But don’t forget that the Jacob Rees Moggs etc of the Tory party would like nothing more than to the see the ordinary people of this country down on their knees begging for their next fucking meal. These people intend to become even richer and even more powerful through BREXIT.
