The EU after relaxing budget deficit controls during covid are now in the process of reintroducing them, that means austerity for the whole of the EU. More austerity, more Neo-Liberal dogma, more fuel for the far right.
That would destroy any expansionary economic plans planned by the next Labour Government, although I am cynical enough to say they would welcome it.
We are better off out of it despite the Tories having not got a fucking clue about how to make the best of it, the problem is the centrist liberal left has no more idea than the halfwits like Hannon, Johnson et al
Austerity will be forced on the EU because of the re-introduction of the fiscal rules, if we had a government who would take the opportunity to invest in the nation and it can, we could rise again.
