I’ve always thought so, that’s why I’ve always been a Eurosceptic before the shite word “Brexit” was ever made up.
The EU isn’t just a trade block when you’re in it, all your laws have to fall inline with theirs if they diverge from them, whether it suits or benefits us as a country or not. I think that’s absolute fucking shit! It does us no good whatsoever.
The EU is in for some turmoil the rise of alternative opinion in Poland and Hungary, and the never ending recessions in Italy Spain and Greece, and we would have had to adopt the Euro eventually which (when you have those struggling counties in the Med) won’t have been good for us or them.
We can make trade and law decisions to suit us as a country, and us only, rather than the suit the EU as an entity.
Once we’ve done this for a few decades, I think we’ll be in a better position than we would have been able to be if we’d stayed with them.
