You lost me here. Recover from what, exactly? You've alluded to some problems here - which I'm happy to consider as valid - but you haven't described them as anything but "political" and "economic". Was Britain on some terrible downhill plummet in these areas?
- denton-scratch 4y agoWell, I'm a socialist. The EU has capitalism built into it's fabric; socialist policies are largely illegal, because of EU financial rules. For example, you can't nationalise things. It wans't a plummet; it's that the EU is designed to prevent certain kinds of political change, in particular changes that I want to see. By staying in the EU, we'd be accepting that we can't ever make those kinds of changes. I don't think we should make that kind of concession. That's the politics; as for the economics, I don't share the German view of how to manage the European economy. Germany dominates European banking and finance. I think European bankers have made some awful decisions in the last couple of decades, and we have been dragged along. I don't think Tory economics is any better; but we won't have neo-liberals running the UK forever.
