Comments by "Roger Bennett" (@rogerbennett9641) on "Has Brexit broken politics forever?" video.
@berniebasset9465 What sort of remain did remain voters think they would get. For the average person in the UK it would inevitably mean the continued erosion of their standard of living. At least 25 of the 28 economies in the EU have lower GDP and higher debt ever closer union means we must eventually have the Euro, harmonised tax rates, a common defence structure and transfers of capital from the richer states to the poorer for the purposes of investment, and public spending to attempt to equal out disparities and have a realistic currency value in all states. This inevitably means an averaging down of living standards for the average person in the richer countries because there is no way economic growth can increase fast enough to keep pace with the changes needed especially with the drive to reduce emissions to halt climate change. This of course is not a problem for the secure upper middle level and above as far as they can see but even if they are correct the lack of disregard for fellow countrymen is eyewatering.
