True! « A living standards gap worth £8,300 had opened up between typical households in Britain and their average peers in Netherlands, France and Germany. » London School of Economics « In 2023 living standards are heading for the worst fall in at least seven decades since records began in the 1950s » OBR

[@countluke2334]

I don't think the rest of EU benefits from brexit. We never wanted it and we liked trading with the UK as well. We didn't suffer as much, because exports from the EU to the UK are smaller than UK exports to the EU. So the EU sells a bit less to the UK, no big deal. However, from the UK perspective, less goods coming in = empty shelves, and less exports don't exactly make the economy thrive, either.

[@shiftylad9938]

Even JRM set up in Dublin. These guys lied for themselves . Should be jailed. Standards will now obviously drop because anything labelled not for the EU will have random standards that don’t need to come up to EU regulations.

The sad reality is that the public DID vote for "getting our sovereignty back". Only you also have to understand that the majority of the British public couldn't even pronounce the word if asked, let alone give you any meaningful definition of what the concept amounts to in this particular context.

[@solentrambler]

How do you know?

[@IndustrialBonecraft]

@@solentrambler News interviews, online discussions, conversations in person, parallels to data on voter habits and reasoning. Conversations for the three years leading up to the vote dwelt heavily on the economic impacts and the realities of Brexit, and when any of that was raised we always heard 'project fear'. Fast forward several more years, and more or less every single warning that 'project fear' gave has come to pass and the British public have no answer. The broad trend indicated that people just went with some sad combination of personal wish fulfilment, bias affirmation, projection, and generic brand idiocy. The public bear a great deal of responsibility for this. We'd rather just yell at politicians for our utterly contemptible lack of critical thinking. Anybody else to take responsibility by us. I know that's not a popular sentiment, but we have to grow up as a nation at some point.

The lack of coherent policy suggestions from the Leave campaign was a key reason I voted Remain. No one talked about exactly what laws they could enact or overturn outside the EU. There was no Leave manifesto, other than vague allusions to sovereignty and independence. So it's always been clear to me, and any Remainer, that there is no benefit, and there never was going to be. I feel like a more valuable conversation would be around why this happened and what needs to change so it doesn't happen again. How did we get to a point where a few individuals decided to gamble the country's economy and people's livelihoods on a political stunt to prevent them losing seats to a rival party? Why was such a complex and important matter allowed to go to a popular referendum? A matter that the public were known to have common misconceptions about. Who was behind the decades long campaign to sew anti-EU sentiment among the public, and how did they benefit? There needs to be a inquiry.
