  • Well done - you are a useful idiot

  • There is definitely a very strong left wing argument for BREXIT, which your link puts forward.

    The thing I don't understand though is how any of this is redressed by leaving?

    Will we limit immigration, raise wages and raise taxes?

    If we will how will this come about using our current democratic system? The Conservatives have a majority now and even if all parties were totally fractured there are enough with right/libiral economic views to block any bills making those changes.

    Also do you believe that we now live in a globalized world with corporations holding close to, or as much power as government? If so how will leaving put us in a stronger position in the context?

  • The thing is, leaving is no guarantee of a left-wing government. I respect the left-wing arguments for leaving, particularly those of Jenny Jones. However, the changes that left hope will come with leaving won't happen. This is because they aren't the goals of the right-wing and centrist leavers who are going to be the dominant ones in any powershift that come about following Brexit. You will literally get the opposite of what you want.
