We are getting a demented right wing exit.
Are we?
10% flat rate IT, close to 0% CT, market deregulation, and positioning ourselves as the Singapore of Europe, etc. is what one of the few leave voters I knew was after.
I'd say we're getting an authoritarian exit.

How different do you think ASEAN is from the EU? Without ASEAN membership Singapore wouldn't have the clout it has in SEA that it has today.

Authoritarian is another way to put it.
I'm not a fan of unregulated markets the way the Tories want them, as they also come with no labour protection. The industrial revolution was pure "let the market sort it" ;)
The timescale is also very short, it's hard to do such things with no trading mates nearby and pissing off one you were part of since 1975 and TTIP/CETA are not deregulation, they're anti-state.
Perhaps there's a good way to do what your leave voter acquaintance is after, but I see an omnishambles atm. How do you go about it?

Well, Left Exit hinged a lot of the things I mentioned.
We are getting a demented right wing exit.
So out of curiosity (and no I would not have voted out anyway as left has no plan B...) is there something we would be willing to pay for?
Reform of the voting system is something more concrete, being able to offer companies state help... some people are basically saying this is THE opportunity to reform the UK.
Again I am playing devil's advocate, the issue and blessing of the EU is that everything is a compromise, which means it's all sorta boring and works. You won't get fascism or communism.
