Hi guys, does anyone know a good, well written article/study or perhaps even several articles/studies which outline the tangible or even non tangible upsides of Brexit? Genuine question. Thanks.

Richard Tuck's stuff early on was (still is) an attempt to develop a philosophically coherent argument for Brexit on the left. I read the early stuff and it was interesting, well thought out, but didn't convince me (from memory it was one part an argument about sovereignty from a Hobbesian perspective, and one part an engagement with the problem of a neo-liberal super organisation). The issues raised are legitimate, but also a "treatment worse than the sickness" situation.

He released a new book earlier this year which I should read but haven't: https://www.wiley.com/en-gb/The+Left+Case+for+Brexit:+Reflections+on+the+Current+Crisis-p-9781509542277

From what you say it feels like those arguments fall into the "intangible" category.

I read the "pros" of Brexit lists and, as we know, its all outweighed by the Pros of EU membership.

So, as expected, its not even a close run thing. Perfect.
