REFERENDUM RESULTS AND DISCUSSION THREAD

Leeds for Europe supporter James Bovington, makes the case for a youth mobility scheme quite brilliantly in this morning's Yorkshire Evening Post today...

Five years ago today, Boris Johnson and the Conservative party delivered on the results of the Brexit referendum and secured our departure from the European Union – delivering on the clear democratic will of the country.

Since then, our country – standing on its own two feet as a sovereign nation – has been able to achieve so much.

This has included 73 trade deals with countries and the EU, including the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership, boosting British businesses and lowering prices for consumers.

It has also led to the UK ending the supremacy of EU law, putting parliament in control of UK laws, and leading to the reform or revocation of almost 2,500 pieces of arbitrary or burdensome EU law.

Outside the EU, and free of their regulations, we have been able to deliver more competitive tax policies, such as cutting VAT on certain products, reduce and simplify tariffs, and make the City more competitive with the Edinburgh Reforms.

The UK was also able to take control of its waters and protect our fisherman as an independent coastal state.

We need people who believe we should be trying to make the country better - a country where wellbeing is maximised for the maximum number of people.

The path to better national wealth?

Well, there's no evidence that Brexit is the path and a lot of evidence that Brexit is the wrong direction.
 
If you take the view that the driving factor for so many was racism/xenophobia or a combination of the 2, then even if you are convinced by the JRM it can't be judged for 50 years argument economically then it's still been a spectacular failure. I think it's why the RWP and the Tories made such a noise over boats in the channel, it makes the mouth breathers think that's where all immigration is coming from when really it's a small percentage.
 
That poll suggests most people know Brexit was bollicks. Surely one political party would campaign on rejoining Europe to get a ton of votes?

The issue is it crosses party lines so Labour for instance would lose as many votes as they'd gain imo. Economically it's the right thing to do, not necessarily politically though

I was thinking one of the smaller parties, like lib dem or greens or something. I haven't fully thought through the implications so it might end up meaning we get something really undesirable!
 
Lib Dems campaigned for cancelling Brexit in 2019. Lost nearly all their seats including their leader's.
