    But that’s our realistic alternative.

    Either we work with the EU, who (even if not perfect) have sane, useful laws, with oversight of our own government, or we work with the corrupt tories only, who will keep taking and leave us with nothing.

    Perhaps we should have made sure our country wasn’t being run into the ground before getting rid of any oversight.

    But now it’s too late, and the results are clear no matter what your fantasy brexit was. The Tories were in charge when you voted to give them more power. And now they have more power. Shocked Pikachu.

      That’s treating the symptoms and also assumes that EU oversight is a good thing.

      What happens if the right continues its rise and ends up in powerful positions within the EU? Do you really want that sort of oversight?

      It’s not too late. And if you voted remain, you voted with the Tory government…

        IF that happened, then we could leave.

        But it hasn’t happened.

        But our Tory government already is super right leaning and that’s all we have now.

        If you voted remain you voted to be a part of the larger EU, if you voted leave you voted to only be governed by the tories.

        If you voted leave you fucked up big time and you’re on the defensive. Swallow your pride and admit it was a bad choice at the time and it’s a bad choice now. Nothing good has come of it.

        The only place you feel like it’s a win is in the fantasy you just mentioned where nazi EU becomes a thing and we escaped just in time.

        But reality is that the UK is a lot more right leaning than the EU as a whole, they’re ruining our country, and you voted to give them more power.

          No, if you voted to leave, you voted to restore sovereignty to parliament. The people get the government they deserve. We don’t need oversight. That’s bollocks.

          If you voted leave you fucked up big time and you’re on the defensive. Swallow your pride and admit it was a bad choice at the time and it’s a bad choice now. Nothing good has come of it.

          We are out of the CAP. The replacement Agriculture Policy removes production subsidy. That’s all I wanted.

          We are already back in Horizon and have a seat at the table at the European Political Community

          You are on the defensive, not me mate. I work in agtech, brexit and covid have been great for business and will help mitigate climate change.
