The title is correct. The mood has swung decisively against Brexit. Last poll showed 56 vs 44 against Brexit. I am not at all Left Wing. I voted Tory my entire life but I also understood that most of Vote Leave's rhetoric was based on fabrications such as "millions of Turks about to invade the country, they need us more than we need them, Cake and Eat it etc.". The myths about Empire don't make sense anymore in a globalised world where trading blocs are necessary. Brexit benefits only rich tax dodgers and, for those still talking absolute nonsense.........we were always independent (yawn). The very fact we "Brexited" proves it. Finally, Brexit is, in my opinion, the most unpatriotic thing a Brit could wish for. It takes us from being a leading player in the wealthiest Trade bloc on Earth to being Trump's plaything. Thanks a bunch.
The only economist I am aware of who openly supports Brexit is Patrich Minford, who said, on the record at a parliamentary commitee, that Brexit will inevitably destroy UK manufacturing and agriculture and that this is somehow a good thing.
Yes I have spent many years working within the EU, I even did my thesis on why the UK should not join the Euro. That is precisely why I say I am not a fan of the EU but having weighed up all the pros and cons I see it as a far better option that what the Tories are offering. One doesn't have to be tribal you see. I like to see evidence and analyse it. If this is what you call childish, you are part of the problem.
Because it was stooping to your level.
I am not even a fan of the EU. Unlike you, however, I am able to weigh up evidence from all sources. That virtually all experts agree on the Economics and the effect on peace and stability that Brexit will have, tells me most of what I need to know. That BlueSkySeas think he/she knows better than all the experts tells me everything else I need to know. That's populism and you demonstrate the dangers of it.
Virtually every respected historian knows that the EU has been as responsible for peace in Europe as NATO. It is not one or the other. They are both important. Yugoslavia was not in the EU and to blame the EU for ethnic problems after Communism is like blaming the EU for the Irish conflicts. But you know better than all the experts naturally. Sad. And by the way, I know more about the EU than you will ever know. I have spent a life dedicated to it. I believe it requires reform but the extreme positions taken by your ilk are an insult to everything precious in this country.
I really couldn't care less what you Tory infiltrators say anymore. I am frankly terrified by what a party I once supported has become and what another 5 years of it in government will do to this country and the NHS. The party is now supported by Tommy Robinson - TOMMY ROBINSON !! And you defend this ??? The EU, despite all the lies you have so easily swallowed, is one of the most honourable and noble peace projects ever conceived. You and your ilk are destroying it because you hate foreigners or hate foreign languages on trains.
Brexit will cause European unity, so hard fought for, to break down. This will cause tension and majorly increase the potential for conflict. The peaceful European continent we have enjoyed for 40 years is over. And the party I used to vote for is responsible fo this. The Tories have brought this on our continent in the pursuit of riches for the wealthy. Brexit won't harm me, I am middle class. But it will destroy harmony on our continent which is so much more important than lining billionaires' pockets. This is the sad truth about the Tory party now.
Of course ! Well done. If Kenneth Clarke, Michael Hestletine and John Major are now repulsed by their former party, I take it they must be Momentum trolls ? Wow. You have the brains of a Ukipper that's for sure.
