I just cannot fathom it.
Was it really the brexiteers’ dream to give up access to the EU market (at the cost of EU goods being sold tariff free in the UK) only to get access to the US market, notoriously price driven and notoriously industrially farmed, at the cost of letting their shitty food into the UK?
Was that the ambition?! Is this what the brexiteers wanted?
Because this sure as shit makes zero sense to me. Even if I had been a brexiteer the old deal sounds markedly better.
You are clearly overestimating Brexshiters ability to analyse facts.
Yes, that's exactly what the people actually behind the Brexit rhetoric wanted. You know, ruthless capitalist scum.
But even if you took a capitalist angle towards it and said “I want to maximise profits” why not stay next to half a billion people whose markets you can access?
Because you're form a company industry with no foothold or interest in European markets, but tons in American?
It's not "maximises profits for a lot of people". It's "maximises profit for some specific people".
There was no plan, just a nationalist agenda that didn't like the EU. They didn't think about post Brexit at all, other than to come up with some good sounding fantasies for the campaign.
But the people who voted for it must have had some kind of idea of what it is that they wanted?
