A shame, but impossible as he is a neutral Government advisor on UK and EU law. But I certainly understand the sentiment. Right up to the last few days prior to the EU vote I, perhaps like many people, was unclear on the issues being raised by the smoke and mirrors. The Internet came to the info rescue, as it often does, and after wading through seemingly hours of BS from politicians, I caught some twerp from the Leave campaign shouting 'don't believe the experts'. So that's what I did. I looked up expert opinion only on the net. And there was plenty of informed, unbiased [as it can be] free advice. DTLW, as he usually does, beat me to posting up Professor Dougan's initial video, and I thought that would be enough. Game over. He is an example of an expert central to the EU exit question. He should know his stuff. But there were others. I could plaster this Politics thread with old videos of experts in their field who advised the UK not to leave the EU, at the time.
Somewhere along the line there has been a major shift to the political right wing to the point that the working class have tugged their forelocks and overnight potentially waived away all of 40 years of hard won benefits, rights and responsibilities. Most of them won through the EU. I hesitate to identify a true catalyst, which brought it to the surface, but I suspect it might have been the West's attitude to Al Qaeda and ISS, amongst other terrorist groups. I think Brexit [I loathe that word] is merely a consequence of the movement that was sparked.
