Not any more, quite a lot of leavers have changed their minds.
Look, let’s forget for a moment the reasons we voted why we did, as that’s all in the past and can’t be changed. Let’s look instead at where we are now, and what we know to be the case, as told to us by experts from groups like the Institute for Fiscal Studies, the Confederation of British Industry, and loads of others like Michael Dougan as in the videos posted by TSS. All of them, and even a lot of Brexiteers, are saying that we will be worse off under any kind of withdrawal agreement, whether it’s May’s deal, Norway Plus, Canada Plus, or whatever, and catastrophically worse off under a WTO Crash Brexit. Farage, Rees-Mogg, Francois and co. have all consistently lied about WTO, the reason being that the super-rich are the ONLY people who will benefit from it. The reason they are all so desperate to leave is because of the EU’s Anti-Tax Avoidance Directive, which means that tax will have to be paid on all income including offshore investments. This extra tax income would be paid directly to national governments under normal tax processes, and would essentially amount to the “magic money tree” which it was claimed Labour would need to fund its massive regeneration proposals.
That being the case, can’t we all agree that it’s better to stay?
