Why is Putin so popular in Russia? Because of Yeltsin.
    Skip the staway, the Brittish and Dutch ecomomy are way too interconnected to use such a word. I am no theorist I am a layman and but isn't an expert anything more than someone who can explain why he had it wrong? Economics aside there are other reasons to be rid of the hand in your pants. The EU has become an unacountable monster

    The economies are about to become less interconnected, as you continue to have your common market, while we are about to leave, much to your pleasure. As for other reasons, I'd have thought that food on the table would be the first and overriding reason of politics, but I guess you think differently. It's easier for you to think differently after all, since you're not going to see food disappear, nor do you care if it happens to others, as long as you get to win your argument.

    I would be a sadistic psychopath if I would like food seing dissapear and I just happen to not be a sadistic psychopath. I would call the EU that as they keep dumping surpluss in Africa, literraly making it impossible to build something themselve. I wonder what will happen in Brittain when smaller companies actually have a chance.

    Even higher prices as the whole economies of scale advantage is lost, efficiency goes down, resources are wasted.

    Are you familiar with the broken glass theory? A little bit harm can do a lot of good basicly. Libertarians are disgusted by the premise but we could see it in action in the UK.

    Classical neolib argument. Never mind the decrease in living standards. It's all for your own good, says he who lives a world away. The political writer I admire most is George Orwell. Orwell sought to understand the people he was writing about by going there and living amongst them. You're the polar opposite of Orwell.

    Have never read anything of him so I can say nothing about it, but the English seem to have a broken window that needs fixing. You don't have to be so hostile, my mom and father have/had no education at all, my mom grew up in a lower-class neighbourhood in Haarlem and my father always kept his beard to hide the stabbing wounds. Do you think I am aristocracy or something. My face is covered with scars, I got scars from stabbing wounds everywere and got actually shot. Does Orwell?
