Isn't the clear incentive of states and businesses and organizations like the World Bank to isolate the UK to punish its citizens until they discard their government? Whatever investment is lost in the short-term can be recouped during a round of speculation upon the re-liberalization of the UK.

I'm suggesting your country can't choose this government (for long) unless it is arrived at collaboratively across multiple countries individually.

It's not that you're advocating isolationism, but that you aren't. A non-isolationist stance can't be compatible with a realistic vision for this type of governance, without the mutual aid of aligned governments.

As for the EU again, I've covered some arguments both for and against. What I wanted to hear from you, and that you didn't really answer in the Future of EU thread, was what you believe should happen assuming - as is most plausible now - that some form of Hard Brexit is assured. Spilt milk and all, what's the next step assuming this will be the case?
You wot? Are you trying to say that the World Bank and other organisations would stop a UK government from investing in libraries? Because Sure Start happened recently, under the Blair government.

And as for what should be done should hard Brexit happen; don't ask me, I didn't vote for it. I voted Remain, and in any future referendum (not that I expect one to happen in my lifetime), I'd vote for EU membership.
