retep Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 It appears you've been duped into believing that the outcome of Brexit can't be known. Do you really think that the people and money men behind Brexit have no idea what their endgame is, or what they want from it? Really? Do tell us the future O Great Mistake.

I1L2T3 Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Do tell us the future O Great Mistake. You don't need to ask me The best answers are going to come from the government's 58 impact studies that have been suppressed. They should be available quite soon after the commons vote last week.

Jeffrey Shaw Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 One consequence is even more unification/de-democratisation of the residual 27 'countries' (and keep an eye on how their 'countryship' status will be inexorably diminished). An unbiased consideration was broadcast by the BBC itself, last night, on Radio 4.

For "Europe Unbound", go to the I-Player at http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b09bykhz How can replacing one democratic process with another democratic process be labelled de-democratisation Jeffrey? Here is an interesting result of the increased level of unification: Due to an ability to finally discuss more fiscal cooperation because one pesky-non-collaborative player is out of the picture thanks to Brexit, the EU will soon move on tax-havens (which, surprise, surprise, are often dependencies of said pesky-non-collaborative player). I recently attended a political conference where a rather important EU politician forecast this precise move saying 'the mood is right, we need to stop fiscal advantages for the rich and it has been the UK who fought for them'. Expect that as soon as possible the rich in the EU will get properly taxed. Not bad for a capitalist union, is it Car Boot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Car Boot Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 The EU Commission’s proposals for dramatically increasing the economic union will lead to a significant loss of power for national governments. Attracting investment, employment and the ability to raise tax revenue will all impact sovereignty. The formula proposed to tax corporation profits favours EU states such as France and Germany with large home markets, over smaller exporting ones like Ireland.

On so many levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait, now the anti-capitalist stance of the EU is a reason to leave the EU? Make up your mind, I can't keep up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed. It’s time for most Brexiters to stop pretending they care about people in the smaller EU countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
