Well done Jegs, it's only taken you two days to catch up.

@jc And yet people still frame Brexit as an economic argument. It's about sovereignty.
The vote or the actual deal?

@antipodean That’s because for a lot of people (myself included) the economic question was (and still is) much more important than the sovereignty question.

Thing is that the two arrive together.
No use wrecking the economy on a principle when you could make a well prepared exit instead.
The referendum result in no way meant the separation had to happen ASAP.
I see that the only parallel that Treasury could find was when NZ wasn’t prepared for UK joking the EC and how damaging it was. -

To my mind the vote was very much on emotive issues, compared to the detail of any agreement which is more likely to be centered around economic issues. Whichever way you look at it and from whichever viewpoint you may come from, it has benn handled appallingly.

The vote, hence the outcome. The difficulty is in the unwrapping to find the gift may not be what you wanted.

@jegga but literally only 5 posts before yours...
Look we can talk all day about the ins and outs of who posted what and when but the real focus of the internet has always been about posting snarky comments about people or groups you don’t like so if you think I’m going to scroll through a thread before I do that you’re wrong.
