Chris made an interesting point in a different thread about Scottish independence ie that Salmond had said in 2013 that Scottish independence could be achieved 18 months after a referenfum win.
Brexit has shown how complicated these things actually are in reality.
I've heard one or two people say that they are leavers at heart, but they essentially believe that we are now so ingrained into the EU that it will be impossible to leave (at least completely).
Wasn't VAT introduced to pay for our contribution to the EU? If we leave and no longer have to pay into the EU every year, is there a case for abolishing this?

No, only a part of VAT pays for membership. There will be a case for reducing it though.
We had purchase tax before VAT.
