Well that can't be done, sorry Guy.
Don't you have an opinion on whether the disintegration of the UK is a price worth paying for Brexit?

I expect to see laws on the environment, health and safety, market regulation etc passed here to be amendable down the line as circumstances change, following debate held here, to suit us. I expect to see our Press begin to hold our parliament accountable for all the laws it passes instead of blaming Brussels. And I expect all of that enrich our national life and in the longer run I expect the freedom and energy thus unleashed will enable the country to become a happier, wealthier place. I consider that to be a personal benefit to me and to all.
Perhaps you were hoping for some attempt to claim instant financial rewards, however I hope you will agree that voting for short-term financial reasons is selfish and, well, shortsighted. |
Quality answer.
