Yes, does sound logical - can’t see it going down well with voters, but still!

Look, ultimately it’s impossible to say now as to whether or not Brexit was good or bad for the UK, and it’s all highly subjective.

I like to think of it as similar to claiming that Beethoven would have been an even better composer if his mother had shown him more affection. Something that is completely impossible to prove one way or the other.

If the EU referendum had gone the other way, if the UK government had ignored the result and stayed in*, then, possibly the world might look a bit different, maybe.

* Although the logical conclusion of this would be, yes we claim to be a democracy, but, sorry, screw you, the public, we know best!
