Would it create more new build affordable homes.
Would it reduce waste and pollution by water companies.
Would it greatly reduce the amount of potholes in the road network.
Would it reduce 'grass roots' crime - (burglary, theft, assaults, mindless vandalism etc).
I believe the answer would be no, so what's the point.
Of course other people have a list of their own 'needs and desires'  |
It would make the country richer so we can spend more money on the police, NHS, councils and other areas without increasing taxes. We could spend money on potholes and not on red tape for exports, for example.
By joininng the electricity single market, energy bills would be cheaper too.
And since we left the EU, regulation of the water companies has been demonstrably weakened.

Agreed, it's denial of the purest form.
Just how many more prime ministers do you need Seph before you acknowledge that Brexit has not brought the benefits you dreamed of?
In a way Brexit has made us more European - frequent changes of PM, high taxation and end to stable government!
