Provincialbelle - the economy is currently "doing well" because of all the money spent on stockpiling in preparation for Brexit. Businesses cannot cope forever with constantly moving goalposts. Meanwhile, schools, councils, social care, safeguarding, legal aid, health services, etc, etc, are not doing well at all and the harm done by this will last an incredibly long time. We do need politicians that can actually do their job, and quite urgently. Why people think the harm done by several years of political and administrative constipation will be seen immediately in the economy, I do not understand, anyway.
It's just silly to argue Brexit won't have an effect on the economy on the basis it hasn't obviously done so yet, given the fact that we have not Brexited, yet. Fuck knows what will happen over the long term if and when we do, but I have no faith in our politicians getting a good deal for us however we leave the EU, as they have zero track record of getting a good deal on anything that I can think of. Better to stay in the EU, imo, where we actually have a reasonable deal, than to surrender our country to the sole control of our home grown politicians, who have shown themselves to be uniquely incompetent. They are clearly not up to coping with the monumental constitutional change that is Brexit and will make a massive and costly balls up of it.
