Hi everyone but especially bearbehind. I am still waiting for you to reply to my first post. You dismissed my housing analogy as poor and ignored everything else. Given I said in my post the analogy was poor you hardly moved the debate on. Indeed this was your longest and most thoughtful contribution, to pick on something I said was weak and ignoring everything else.
Lower down you said you dismissed all that I said on the basis of the comment on the tampon tax. The point about the tampon tax obviously escaped you. The British government had to get EU approval to zero rate female sanitary products. Why is that a good thing? In what world does such a minor detail on the overall scheme of taxation merit senior government minister's time and energy debating and persuading the EU secretariat of the merits of the argument in favour of abolition?
Missing the point is seen quite often. You have had detailed responses to your query that touch on sovereignty, fiscal policy, foreign policy and trade policy and many other things. You ignore every last one.
One has to wonder what you are trying to achieve. Your open derision about Leave voters and your correspondents tells us much of your attitude but little on your thoughts on the points made. Your posts tell us little of why you think Brexit is such a bad idea in the first place.
m4dad points out the non-financial arguments. You ignore them.
I point out the weaknesses in the models used to assess the benefits and downsides. You ignore me.
We point out the EU position is quite understandable if a tad hypocritical and self defeating (tariffs are paid by the importer after all, stopping your citizens buying the best of something is hardly increasing their welfare etc). You ignore this as well.
The parameters to discuss the pros and cons have been set out again and again but you don't engage. Rather ironic given the first responses from leavers to this thread were that they were tired of a lack of engagement by Remain supporters on issues of substance.
