Thanks to everyone who us contributing. However I still want to hear back from Louise, not from people putting words in her mouth. She's perfectly capable of speaking for herself.
And this has been the problem from day one. No one who backed or agitated for Brexit has ever been able to get beyond the soundbites. So we end up with a parade of what people picked up from wherever with no added value whatsoever.
Just one example of something the UK has been dragooned into against its will would have been enough. But even when the more thoughtful contributors think they have found the killer argument, it takes a few seconds research to show that not only was it not the UK being forced into something. In many cases it was the UK leading the way. Smoking bans and metrication being 2 good examples.
However, even if a Brexit supporter were to be able to produce that unicorn, they still have to explain why the UK being subservient to EU law is bad, but being subservient to UN law, or WTO law, or any one of the myriad treaties the UK has signed isn't.
It's a two-step argument.
