She's right. And the effects of the four freedoms are as follows: free movement of labour lowers wages across the EU (that's the intention), free movement of capital supports the right of establishment, which has the effect of over-riding local conditions and union actions as well as resulting in e.g. utilities in one country being owned by a private company in another, with all the problems of controlling prices and sources of energy that causes; free movement of services puts people out of jobs, e.g. as long as all the participant countries follow the Civil Code legal actions, contracts etc can be done by any lawyer in the EU, thus putting jobs for lawyers in high-earning countries at risk - this goes for all services; free movement of goods means that a country cannot protect nascent industries or industries and services it needs e.g. the UK was told it could not give a contract for rail rolling stock to the local company (can't remember the name) the contract had to go to a non-UK bidder - this causes problems with local supply and lead to industries going bust or a whole tranch of interlocked industries disappearing, as light industry did in the West Midlands, causing unemployment for people in that region so that manufacturers in cheaper labour countries could build up their industry, and eventually lower wages across the EU. The EU is about big business, and is not interested in supporting SMES, which are a country's way of developing its own industry. Coupled with neo-liberalism (which is what globalism is all about) this leads to a perfect storm of unemployment, undermining of a country's soveriegnty to control its own industries and energy etc. Not wanting to be part of this is perfectly reasonable, esp as the UK is a Common Law country and the Civil Code rules mince that.
About actual question on this thread, my county is electing a Police Commissioner (an office I do not believe should be subject to election) and I voted in it for the first time (see brackets) thinking I would spoil my ballot but realising that there is blood on the ballot box and we all should use our votes. I ended up voting for the nut-job I thought probably knew what a woman was (he believes in ghosts etc and writes about them, but hey, he can probably run the police because he's the sitting candidate) and three out of the other four belonged to parties which, to my knowledge, don't. The final candidate was pro-Palestine, which was a no-no for me since Oct 7th. (Did add, that I was not invalidating my vote, but this office ought not to be subject to election.)So I suppose I voted on the woman issue, but will have to think again at a general election as the NHS, welfare state matter more (but then there is the vexed question of whether Labour will remove the phonics test as teaching unions want, even though it is the best way to see if a child can lift the words from the page, a necessary precursor to understanding what you are reading and enjoying reading).
