Well I’m a remainer

But only because of economics. I think that leaving is going to be an economic catastrophe from which will take us 20 years to recover. So I’m against it.

But I think there are lots of “not economic” reasons which favour leaving and your line that “all leavers are thick because there’s no rational basis on which anyone could approve of leaving” really annoys me. Some of the cleverest people I know are leavers.

Much of this is slightly geeky constitutional stuff. But as a lawyer I have little respect for the ECJ, less for the European Parliament, and am totally in favour of our Supreme Court being the final court appeal and our parliament being solely responsible for our laws. Just as one example.

I’m not getting further involved because we’re all farting in a hurricane here, nothing we say makes a difference and I much much MUCH prefer this board as a venue for football, lunch and Webber conspiracy theories. But it’s just arrogant to say there aren’t any intellectually residctable arguments for leaving; there are.
