“Why does everyone mention brexit?” - everyone that voted for brexit.

This doesn't seem very casual.

Its not, but much like the European Court of Human Rights post I made, it needs discussing. It needs to be a conversation everyone is having about how much of a mess the Conservatives are making.

I was very surprised to see Douglas Carswell as the author of that piece. Weirdly he seems to be suggesting what Ireland has inside the EU would be best for Britain. A low tax haven for corporates to invest with easy movement of labour via reduced regulatory burdens. Interesting given he was a UKIP MP. Interesting.
