Watching the Strictly Come Dancing (Dancing with the Stars) final last night, I was struck by the fact that the public voted not on the dancing expertise but the personalities involved. The same with Brexit it seems. So, ignoring personalities, let’s focus. The crux of the Brexiteer argument: over the last 40 years, too many immigrants (first from Asia, then from the EU) landed on this tiny island, overloading public resources and changing the character of the nation. The Remainers love the free access to mainland Europe and to trade across the continent to maintain economic stability. What do I think? We need to find a way for Britain to stay in the EU for economic and trade reasons but then change its rules from within. We should work to add a necessary clause in the EU rules to recognise that nations of a tiny size like Britain but also an economic magnet need an absolute immigrant-limit in order to function. Otherwise we’re dancing with disaster.
