It really is the real raison d'etre for Brexit. Most people who blithely voted for it thinking it was all about the Flag, Blue Passports and banishing Johnnie Foreigner were duped. The real reason for it is to remove all regulation, constrain worker rights and thereby boost the prosperity and power of the top elite within an idyllic state of Singapore on Thames. Far from a vote to restrain the elite, it would afford them plenary and dictatorial power.
