American Brexit
PermalinkAmerican Brexit (members only article) from Taegen Goddard’s excellent Political Wire.
This has been my main source of political news for the past few months and my mental health is grateful for it. Highly recommend the subscription.
And Britain, according to independent estimates, is now 10% poorer than it would have been had it remained in the EU.
The public seems to agree. Recent polling shows more than two-thirds of Britons now believe Brexit has gone badly.
That’s not just buyer’s remorse—it’s the realization that an entire country willingly made itself poorer for the sake of ridiculous political slogans.
Now, apparently, it’s America’s turn.
Hoping that buyer’s remorse doesn’t last 10 years for the US.
