Plus we'd have to take the Euro which means ceding huge amounts of soft power away from London and to Frankfurt
But then if we had a strong government, Cameron would have had the balls to say, "Cheers for your opinion, fuck off, stupid turkeys voting for Christmas"

I'm no Brexit apologist, I was no brexiteer at the time either
However I'm genuinely unsure at the moment, a strong government would remember that 90% of EU trade deals were British deals grandfathered in when we joined the EEC, and that by rights we should still be able to use them and update them

You talk a lot of sense
Reversing it however is a madness now. We have to find a way to lead from the outside, rejoining will make us weaker as we'll never get as favourable terms as we previously had

TBF Given the way numbers work, nearly 50% HAVE to be below average
And I'd bet given the amount of films we never even hear of let alone see, I'd wager that actual average is a lot lower standard than we think it is

It's a drum I've been banging for about two decades now, so I've maybe brainwashed myself a little bit
