Yet you all keep ignoring the fact that its not a choice between the EU and Archived Message

...something different, is it? The UK isn't "something different." Quite the contrary: its been the biggest promoter and exporter of the very same neoliberal economics and Austerity under both the Tories and Labour: that very philosophy you all claim we will be escaping in leaving the EU is promoted by the establishment you are delivering even more power to. As DJ says, its fantasy because there is no socialist alternative on offer. Labours economic policy is still neoliberal: austerity with a few frills, and under the Tories Brexit is more likely to facilitate more extreme neoliberalism in the UK. The majority of people who voted Brexit: Tories and Kippers, aren't exactly screaming for a new socialist utopia either, so why some of you think its a good idea is beyond me: it's voting to be up shit creek without a paddle and with a bunch of geriatric gammons for company.
