The most damaging #Brexit Myth: “The UK could keep all the benefits of EU membership with none of the obligations.”
Many Brexiteers genuinely believed:
- the EU would prioritise trade over rules
- the EU would split internally
- the EU would treat the UK as exceptional
None of these things happened because:
- the single market only works because its rules are non‑negotiable
- Brexit made the 27 more united than ever
- the EU applied the same terms to everyone
Until the papers and 1/3rd of the nation stop flying into a rage at mention of the #EU , any government can only "cherrypick"
The UK needs a massive education campaign before it can cooperate more fully with the EU.
Sadly, the UK seems to have never been able to do that. And I don't expect it to start now. The people behind Brexit are more powerful now.
"Global Britain” - returning to a more independent global role and reviving global trade networks, and the Commonwealth reconnected - a nostalgia
The "They needs us more than we need them" attitude. The idea that only one side is the rule‑maker - a great‑power nostalgia
That UK is just middle power, right at the shore of a new kind of power - the EU - with a no longer so special "special relationship with the US" - no nostalgia
