I'd say Brexit is a change from one set of rules to the other, but I would not call EU or GB free markets or capitalist states, as major parts of economies are heavily regulated, including agricultural and money sector (central banking). I dislike decentralisation as war analogy, it is anything but war.

#12This is a list of points without much justification. It reads like the author is just pushing their own ideology and projecting it onto what's happening to the UK. Then around point 16 he straight up jumps into conspiracy theory teritory when he talks about "money's overlords". Kind of disappointing that this post somehow made it to the front page.

The EU may be many great things, but democratic it is not - particularly when compared to a democratic national government.

It would very naive to believe extremely wealthy interests did not play a very large part in Brexit. One example of such dark money is the funnelling of half a million euro through Northern Ireland [1] to influence London voters. [1] https://www.irishtimes.com/opinion/what-connects-brexit-the-...
