What is the alternative? The Labour Party has laid out six tests for Brexit that are designed to address the Labour Party’s problems rather than Britain’s. Labour does not want to be seen to question the will of the people but it dearly loves the EU, so its prescription for a good deal is that Britain remains wedded in perpetuity to European structures and European-style regulations. That would be a tragedy. How awful if Britain was to go through everything it has – decades of debate, a divsive referendum and tortuous divorce proceedings – only to emerge almost exactly the same as it was before. This would be bad news for the economy, too, which will need to become deregulated and competitive.
