Letter to the I: Left Wing Brexiters Letter


With regards to Jack Wheatley’s letter, the extreme left has long had a tradition of being against the EU.  This tradition is riddled with contradictions.  The first one is their belief that EU regulations prevent Member States from creating more equitable and fulfilling societies.  This naturally ignores Member States who have better quality of life ratings than we do (ie Netherlands and Sweden).  Furthermore the Extreme Left see the EU as a mothership for unfettered capitalism while the hard right see it as the same for ‘strangling’ government regulation.  The problem is that they can’t both be right.
