Does not take Einstein to work out that you probably voted Brexit, and it is obvious why, do don't really get what it is all about. The EU is a brutal capitalist organisation that is trying to improve the wealth of its citizens, by, being blunt, creating the environment for businesses to make more money. One of the most important aspects of that environment, is that it has to be a level playing field, in that companies in one country cannot undercut companies in another. Hence labour law and environment regulations, etc. are standardized. Imagine if a pharmaceutical company in Spain undercuts the prices of a competitor in Germany because the Spanish government are relaxed about them polluting their local river, while the German company pays a fortune handling its waste. In fact that is why Corbyn hates the EU, he wants the power to be able to subsidize/nationalise companies. Once again imagine how the German government would feel if their industry is loosing businesses to inferior UK ones because the UK government is supporting them. In fact that is currently happening with China.Originally Posted by Witton Park
Corporation tax rate, is another way counties can undercut each other and the EU are rightly pissed off with Ireland, but can do nothing about it because corporation tax is a national issue not an EU issue.
