What gives you the faith that our utterly incompetent government , which you agreed with , is capable of doing this momentous task of leaving with EU and not damaging our country for decades to come ? There is nothing about the EU that suggests leaving in a way that ' s better than remaining is difficult . The EU is obviously harmful in terms of trade with the rest of the world , in terms of internal regulations , and in terms of economic stability . The only benefit it brings is freeer trade inside . Which given that this is a minority of our trade , and a shrinking one , doesn ' t strike me as worth the costs . Do you not have a point where you think the damage is too much to be worth leaving ? Yes . And that point is when the damage done by brexit is worse than the Eurozone crisis . And that ' s utterly implausible . Do you think that leaving the country in a worse off state for your potential children is a bad idea ? I do think that ' s a bad idea . That ' s why I want to leave the EU . Why do you think leaving and allowing this utterly incompetent and authoritarian government to run rough shod over our workers rights is worth it ? Yes because I ' m a liberal . Free contract is good . Liberal labour laws are beneficial . If you don ' t agree feel free to vote the tories out of office . without any dogmatic nonsense See here ' s the problem . Principles , that is the abstract axioms that underlie all our ideas , are easy to dismiss as dogmatic nonsense . I have certain ideas about overaching things I care about . I have a principle that it is better for my country to be rich than for it to be poor . I have a principle that mutually beneficial deals should be done , and that deals that harm one side should not . You have other ideals no doubt . Maybe you care about solidarity . Maybe you think that discrimination of the basis of place of birth is terrible . Your ideals are obvious and self evident to you . To me they are destructive and discredited dogmas . My ideals are obvious and selfevident to me . To you they are dogma .
