Workers have a long history of being taken for granted and trated poorly, but that has improved over time and the EU has broadly been a positive driver of that. But it's ok to disagree with this and/or not see the value in protecting workers' rights.

We will not be in a better overall position on trade or tax revenue, regardless of what new trade deals we make, the rest of the world won't make up for the loss in trade casued by leaving the EU, and I don't think anyone sensible thinks it will, even the most optimistic think we have a net loss over any given short to medium term period. Long term nobody knows anything.

As for you stating you would take x job, the fact that you haven't says otherwise.You probably aren't fit enough to pick fruit all day long for 3 months, and it's likely you're too lazy.

The sovereinty/democracy issue is bullshit to me. There's going to be a bunch of people making decisions, we have limited power to impact this: see Iraq war, I don's see much difference between a bunch of people in Europe vs a bunch of People in Britain making decisions. None of them care what we really think. This falls exactly into the points I was making. I mean technically there's something there, but ultimately it's bullshit.

Your benefits may increase now, but it's not just the benefits you personally receive I'm referring to. It's looking at those who are net recipients of tax vs those who are net contributers. You are a net recipient. If we look at healthcare, scoial care, education family benefits, unemployment benefits, long term sick benefits etc the poorer you are, the more you need these government provided aspectts of life, and I think the poorer people will lose out first when the belt gets tightened, as has been the case with austerity over the last decade, and as will be the case with any economic woes caused by Brexit.

For me, as an employer and business owner, reduced workers rights benefit me (thoretically if not actually), lower taxes benefit me. And if you are wealthy enough you see a bigger benefit than the relativelyto the tiny benefit I will see. I still don't see any benefit for the average working class indivdual, or the underclass of the chronically unemployed. But hey, hang around where I spend my increased net of tax income and maybe some of it will trickle down to you.
