So yeah, if you're worried about fascism on a global scale this isn't a good example. The EU is basically telling one of its member states that fascism is frowned on, and preparing to punish it for ignoring that. I'm ok with that.
OTOH, if you're keen that the UK use its newfound sovereignty to repress minorities and intimidate judges, then leaving was a great idea. No more Eurolibtards and their "rights" and "democratic institutions." #MEGA
