We were kinda on that trajectory anyway EU or no EU because we centralised our entire economy inside one ring road and if you remove London from the equation we’re basically destitute. Literally just a collection of investment banks, consultants and raytheon with some pharma sprinkled on top oh and we did export lots of gambling but regulations come in recently put a stop to that lawl.

Our main actual real material thing we make and export is cars but not sure how long that will last. Especially considering car sales are plummeting and brexit made it a lot more costly to export them. Main reason they were made here is cos our wages were so dogshit it was cheaper than anywhere else in Europe lel.

The reality is the economy was always shit for anyone not working in London and most brits have always been pretty reactionary. Reforms success largely comes from the failure of the tories otherwise this would still be a strong tory country basically forever
