Why do the Tory Brexiteers want hard Brexit?

It's not because they want working class British people to take back control.

For hard-right revolutionaries, Brexit is cover for a different end

Nothing new there though is there.

It's just that right [i]now[/i] they've realized there's no more family silver to sell. No way to buy votes.....unless they intend embarking on a house building campaign not seen for forty years !
And a complete dearth of ideas from a political class that all went to university to study politics and forgot the previous 1000 years of British history !

@Picklebobble2 I know its not new but a lot of working class people have unwittingly voted for a chaotic ultra right wing overhaul that would devastate communities if it came to pass.

@Burnley123 Yep. And i'd expect political chaos for the next twenty years. Simply because the current crop of politicians hasn't the first clue in how to make a country self-sufficient !
This is why all attempts to dismantle the NHS; The House of Lords; The legal rights of citizenry etc need to be defended no matter the cost !

@Picklebobble2 Indeed. Whatever happens there will be times of chaos. The far right will do well if Brexit happens or if it doesn't happen.

@Burnley123 Oh the far right consider any infringement on their 'Yorkshire pudding' thinking an assault on 'human rights'!
They'll always appeal to the lonely and the lost whatever the political climate.

@Picklebobble2 I love Yorkshire pudding. My mother would make it every Thanksgiving.
