Another Prime Minister Couldn't negotiate a better Brexit deal.

... Apart from maybe the Norway option, which involves staying in the Single Market and customs union.

Yanis Varoufakis, an ex Greek finance minister and economics professor, who knows about negotiating with the EU:

I think yanis speaks a lot of sense but I don't think you can democratise the eu from within as he is suggesting. I hope diem25 will pick up some votes but I doubt that it will make much of a difference

@gol979 Completely agree. His critique of Brexit is on the money but I don't think the EU can be reformed. Diem and another Europe is possible are naive on that. The best remain argument is just to say Brexit is worse. Much worse.

@Burnley123 I disagree. The eu have shown their true colours. Even with Italy a few weeks ago. Also, it must be both the Tories and eu that have insisted on the laws to be passed on state aid, which is basically taking back sectors into the public ownership. There are good things about the eu but we can improve on every aspect, barring freedom of movement

@gol979 I don't think lexit is a tenable project or that corbyn could negotiate a much better deal. I wish I was wrong.
