1/ Brexit Benefits. Die-hard remainers often make the claim that, when confronted, respecters of direct democracy cannot name one single #BrexitBenefit. Well here’s a few potential benefits available after we leave the EU…

3/ Brexit Benefits: When we leave the EU, we, not Brussels, will get to decide what projects in UK get funding. Currently, not only is it our own money, but to add insult to injury, Brussels decides how our own money is spent!

4/ Brexit Benefits: EU project funding using our money have to be emblazoned with the relevant logo, conning people into thinking it’s EU money. It’s not. Post Brexit we can rightly claim that piece of currently misdirected prestige for ourselves.

5/ Brexit Benefits. Out of the UK, we’ll be subject to less onerous WTO state aid rules. Recent example of more onerous EU state aid rules is former sports car maker TVR’s much welcomed re-birth unnecessarily delayed.

6/ Brexit Benefits. We can establish properly operational Free Trade Zones, previously not viable inside EU (why they were allowed to lapse). Mixed views, but here’s a very good article explaining the benefits post Brexit, e.g. hard pressed UK retail.

7/ Brexit Benefits. “Brexit creates a golden opportunity to regain 70% of the UK’s fisheries resources & rejuvenate a multi-billion pound industry for the nation – becoming as sustainable & successful as Norway, Iceland & Faroe.”

8/ Brexit Benefits. We can establish free trade agreements which suit the UK and not diluted over the diverse interests of 27 other countries, or in the interests of the Brussels elite if exclusive competence (a now favoured route).

9/ Brexit Benefits. We get to keep 100% of tariff proceeds, rather than hand over 80% (shortly likely to become 90%) to Brussels.

10/ Brexit Benefits. We can set tariffs to suit our own commerce and consumer interests. In fact the DIT have already published its tariff schedule, which has been recently up-dated. We are & will be free to do this outside of a customs union.

11/ Brexit Benefits. Simple one here - A clean Brexit will cement UK direct democracy as having been truly honoured and be seen to be truly honoured.

12/ Brexit Benefits. Over onerous directives can be re-designed to improve our international competivity, i.e. MIFID II - Even the Germans are critical, for example:

14/ Brexit Benefits. We can design an immigration policy that’s fairer to all world citizens, rather than discriminatory against ‘rest of world’.

15/ Brexit Benefits. Whilst some co’s may re-shore to mainland Europe, many will choose to re-shore back to UK, i.e. McLaren composite chassis mfg from Austria to England, enhancing efficiencies, reducing costs & cutting unwelcome environmental issues.

16/ Brexit Benefits. If UK exports are hindered by new (EU) barriers they’ll be diverted back to the home market. In the same vein EU imports will be displaced by UK production & imports from 3rd countries we already have FTA’s agreed.

20/ Brexit Benefits. The Commission is pushing to create a ‘level playing field’ on corporation tax, the average of which is 22.5%, 3.5% higher than the UK’s current rate (planned to be lower). Out of the EU, we can do what we want.

21/ Brexit Benefits. The Commission is pushing to remove the veto in remaining areas incl. tax (see 20/). Although it faces an uphill struggle, the EU hierarchy never gives up and, outside of the EU, we’ll be free of that very real risk.
