why? just my opinion i suppose. I like democracy, etc etc etc, i f you mean why woill it get worse? then imo it's because we need to work together.
worse for democracy and progressiveness in which sense? do you think the EU is more progressive than the UK? because if that's not the case then leaving allows you more progressiveness than staying.
And at least currently, the center left and left in the UK poll very well, while in the rest of the EU, it's probably going to be the most rightwing election since we have european elections so...
As for democracy, how exactly is leaving a federation of states according to popular will "worse for democracy", i don't understand. What do you mean, in which sense?
You are right that for anything you need to coordinate with those countries, being out is worse. And the current situation wrt trade deals is a kind of a joke for the UK. But why using words as if they had no meaning? worse for democracy to leave the EU?? is switzerland not democratic because it isn't in the EU? Norway?
