| Who really wins if the UK leaves the EU? |
As Britain's membership of the European Union (EU) hangs in the balance with a referendum looming, it is time for the left to take a serious look at the issue that none of us really want to talk about. A left-wing exit (lexit) is supported by some prominent socialists and seems to makes sense; of course we would want to leave an undemocratic, capitalist institution that puts big business interests before workers in favour of a socialist paradise where we are free to nationalise what we want and go after the tax dodgers; but is 'lexit' what's being offered here?
