Comment on Half of Reform voters think Britain should have closer ties to the EU, poll shows

They suffer under the illusion that the UK is somehow better than all EU nations and should therefore have a stronger relationship as the dominant party. They sit there and imagine the UK saying to the continent:
“You will give us all your good stuff, allow us to holiday on your beaches, and in return we will grace you with our presence when we feel like it.”
It’s utterly delusional of course, but Reform is not a party of facts.

Though that’s not to say that Britain wouldn’t be a valuable asset

Asset in partnership, absolutely, but there’s a sizable chunk of this country sees treating other nations as equals as “losing”.
