53. That's because

Brexit was occupied by a big part of the popular right and the nationalists. Millions of Britons have voted for Brexit. Doesn't mean that all of them are right-Wing. They just see that the EU has become a neoliberal monster. So, really it doesn't matter who will dismantle the labor rights. The popular right will do it inside or outside the EU. That's not the issue here. Brexit is only a step towards the resistance against what Europe has become. Europe needs a restart towards the direction of humanitarian values. Right now, has become a feud of the banksters and the lobbyists. Sorry that I spoil your dream, but there is no other way right now. Either EU will break up and European countries will start again a new cooperation based on the humanitarian values, or, it will walk into an era of a new Feudalsim.
