Has Brexit become some kind of religion?

But we believe we're better off in (to the limited extent we were in and subject to caveats) than out, in all sorts of ways.Comment

We could ask the same thing of economists. I visited two of the Mayan Temples in the summer and one of the guides gave a really good description of the ceremonies at Tulum he explained how the ruling classes told everyone how different they were and how clever and in tune with the gods. They conducted intense rituals that made them seem god like to the locals and pretended they knew when the best day was to plant corn by looking at smoke.... they did all sorts of things to hold their power but in the end were just clueless when the tides and winds turned against them...
How different is spouting _Theories_ about various dead economists and predicting what a graph will do tomorrow?Comment

Although I agree that economics is not a science (micro economics has had some success, macro economics less so).
But when I say that a no deal Brexit will be a problem economically, I'm not using economic theory for that, just common sense.Hard Brexit now!

A no-deal Brexit won't be a 'problem' it'll just be different. I really do fail to see why so many seem to be wetting themselves over it. It doesn't help to predict disasters, or to place much trust in them. Judgement is often faulty on daily matters, let alone anything beyond next Tuesday.Comment

No prizes for you, that's for sure.Comment

For remain ultras, I think it has become a spiritual state of embitterment, yes. It's a head explosion of indefinite duration.Comment
