It's the main reason why Welsh devolution hasn't been great, from a strictly policy perspective.
It had no intrinsic need or interest in developing the economy to raise revenue.

This is not a story about Wales.
Also, there are campaigners on the other side who advocate allowing healthcare to be delivered if parents, medical experts, and the teenager all support it, rather than having a blanket ban.

20mph minutes demonstrably save 'ordinary people's' lives though.

The pre-boomer generation were as pro-Remain as Millennials.
It was very much a boomer cohort thing.

These days, you can't even say 'Hitler was right' without people saying that's a bit nazi.

This is also my gripe about terms like 'fuel poverty', 'food poverty', etc...
The problem is one of general poverty.
I've a related gripe about those who simultaneously call for a "de-growth" strategy and an anti-poverty one.

Virtually no-one in Britain has made the actual case for us being part of a USE, even - perhaps especially - those who call for us to rejoin.
Rejoining to leave later is idiotic; rejoining without support for a goal of USE is dishonest.

Another big reason is that it's reasonable to view 'the European Project' as a journey towards a type of US of Europe.

Mostly political.
Firstly, the amount of political effort involved would be immense and would suck up political energy for a decade.
