UK to leave EU

[abaris]

Well, European liberalism was based off of laissez faire capitalism (there really isn't any other kind) historically. For example Keynes economic ideas went that way until he started running the numbers.

Yeah, I know that. But based on what the german FDP stood for before going all out on neo liberalism and based on what our late Liberal Forum stood for, they were most of all social liberals. Meaning gay marriage, privacy rights, the lot. Heck, the late Guido Westerwelle, former leader of the FDP, apart from being a neoliberal too, was the first openly gay minister of foreign affairs - ever, to my knowledge.

So there are parts I subscribe to. But not enough to subsrcibe to buy the whole package, since, like any force running unchecked, unchained capitalism isn't a good thing.
