Working Class First
Gotta love that leave-logic; the economy is growing in the single market; let's leave the single market! Genius.
Interesting. As the Democrats in America recently discovered economic growth at a macro level butters no parsnips if the benefits of that growth is not shared out or is merely funnelled to the rich and corporations.
Is the remain worldview that if working class Poles want out of the EU - because they perceive no personal improvement to their personal standard of living - that they should pipe down lest the wider EU single market project be weakened? Or, put another way, that they should accept their own circumstances are secondary and hope that some of the economic growth might trickle down?
Incidentally, there is evidence that the actual slowdown in economic growth in Poland, and the stagnation of wages, is due to external factors - the weak eurozone being the most prominent:
Polish GDP growth slows due to weak domestic trade and external demand
There was a slowdown in Poland's GDP in the third quarter, but we expect to see improvement next year
