What's the point of trying to convince a side that has farmers who are being damaged but would still vote to leave knowing it could put them out business and knowing they will be putting other people out of business.

There people aren't Eurosceptics anymore.
They aren't sceptical of Europe, because that would mean actually acknowledging European benefits after subjecting them to scepticism.
When did we ever see that?

Scepticism of the European project could possibly involve being sceptical of the negatives, which we never see.
People in the UK will cite contradictory negatives of the EU precisely because they haven't subjected them to any scrutiny.
Now we're at the point where people are saying they are happy to damage themselves personally, their professions, and the country itself.
Any why? For a power grab by some of our parliamentarians.
That is who ends up with the sovereignty return, not the people.
If this was control that went back to the people, why are we doing a trade deal that our farmers don't want?
This venture of politicians was never about giving the people back control.
And with all this sovereignty, can the UK solve the problem with the NIP?
No, of course not.
No, of course not.
We shared large amounts of sovereignty with the EU precisely because we needed to share our sovereignty to solve certain problems.
So what Brexit actually amounts to is politicians convincing people they are taking back control, when in fact the politicians are the ones getting more power that they intend to do whatever they want with.
A political movement that insisted we can solve our problems if we have more sovereignty, but in fact, turning our international sovereignty into national sovereignty created very serious problems for this country that all the national sovereignty in the world can't solve.
In the face of self-harm, if they haven't sat down and worked out who is gaining and who is losing yet, they probably will never come to this realisation.
My tip for today is don't try and engage in rational debate with someone lining up for the Kool-Aid.
It's a complete waste of time.
