Power no longer resides in the nation state, the investor classes have ensured that the laws of democracy can be tailored for corporate hegemony, SEZs, Freeports, tax havens and charter cities can under aggressive deregulation operate beyond Govt reach. #Brexit #Libertarian 
SEZs mean ‘localized freedom’ wrote Stuart Butler of Heritage Foundation in 1982, ‘can rot the foundations of the unfree nation state around it’. The UK will post Brexit see each region surrounding Sunak’s Freeports capitulate as capital flees to these deregulated ports. Carnage.
The social contract that saw 30-40 years of regulated and inclusive growth across all stratas of post war society angered the libertarian right, they called this ‘theft of their property’ and the 70s saw Reagan and Thatcher unravel this inclusive economic boom, Blair continued it
Make no mistake, the zone is built up of multiple acts of secession, offshoring wealth, private police, private schools, private healthcare. This requires a pliant public abdicating shared responsibility as rampant NIMBYism and profiteering establishes itself in gated communities
Tories believe in economic governance where citizens become customers in all of their daily interactions. Brexit is about 'deregulating laws into services that companies demand' - Shanker Singham. Brexit is the chance for libertarians to exit democracy and all accountability.
