In the South you have the two houses, totalling 218 politicians, so that would be £21.8billion to buy them off, that is, of course, over 2 years. So we'll call that £10.9billion a year, or roughly £2.3billion a year more than the net EU payment.
Sounds like a bargain, a free trade deal with one country, instead of 27, and it costs the country over 2 billion a year more than we're currently paying.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

Ten years time, with the accelerating wealth that we have gained from Brexit, we'll have bought over 26 of the other EU nations, and the old EU will end up as Germany all by itself - we will have engineered a Deutscxit, which perhaps turns out to have been our secret masterplan after all.
