'traitors'?
https:/
Conservative party members seem to prefer Brexit to the preservation of the United Kingdom, the preservation of the Conservative party, and the economic wellbeing of this country. The only thing they seem to worry about is Mr Corbyn. Who are the 'traitors' and the 'enemies of the people'?

If the (very) minor constituents of the UK prefer to detach themselves from one Union in preference for another that's their affair. I have no real attachment to them. But I do want to see the UK leave the EU (properly). It should be remembered, of course, that although Scotland and Northern Ireland voted to remain in the EU their electorates form only a small part (around 10%) of the total electorate. The idea that 10% of the electorate should somehow threaten the other 90% by chucking their toys from the pram because they cannot have their way is slightly amusing.

They don't prefer it to the economic wellbeing of the country. They prefer it to preserve the economic wellbeing of the country. They certainly prefer it to a Corbyn government. Those concerned about a "No Deal" Brexit need not worry about Brexit at all if Mr Corbyn gets the keys to No 10 as they will have far, far more important matters to worry about.

"...when did oranges become a luxury item,"
Interesting that you should mention oranges, douglas. A year or so ago the EU increased the import tariff on oranges from outside the EU from 3.2% to 16%. This was to "protect" the Spanish orange growers who were said to be suffering a decreasing market share. A similar move was recently made on rice imports to "protect" the miniscule number of growers of rice in the south of the continent.
Following )a proper) Brexit the UK will be able to immediately remove those tariffs (and many, many others) which are designed to protect industries in which we have little or no interest. It will no longer have to participate in the EU's protection racket.
