Nick Leslau, chairman of Prestbury Investments, has sought to further clarify his advocacy on Britain leaving the European Union following a “huge number of messages” following his Estates Gazette column from earlier this month.
In particular, Leslau highlights that just because there is uncertainty over the future post Brexit does not mean people should not vote to leave.
“Sometimes in life you don’t need to know where exactly you are going if where you are now, and where you have been in the past, informs you sufficiently to know you don’t want anything to do with either,” he said.
“It is a spurious argument in my view to suggest you need to know what comes next if you are not happy now. If you are in a challenged relationship is it really an imperative to have to know what comes next if you want to get out of it? ‘Better the devil you know’ is generally the rhetoric of ignorance and lack of ambition.”
In his column earlier this month Leslau argued that “the EU is utterly undemocratic” and the “European politics is inherently corrupt”.
