Brexit Metaphor No 128
The EU is to European prosperity what industrial chemistry is to the modern economy: an important foundation of industry that is nowadays entirely hidden from view. As a result of the lack of visibility, very few people understand or even suspect that such elaborate chemical manufacturing processes exist and at such a large scale. Similarly, few people can appreciate the complexity and interlinkages within the EU.
On the other hand, Brexit is alchemy: a series of experiments that aim to create gold in the most unscientific way.
