Just prior to the June 2016 Brexit referendum, Gove, who was justice secretary in David Cameron’s government at the time, dismissed the all-but-unanimous view of economists and others that a decision to leave the European Union would deeply damage the British economy. “People in this country have had enough of experts,” Gove testily explained, referring to “experts from organizations with acronyms, saying they know what is best and getting it consistently wrong.”
Juste avant le référendum du Brexit de juin 2016, Gove, qui était alors Secrétaire de la justice dans le gouvernement de David Cameron, a rejeté l'avis quasi unanime des économistes et d'autres selon lequel une décision de quitter l'Union européenne allait profondément mettre à mal l'économie britannique.
