Please reread my post as this is literally the question i answered.

If you want TLDR: tax haven abusers want brexit to be done by christmas regardless of national damage. Representives of the people want a responsible brexit that won't strip away workers or human rights, food standards etc nor cause war with Ireland.

It's funny that these so-called representatives of the people claim to be so concerned about worker's rights, but where were they when the EU empire expanded eastwards bringing with it a huge supply of labour for whom UK wages were way above what they could expect in their own country. It's no coincidence that wages only started rising above the rate of inflation after the Brexit vote when EU migration dropped.

Human rights aren't changing - we're still signed up to the ECHR which has nothing to do with the EU.

On food standards the EU hardly has room to gloat here - in the UK thanks to EU food laws we've had horse meat sold as beef in UK supermarkets, and rotten chicken imported from Poland. At least if we control our own food standards we can actually hold our own government to account for these sort of failures. Did any EU official resign over the above two scandals? Were they even scrutinised in any way?

The UK is far from perfect on enabling tax avoidance, but the EU is no better. Consider that the infamous Double-Dutch and Double-Irish tax avoidance schemes, that the mega corps exploited with glee, were both permitted under EU rules. Not sure where this theory about 'aristocrats' wanting Brexit comes from. Who exactly do you mean by the aristocrats anyway? As far as I can see they don't have much power at all these days and half of them are broke anyway.
