    The fact that Powell and Benn appear to agree on something shows that what they appear to agree on isn't really the same thing. My guess is that, though they both favoured an exit from 'Europe', only Powell would have been a Brexiteer. The EU (including the UK, of course) showed with Greece that they will impose neoliberal economics, austerity and public sector cuts on struggling member states in return for their largesse. Benn wouldn't have wanted anything to do with that. He was a socialist after all. His view was that while there was zero chance of democratic socialist change in the EU, there was a good chance in a sovereign UK.
