国际英语资讯:Interview: Britain to be better off after Brexit: House of Cards author

Powell worked for Margaret Thatcher and then John Major as their private secretary from 1983 to 1991, and saw at first hand how foreign relations were created and handled by Britain.

"I think Charles is 100 percent wrong on that," said Dobbs. "Couldn't be more wrong."

Dobbs said he believes that Thatcher would have found the way that the EU operates "intolerable."

BREXIT TO BE WORTH IT

Dobbs is certain Brexit will deliver a better future for Britain outside the EU than it would have within the bloc.

"I'm not a fan of the way that the EU has been organized and moves for," he said. "There's nothing wrong with the principle of it ... it's the practice of it that I think has held it back economically, socially and is now cause of all sorts of problems throughout Europe."

The senior Conservative said that Europe politically is unstable.

"It's filled with uncertainty and part over that is down to the way that the EU has operated and continues to operate," he said.

Britain's decision to leave in 2016 is non-negotiable, Dobbs said. And a reversal of the decision is intolerable in the view of Dobbs.

"I could not believe what Britain be like if it changed its mind and went back to the EU and said 'sorry we made this huge mistake, we really want to be in'," said Dobbs.

But he stressed that it's not about being anti-anything, but about a positive future. "It's simply about the positive future that I believe that Britain would make for herself."
