He said that Brexit provided an opportunity to "change how things work", and called on the UK to seize the opportunity to leave the EU to promote economic transformation. Regarding her own political views on Brexit, monarchy, etc., Tras argued: "I believe that those who are consistent with their ideas at the age of 46 and 16, and who don't change anything, first of all, they may not be normal like me, and secondly, you know, I have the ability to learn from the mistakes I made, learn from the things I did, and then move on."
