Current Affairs EU In or Out

[Number_25]

Ugh.

It's called the democratic vote mate.........17.4 million foolslollollollollollollollollol

That was two years ago Joe, I clearly stated that in the current situation the best thing to do would be remain, though for me it doesn't change much but I would hope some of the 17 mill would be open to admitting they made an honest mistake

Well, this might be too:

This is essentially Goodwin law in reverse.

Given that you can't get a prescription filled in another Province in Spain,that's good news.

Right, and I can't imagine a French pharmacist accepting a foreign ordonance either.

For what feels like the billionth time, why isn't it? It's not enough to just say it's not better; give me firm, tangible reasons we'll be better off outside it please.

Because I believe it will ultimately stunt our economic growth. The EU is a reducing market, both in terms of our exports to them and compared to world gdp and growth. The Eu is engaged in transferring both money and manufacturing from the West to the East, neither of which you have ever voted for......

 

[peteblue]

Plenty of fools around, sheer tribalism or worse at this stage, there is zero logic to brexit

So what are all the benefits of being in the EU again......

Why, would you change your mind Pete?

Key word highlighted.

People believe that a hidden planet is going to smash into earth and destroy it; doesn't mean there's any basis behind that belief.

You basically have nothing but blind faith.

If they dropped the intention of a super state and the ‘harmonising’ of everything and spent more time looking out than looking in, possibly......

No I have facts that show that the EU percentage of world gdp is falling. I have the facts that show growth is behind the rest of the world, I have facts to show that our exports to the EU as a percentage of our total exports are falling. These are all facts......

You know the UK has/had a veto, right?
Anyway, the closer Mueller gets to Bannon, the more uneasy Farage will become.
Brexit was bought and paid for by Putin.

Well following that logic, when/if our trade with the EU grows, you would want to rejoin then.

In a global world, harmonisation is inevitable as it makes trading globally that much easier. Similarly, the various projects that allow digital health records to easily flow throughout Europe make complete sense, but to do so would require a degree of harmonisation (or standards) to be adopted to allow ease of sharing.

It's no different to something like the Internet. If every country went as the French tried to and have their own networking protocols, it would be rubbish, as the French system was. If we had harped on about sovereignty then we'd have our own version of Minitel and no doubt feel really smug about it.

There is a stated intention to remove the veto on an ever widening set of policy areas. The Veto will eventually disappear....

If our trade with them grows, then the need to be a part of them disappears at the same time......
