In four and a half years the people of the U.K. can vote Boris Johnson out of office. The people of the U.K. could not vote Juncker out of office. The U.K. has been a net contributor to the EU/EEC/CM since it joined. The EU continues to sell far more to the U.K. than the U.K. sells to the EU. The EU is still moving irreversibly, step by pernicious step, into becoming the USE. It seeks to be ‘the big player’ with its own EU army, sucking in more Eastern countries, none of whom have any understanding or commonality with each other, while putting Russia under more and more pressure. For a long time on here, Remainers kept saying that the U.K. is a small country, and while that is not quite correct in many respects I quite like the idea of the U.K. just being a country willing to work with any other, developing its own trade, without having to ask another 27 countries to agree. I also prefer not to have our military sucked into any EU army. The U.K. is a decent size, has a good economy, is friends with most countries around the world, is able to defend itself and does not need another level of politicians in Brussels dictating our future...we can stand on our own two feet.
I saw sense in joining the Common Market and voted to remain in it. Neither you nor I voted for the EU. If it was still an economic grouping I would still vote to remain, but it isn’t, it’s a political project of which I want no part for myself nor my family. In the four years since we voted I have seen nothing to suggest we made the wrong decision and indeed have only seen my views reinforced by the way the EU is operating and dealing in a high handed manner with a former member......
