Current Affairs EU In or Out

[roydo]

you asked what I was looking forward to, I answered.

it appears that you are now jumping to the conclusion that is the reason that I voted leave which is an incorrect assumption.

and I can make an educated guess that your next question will be the standard one that gets asked in here ‘then why did you vote leave ?’ and my answer will be because of costa vs ENEL

Dont understand.

Kinda underlines why we need the EU to protect us from the demagogues we have in government at the moment. The Tories won't be happy until we're Hungary with plum accents.

I think this is probably a landmark for many, although I doubt many could cite the specific case. I'm curious (genuinely) what your thoughts are on the case?

Because personally, I can understand rationale that cites the precedent as a reason to not want to be part of the EU, but rarely do people actually gives reasons behind their own decisions.

Shame they didn't write Costa v ENEL on the side of the bus. Wouldve been a landslide.

I was not aware of the particular case until after the vote (as you can see I did a lot of reading after the event) I was aware to a degree that our laws could be overuled by others though, I didnt look into the specifics but that was my main reason. It is easier for me to now quote that case as it explains things a lot more clearly and concise than I could hope to do

I didnt look into the specifics

Lolling at this. "I've led a happy life and gallivanted around the world. Now that I've denied that possibility to the next generation, my retirement is complete"

Hahaha, denied it to you how exactly....

Hes had his life and enjoyed it. And it'll be a cold day in hell before he agrees to allow anyone younger to enjoy theirs in the way that they want to. Disgraceful, selfish attitude.

is that violins I can hear in the background....

So the facts of the case affirmed a decision you had already made? So what, out of interest, did you base your initial decision on, the precedent from it?

Sorry I've riled you Pete. Off to bed and fantasize about being Churchill ruling an empire you've actually had no part in building.

Personally I’m glad it’s gone and I’m glad I had no part in building it.....

Tbf, I might have misread this but

‘then why did you vote leave ?’ and my answer will be because of costa vs ENEL

It reads like you voted for Brexit because of Costa V ENEL, but weren't aware of the case until after the vote?
