Current Affairs EU In or Out

[magicjuan]

You said the leave campaign 'didn't use an anti-establishment slant to gain support'.

One of the most prominent figures literally said 'it's us versus the establishment'

There were no caveats, it's quite clear that they did. You even accepted that you hadn't seen that.

A protest vote for a campaign which had the highest percentage of MPs in government doesn't really make sense either. But I suppose that's the point in all this.

and as I explained, to Farage, the 'establishment' was the EU beauracracy and the union itself, not the Westminster bubble.
Amongst the total confusion of the campaigning on both sides reasons were omitted and as I have stated many times on here, imho, it was all drawn down to immigration, even the economic and democratic elements were relegated to the margins.

The entire thing was a stitch up and should never have been a straight yes or no vote without a precentage breakwater. Nor should the campaigns have been based on degrees of bigotry.

In a single market of punctuation @peteblue and @Joey66 would be able to trade full stops readily, Pete getting rid of his excess supply and Joey to the relief of all can form sentences once more.

However given both have left the single market and are dependent on punctuation quotas from the WTO which are still being negotiated, it seems unlikely that punctuation trade will re-commenced before 2025.

Just for fun, imagine that the EU had the power to expel the UK from the EU and the single Market. Now imagine that they actually did that. We are out....... So what would you propose now.......

Emigration

Pete how is it the EU could do that and yet we have to trigger article 50 to start to leave and that will take 2 or more years.

I know what you are suggesting but imagine if the difference either way on a % shelf was small, we would yet again be in the stupid state of flux that we are now and no doubt arguments would arise. Nice idea mate but there are always imponderables.

All baring the far right Tories would oppose any proposals that would result in us losing our access to the single market.

People have accepted the result, we're leaving the EU, but what rightly hasn't been accepted is that has to come with the cost of torpedoing our economy by losing our single market access.

Question - Did we ever vote to join the single market? Oh no, we didnt.
