    Brexit, for once some facts.

    yes, I do, sort of. I think there are a lot of diffrences between the 28 member countries. To create a positive force for mixing races and equalizing the living standard among EU members is a good thing but to remove all the barriers at once by treaty is to me not smart. I would like to see the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    flud, it seems half the country don't like the Maastricht Treaty that John Major signed in 1992. We can of course get out as we possibly are going to. Getting back in will take a lot longer than 2 years, more likely to be 10, and with the terms a lot less generous that what Thatcher, Major and...

    what Cameron wanted is a substantial treaty change, that can't be done until the next treaty, when Albania or Serbia or Montenegro joins the EU. In the meantime, Cameron was offered the next best deal, an agreement of all the 28 heads of state. Laws made by the EU club must be agreable by all 28...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    flud, as you already knew, two out of three new laws are made nowadays in Brussells. Try to list some of the worst laws coming from the EU that you think should not apply here and that our PM should have opposed. I think you may find the task more difficult than you imagined.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    monetary union and fiscal union are only for the Eurozone members. My guess is that the EU will wise up after seeing the mistakes made by Eurozone countries. I personally would like the EU to drop its utopian goals and adopt a more practical approach to freedom of movement, giving the nationals...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    half the population don't want the inconveniences, that's for sure, but how many of them will hesitate before ticking the leave box in the poll booths? I guess may be more than 5%. In truth, very few of us pensioners are personally suffering any inconvenience of the things that Brexiters are...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    migration so far is the result of market forces, we are doing better than the rest of the EU countries, so people come here to look for work, they certainly don't come here for the weather.
