melthebell Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Brexit related, i read this earlier. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-43078920 Anthony Painter, director of the RSA's Action and Research Centre, said: "The simple fact is that too many households are highly vulnerable to a shock in a decade of disruption, with storm clouds on the horizon if automation, Brexit and an ageing population are mismanaged. I know it will get slagged off by leavers BUT it DOES need to be on the mind, families like me, and with less incomes, and possibly even a bit more it will be an issue with the loss of jobs in the coming decades.

apelike Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 You appear to be describing democracy and then complaining about it. Not complaining just stating the obvious as a member state has a 1 in 27 chance of having a say on some proposal and then even less chance of having that accepted. ---------- Post added 17-02-2018 at 14:52 ---------- Brexit related, i read this earlier. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-43078920 I know it will get slagged off by leavers BUT it DOES need to be on the mind, families like me, and with less incomes, and possibly even a bit more it will be an issue with the loss of jobs in the coming decades. What loss of jobs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1 in 27 thing ceases to be true in terms of policy development. Everything is weighted towards the bigger countries, which was why the U.K. had a disproportionately big say in policy, and did economically well while in the EU. Compare the U.K. of 1973 to now, and also consider that many of the measures that (rightly or wrongly) drove our economic success happened while in the EU and were also instrumental in changing the direction of travel of the EU. Incidentally much of it was crafted by the 1980s U.K. governments: Big Bang in the city, financial passporting, single market etc... The Tory Brexiters are doing nothing less than unpicking the work of their heroine. It’s quite ironic really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a 27/27 chance of having a say on some proposal,take the UK Brexit negotiation,they will all have a say on if what is agreed is acceptable,they all have to agree that it is acceptable.

I agree that our democracy is rather poor, but was don't you like? The bedroom tax, cap on benefits, NHS funding per patient reducing, A+E waiting time targets missed or wages rising slower than prices? Perhaps you can tell us what will change because we are leaving the EU? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes you think staying in the EU will do anything about those particular things, baring in mind we were in the EU when they came in? Those things are a separate issue to our EU membership anyway, so a total red herring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
