andyofborg Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I bet the Italians think it's interference. They are the third largest economy in the EU and the commission has never told anyone else that that they reject their budget. If that's not interfering I don't know what is. Some might do, but if you sign up to a set of rules and then don't follow them you can expect some consequences. Anyway, at the end they will do a deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil752 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Do you ever go to Greece? I’m there now, it is doing fine, economy on the up, new roads creating a much stronger infrastructure, sociable working hours for all. The Greeks I know, about a dozen of them after having worked in various projects with them, are all satisfied with the outcome and, more importantly, very pleased that their government is being kept in check by the EU. Greece got into the hole it got in by overspending on vanity projects and rubbish decisions by former governments. Every Greek will tell you that. The EU is pumping billions in strengthening infrastructure, agriculture and tourism whilst also funding nearly 100% of research output. I’d stop citing Greece to ‘support the cause’ if I were you, makes you look daft. where is the money coming from for all the infrastructure ? Weird how insecure you must be to end with lame attempt of a put down. ---------- Post added 23-10-2018 at 23:37 ---------- Yes they will. ---------- Post added 21-10-2018 at 17:29 ---------- Is that all you got? That they wont like the cold? Are you really saying a protest, should bring down democracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil752 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 If we had another referendum, it would be overwhelmingly in favour of remain. if it is another with similar vote count but in favor of remain, could we then have best out of 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiteowl Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 if it is another with similar vote count but in favor of remain, could we then have best out of 3. This would be best out of three, currently tied at 1-1 with the 1975 vote and the 2016 vote. Democracy I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top Cats Hat Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 if it is another with similar vote count but in favor of remain, could we then have best out of 3. Not a chance! If the 2016 was re-run tomorrow with only those who voted last time voting, apart from new 16-18 year olds and nobody changing their mind, Remain would win by a margin of about 1 million votes simply because of the replacement of dead predominantly leave voting old people with predominantly remain voting young people now being eligible to vote. In reality, a re-run would almost certainly bring out many more voters and the bad news for Brexit supporters is that the majority of people who didn't vote last time were remain supporters. Add to that the fact that many leave supporters have now changed their mind to remain but nobody who voted remain now supports leave as well as the fact that there will be a number of angry Brextremists who will refuse to take part in a second referendum, remain could feasibly end up with 65% to 70% of the vote and more importantly, OVER 50% of the electorate which is something that Vote Leave failed to do in 2016. In that case there may be a lot of crying on the leave side, but they won't get a fourth referendum in a million years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
