L00b Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 (edited) "The fragility of the EU is increasing," warns EU Commission chief Jean-Claude Juncker. "The cracks are growing in size." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-44632471 And that overshadows the UK exiting the EU on its ar5e WTO terms, how exactly? The history of the last 70-odd years shows that the EU, in its various successive guises, is a project in progress, always has been, and adapts to overcome adverse developments and conditions under the collective, pooled steerage of its members, always has done. The UK is looking in the abyss, on the eve of an economic correction, starkers and with plutocrats pushing hard at its back, with many of those captive within it cheering them on. I'm highly confident that you'll get your just desserts. Regrettably I'm equally confident those who'll have led you there, won't. Such is life.

Top Cats Hat Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 You have clearly shown you have no respect for the referendum result or any respect for the wishes of the people who voted to leave the EU. I have respect for the people who voted to leave the EU but even more respect for the majority of people in all parts of the U.K. who did NOT vote to leave. If we had a yes/no referendum on whether everyone should be given 10 million pounds next Xmas, I'm sure that the overwhelming majority would vote in favour but I wouldn't expect any government to take the result seriously as it would be almost impossible to do and would screw the economy at the same time.

The fact is 52% voted to leave and 48% voted to remain, which makes leave the winners in a democratic vote. The winner in any referendum is the option which receives over 50% of all votes counted. A referendum is the fairest way to decide which of two options for a democratic society to follow regarding a single issue. In a General Election in the UK, no ruling party has received over 50% of the vote since before the Second World War. For you to recycle the old chestnut that the referendum result was only advisory, shows your utter contempt for the democratic process. The fact is the UK Prime Minister has accepted the advice of the democratic UK people and the UK are leaving the EU. Imagine the outcry, if Remain had won the EU referendum and the UK Government did not to accept the advice of the democratic people and decided to exit the UK from the EU. In light of the now very frequent revelations about the leave campaigns why should the result be respected? Serious question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest directing your question to BAE or the government. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
