Should the UK remain a part of the EU or leave?

Poll closed Jun 24, 2016.

  2. Get out

  1. You have to give the PM some credit for her inclusive approach - she appears to be hell bent on ensuring that 100% of the country will be hacked off with the outcome...

    Just say I don't want to answer that question as it will make me look foolish. As for goldy, he made a statement, I questioned it and got no reply except how powerful this man tusk is over British lives. Give me some examples then mate. He spends our money....erm how exactly? Lightbulbs and hoovers...oh that explains it. You are actually a stereotypical brexiteer ellers, Says things but cant back them up. Goldy I thought more of until that statement which even he knows was a bit silly. You crack on ellers, avoiding anything that will upset your apple cart. Put me on ignore if you cant handle being pulled on your nonsense and don't be scared of answering that simple question, the whole country wouldn't like to although some have more integrity than others.

    Will try a different approach. Will you please answer my question, pretty please ellers. Pretty pretty please. Did you UNDERSTAND that when you voted leave, a deal would be propositioned by our PM, to be agreed upon by the EU, for her to then tear it up and go back asking for an alternative to her propositioned deal? It's a very straight forward yes or no answer that's required really. You mock me for saying that I didn't understand. I fully admit that hence not being able to make my mind up when voting.

    I’m afraid not Bob, after that date we lose our veto, as does every other country in the EU.

    Like a man laughing on his way to the gallows, not because he did anything wrong, simply because he couldn’t be bothered to read the charge sheet to see what the crime was and pleaded guilty hoping it was a minor charge, and not one that threatened his existence !!

    Like Mr Surrey says
    Half the country will still be pissed off so to me that has always been the focus point

    How can half the U.K. drive the country forward ?
    It will plate spinning for decades
    No change or reform to U.K. politics so imagine mini Brexits on every new law that needs to be written

    Culturally we will want to spend as we did and lump up debt while pretending we are world leaders

    Meanwhile the clock is ticking
    Imo get out and live a bit

    Can you post a link to the part of the Treaty that says this? I can’t find it. The EU is responsible for monetary policy (not fiscal policy which includes tax) for all countries which have adopted the Euro. The Treaty gives it powers over tax in relation to the working of the Single Market - every change has to be unanimously agreed in the Council of Ministers (not the EU Commission or EU Parliament) ie the elected heads of member states governments.

    https://ec.europa.eu/taxation_custo...-strategy/lisbon-treaty-tax-legislation-eu_en

    Of course if you don’t like the very idea of the EU, which has the aim of economic integration from which fiscal and political integration is an inevitable consequence, you won’t like anything about it and should get out. Usefully the Treaty of Lisbon provided the legal means for member states to leave through Article 50. You might have noticed that this is what the UK is attempting (ineptly I agree) to do.

    In other news I am ****ing furious, completely livid, that some bastard got the police involved in the case of a very dignified 80 year old man with motor neurone disease who will end his life on his own terms today in Switzerland. Because his wife helped him organise this and get him to the airport and the police were made aware they have had to interview her. They are unlikely to take anything forward, thankfully, but obviously this has been incredibly stressful for both her and her husband, who had explicitly tried to protect her from this kind of crap.

    If you read my post I said I knew he was a Eurosceptic but after listening to that video I was shocked just by how much. Plenty of others in the press and media have said the same. Are they mupets as well? Tell us all when you heard him referred to the EU as Frankenstein?
