If we vote for Brexit what happens

Moby

Don't people fear a re-invigorated EU giving us a hard time now? Britains traditional role was always to try and keep the balance of power in Europe.........now a new Franco-German alliance driving the EU is going to leave us out in the cold IMO. We have walked off the pitch so can't influence future events any more. Aren't posters worried about this?

No, couldn't care less.

A third of French voters voted for a party that wants to both leave the EU and change their currency - I find that astonishing. And FN have momentum - everything to play for in 2022. You have to accept that Frexit is now a real possibility.

..and if it hadn't have been for the pesky two thirds they would've got away with it yesterday.

Yes, I'm right on both points aren't I.

I don't know tbh as I only tend to skim read your stuff to avoid bouts of depression.

No.

They still want money off the UK. We want a deal.

If it all ends up in a stand off, we all lose.

The funny thing is...your average car worker in Spain/Germany/UK/France...they don't want excuses as to why some politically inspired downturn has cost them sales and with it jobs.

They want money to pay for food and going out, same as they always have.

They would turn against all the politicians, and the far right would think all their Xmases had come at once.

No moaning at all.

The problem is that we're in a position where we can't have a sensible debate on where to go from here without being accused of talking the country down.

You may be happy to support BlueKIP in the current situation, but I'm not, as I don't believe anywhere near enough exploration work has been done.

Hi again, CK. Still looking for a link to prove that May threatened war with Spain?

Wasn't that hard, was it?

What I said the other day applies.

Not only that but many pro-EU types ignore for example the 46.7% vote for Norbert Hoffer in Austria, the far right candidate who narrowly lost.
Or Geert Wilders coming second in Holland.
Or the rise of Five Star in Italy.

Yet those supporting Brexit here are often disparaged. Odd. Because ignoring the millions on the continent, even discounting the USA for example , is certainly not acknowledging that huge divides that exist globally, not just in Europe or here in the UK.

Hold it just a minute there.
Nowhere does that say that May threatened war on Spain like you originally and very wrongly stated.



That is a retired Lord's suggestion, not that of Theresa May please note, so it certainly doesn't cut it.
And it took you how long to find that?
