    It doesn't really matter what Corbyn thinks does it, he isn't likely to be seeing power anytime soon.

    Boris is the most likely future PM in the leave campaign, he can't even seem to agree with himself on what our future outside the EU should be.

    We can always rejoin, but we can never vote to leave again.
    Can you take the risk of getting trapped in a New State where we can not elect the law makers and can never leave or change those laws and boy oh boy do they like making laws, by the dozen every single day
    I do Contracts, all day every day.

    The future is unknown : the future PMs are unknown
    Why do you obsess about the fact that the 'leave' people is unknown when you don't know the future of how 'remain ' will unfold.

    Why can't you vote to leave again? If a majority voted UKIP or for any other party standing on a Leave platform then I would expect them to take the UK out of the EU without a referendum even.

    The UK had clean air acts in the 50's and 60's. Clean rivers acts in the 60's, sustainable fish acts in the 60's.

    Acts that did not cure the problem.
    Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are incapable of forming such opinions.

    they made a vast improvement
    do you know that all European countries were better?

    would you have preferred we all moved to diesel so we can continue to pollute in line with EU recommendations?

    We have to ask and beg for permission to have a vote to leave.
    I do not think many realise just how much power we have given up to the EU

    What rubblish.

    Rejoining is subject to the other nations agreeing. It is not guaranteed that we would be accepted and even if we were all new members are required to join the Euro and accept terms that are less than we currently hold.

    Leaving is always an option. It does not even need a referendum - just a vote in Parliament.

    Do people actually believe this stuff?

    What permission did we have to beg from the EU to have this vote to leave?
