BREXIT - Why?

I think it offered a few minor new insights but nothing to persuade anyone on either side to change their mind I wouldn't think or help the undecideds. I agree the Strasbourg thing is ridiculous!

I did know about the strasbourg debacle, that kind of inefficency drives me mad.

The clarification between directive and regulation was helpful although in practical terms quite immaterial as we still have to do what they say. 59% of laws is a huge figure, even if some don't affect us it still clogs up are statues and occupies civil servants with pointless tasks.

Still voting leave, have been since I got into politics and learned about the EU.

With respect to the Strasburg thing, it is important because it is an excellent example of how daft it all is, and in this particular case, at least 27 out of 28 members states wants it stopped (and so do many French) but their is no viable mechanism for common sense to prevail.

If they cannot sort out a simply bit of stupidity like that what hope is their to do on anything really important?

With respect to the rest of the programme I though it demonstrated clearly how hopeless it all is and how out of touch they all are. It reminded me of Alice in Wonderland.

How many bills in the Queen's Speech are from EU? Clue - it's a very round number. So suggestions that we have no control over our own laws aren't valid.

If you want to get on the housing ladder you must vote leave, it was announced today that house prices will fall when we leave the EU.

I don't believe that for one moment - if only it was that simple

I disagree with you. This is absolutely true. It is that simple. Simple logic. If an already crowded country allows 4 million immigrants (carrying trowels or dust pans) in, within a short space of time, then house prices will rocket. Unless there already a million houses or flats are empty.

This is why recent EU immigrants with vested interests are not allowed to vote in this.

With BREXIT we can go back to a standard, normal house price inflation of 15 years ago.

I disagree. In my opinion, house prices will not fall whether we leave the EU or not. There is a serious shortage of properties and until that problem is resolved, property prices are not likely to fall.
