But the reality is very much that a new entrant would be asked to use the Euro or not join. That's pretty obvious.
yes it is:) along with all the other things I mentioned and a lot more. The only way that the EU is letting us back in is on their terms and they will be targeted to humiliate us. At least if we have a BINO we can always change the terms as a third country.0 -

The political direction of the EU isn't about humiliating anyone. The powers to be wish to head in a certain direction. The question for the electorate is to do they wish to be part of a large superstate. Where there'll have very little influence and lose national identity.0 -
Why would they lose national identity?0

Brexit will damage the UK economy for years. The EU is a club and if you are no longer a member, then you are not going to receive the same deal.
EU countries have already told manufacturers in their countries to stop using UK made parts and to start to source them from EU countries. The City of London which does a lot of Euro trading is going to lose billions of pounds of trading to Paris and Frankfurt.0 -

And the EU wont be affected one bit by Brexit? You assume that only the UK will suffer, and the EU will come up smelling of roses? The reality is they will have a MASSIVE hole in their budget to cover when the UK leave. So, its in the interests of both parties to come to some sort of agreement.0 -
The term "Far Right" has seen much more exposure recently, mostly as a perjorative term.
Which is why I found this analysis interesting :
https://youtu.be/F8nj2ee4S48
Given the definitions that Steve Turley in the video puts forward, it would seem that Brexit voters fit into this category of Far Right.
Not only that, there are similar traits appearing in as much as 25% of the EU parties. It's not just that these parties, like UKIP or AFD, are fringe parties...destined to do nothing. It's the fact that they can reshape existing centre right/centre left parties following the globalist agenda.
I now understand why George Soros has been so vocal of late. He is adept at spotting financial trends, and possibly political trends too.
Thought provoking or rubbish...you decide0 -
If you think that the number of cars in the UK is in anyway related to the Nation's happiness you have clearly never been stuck on the M25!
Yes I have been stuck on the M25, M4, M3, M1, M6, M69 and M62, plus others that have drifted into the past.
Let us not talk of Britains bad infrastructure. Brexit will not solve that.
I do not believe in the correlation between happiness and owning a car. However the debt involved may end in tears.There will be no Brexit dividend for Britain.0 -
17 million people in the UK are of Far Right leaning because they voted for Brexit? :rotfl:
How childish.
Did you watch the video?
He characterises 3 traits :
a) a commitment to nationalism. Well, the reassertion of nation state sovereignty ticks that box
b) populism, expressed as a will of the people over the trans-national interests. That sounds like Brexit to me.
c) traditionalism, ie a reassertion of a nations traditional values as a backlash against the rising trend of globalism - which aims to homogenise people and culture. I'd say that resonates with Brexit voters too.
I'm not hung up on the label, because that would be childish. But I can recognise the traits when expressed like this.0 -
