    Is it just my steam driven iPad or have the kittens gone from the top of the page? Perhaps they have their E meow passports and left the UK?
    The highest form of ignorance is when you reject something you don't know anything about.

    Side comment : I voted remain , brexit is lunacy - but here we are and would respect an orderly exit

    Forgetting all that what brexit has done is confuse politics and governance to the point of complete standstill

    For someone who is broadly ok with how things are (tax pensions housing economy public spending etc) this is great - it's unlikely anyone is going to do anything about anything for a while yet .... Ge or no ge the worst we will get is a paralysed coalition that won't move forward on brexit or anything else

    Being as almost every policy and idea from politics is bad (the last thing anyone needs is more government meddling in housing tax pensions economy etc) this is imo only a good thing

    Long may this continue
    Left is never right but I always am.

    The EU core is overtly political. There are clear objective aims. Sitting back with an attitude of I'm alright jack as my financial circumstances are ok. Are a recipe for disquiet.

    OP had hotlinked it instead of uploading a copy and now there's some problem with the site. I'm guessing too many people pinching pics of fluffy kittens.;)

    Does EU have a list of what is meant by being inside EU?

    I searched on internet but could not find any straight answer.

    If there is such list, is there any governing EU document which says whether 100% of all those points need to be followed by a member country or one can be still be in EU by following 70-80% of those rules?

    If no such policy/guidance/rules do not exist, surely we can say Remainers are not sure of what Remain means?
    Happiness is buying an item and then not checking its price after a month to discover it was reduced further.

    There are three documents listed here

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copenhagen_criteria

    So yes it does exist and we do know.

    I dont think remainers (or leavers) do or possibly can understand every single aSpect of membership, some parts by necessity are officially secret.
    This to me means the referendum was not legitimate (but I understand that’s my personal opinion).

    Personally I took my cue from various non-political experts, so for example rather than becoming an expert in farming (impossible to become an expert in every area) I looked at what the NFU said about it, similarly friends of the earth, Stephen hawking etc.
    For secret subjects even the heads of the secret services have made public statements.
    But I think it was stupid to ask a binary question about something so complicated.
