Brexit the economy and house prices part 7: Brexit Harder

Look, you Chaps may want to be in an organisation where the likes of Victor Orban has a big say, but some of us don't.
How should the EU horse-trading be made more efficient and democratic?
Is horse trading not a feature, however not pleasant and not ideal, of pretty much any political system?
How is it different from the horse-trading which happens in British politics?
How was giving £1bn to the DUP different? Was that 'democratic'?
I am most interested in your thoughts on these points. Will I have the honour of an answer?0 -

You don't get to pose questions to me on here and then expect an answer, who do you think you are !!!!!!?
I, like everyone on here endeavour to make pertinent points based on my personal opinion, you can either take it or leave it.
I have neither the time nor inclination to jump through your rather strange rhetorical hoops.

Ah, I see... The honour of an answer is not to be. Too bad!
I am sure it is because you are too busy and don't have time, and not because, you know, I have totally and completely demolished the nonsense you wrote. Go on, continue to make 'your points' and then ignore the replies of those who demolish them as nonsense.0 -

"demolish"?

You even fail to realise that what you wrote has been exposed as total nonsense.
You decried horse-trading in the EU.
I asked how it should be made better... silence.
I asked if that is not common of any political system... silence.
I asked how horse-trading in British politics compares... silence.
I asked if the £1bn to the DUP is any less serious or any more democratic... silence.
In other words, I have calmly shown to you that what you decry, horse-trading. is an unfortunate feature of any political system in which a compromise must be reached among different parties. How to 'improve' this very imperfect system is far from straightforward. More outrageous examples of the same exist in British politics. Yet none of this is reason enough for you to pause and reconsider.
Yours is not an opinion, it's a dogma, completely unrelated to factual reality.0 -
You're a bit of a control freak aren't you?“Britain- A friend to all, beholden to none”. 🇬🇧0
