So Rob and Putin, you 2 see nothing wrong when a special group elects leader without the people say so? The EU elected a President behind close doors, and no one knew about till it was over. And like I said, that was one of Farage strongest talking point.
Funny enough, the Uk went against the Monarchy because the elites controlled everything. And the US separated from the Empire because the elite few was making laws that did not benefit them.
Agreed. But with Brexit, how long have these people have had to "learn", how many more times do they get to ignore that Johnson's a conman, granted, a talented one. But still.
So now we’re in the new world order. The time has come for those who wanted Brexit to finally take responsibility for it. Let’s hope they can make a success of it.
This question is for people who are from the UK. Why are some of you against the Brexit? As an American, I would not want other countries meddling in decisions for my country. Is it just for the unity of Europe, or something else?
-If the Brexiters are somehow able to deliver on their pro Brexist promises and the UK flourishes, they'll take 100% of the credit and that's fair enough.
-If the UK economy goes into the shitter even more because of Brexit, they will pass 100% of the blame to everyone/anyone not themselves.
Hey, if he's a talented conman, then it stands to reason that some people are going to be taken in by him.
The big test is going to be what happens when they're actually out of the EU, and people start asking where all that money is that was supposed to be poured in to the NHS. Politicians make promises all the time; it's when they actually get the power that they usually get exposed imo.
When the EU doesn't bend to their demands for market access (because really, at this point it would be a miracle if they do), and when Ireland doesn't give them the border THEY want, you'll start to see even more cracks forming. Sure, there will always be those people that can't admit they're wrong, but I think we will start to see public perception shift.
Of course, there's always the small chance that the Parliament will get the market access they want, the border they want, and might actually keep some of their promises. I mean, it's unlikely, but stranger things have happened.
I wouldn't bother trying to reason with the sore losers. They have it set in their ignorant minds that nationalism = bad, globalism = good. If you're a nationalist and want strong borders/immigration laws then you're a nazi who loves Hitler.
Doesn't matter if globalist policies are screwing your country over; if you hate globalist policies then you're obviously just a racist lol. You can't reason with morons who think stupid shit like that so I wouldn't waste my time trying if I were you. They'll just end up calling you a racist as well... doesn't matter if you're not a white person.
If you love your country and want it to be independent and determine its own destiny then it's obvious you must love Adolf Hitler. Just accept it. Because we all know the idea of borders and nationalism was never ever a thing before Hitler came along lol.

I expect that to happen too. I'm just not discounting a miracle is all.
Not from the UK, but in the EU. Basically, people outside of Europe seem to grossly overestimate just how much power the EU has. For the most part, the EU doesn't set national policy in countries. It isn't active at any kind of local level, and the day-to-day life of most people in the EU is completely unaffected by being in the EU.
The benefits, however, are things like the market access. Having an EU passport (which is a pretty big boon). Financial support in times of recession. In general terms, being in the EU brings more benefits than being outside of it.
