    It's nice to longer be an FU member!

    Fun to watch all the predictors of doom and punishment recant.
    Most importantly, emigrating to escape the Fascist Union was going to be a real arse and I no longer have to lie at work about my intentions to be along term employee there.

    Don't be silly, we reward banks for failing in Britain-with our taxes.

    Everything will be ok. All the problems in the first stage will end. Then there will be economic growth. In addition you will not have to feed the hordes of parasites Eastern and Southern Europe..... For example, when imposed sanctions against Russia, while there were problems. A very short time. But now the rise of industry and agriculture .... .... new jobs will also be you. I congratulate all Britons with the independence from European officials-parasites.

    I am absolutely blaming the far right and radical left parties who are bought and payed for by Moscow because it's a fact that they are, the National Front readily admits that it is funded by Moscow.

    Let the sour-grape naysayers mitigate their bitterness as they will, but this will turn out to be the best thing we could have done for ourselves and for our country. One day the youngsters who are bellyaching that they're the ones who will have to live with the outcome will thank us; they might be smarter than we are, but they don't have worldly wisdom yet. That only comes with age.

    How many signatures does it need for it to trigger a revote? And if it does why don't they hold it over the weekend when more young voters can actually vote because they aren't retired and actually have to work.

    LOL um no the EU council are the elected heads of state/government from the member states and the EU commission is appointed by the popularly elected EU Parliament. There is nothing undemocratic about the EU.

    Really looks like it is going to be a battle by the EU for your democratic right to leave - otherwise I think you have just been made a total arse of - everything the same but no rights while destroying the UK to boot. England is going to be a minion on the world stage.

    Bull(*)(*)(*)(*) Moscow wants to end western economic dominance over the contintent which is precisely why they are funding far right and far left Eurosceptic parties throughout the EU, to destroy the West from within which this could very easily achieve, the pound is in free fall and the Euro might not survive hell the dollar is even at an 18 year low. Way to think it through English/Welsh voters you just handed the Russian bastards the key to the city on a silver platter. Why do you think the payed Russian trolls on this forum are so ecstatic?

    says the man who refused to even look at the information which would have told him the reality of this, preferring to rely on his 'gut feeling'

    Well I'm not the only one who thinks it's undemocratic:

    "Jeremy Corbyn voted against the Maastricht treaty in 1993, he declared it was because the EU had handed control to &#8220;an unelected set of bankers&#8221;. More recently the Labour leader has said the EU has &#8220;always suffered from a serious democratic deficit. EU insiders have spent more than a generation fretting about the so-called democratic deficit &#8211; a term coined by the British political scientist David Marquand in 1979."

    Confusing isn't it - which of course is what it's meant to be! Two things that bureaucrats are good at - generating confusion for their own ends, and
    being secretive.

    No each member state votes for its own reps in the European Parliament it is an elected body not unelected as you claim. It is no less Democratic than the US House or Senate. Furthermore; the powers of the EU are not as broad as you seem to think they are.

    This is worse than I thought!! I often imagine you to be an 18-stone biker covered in tattoos and owner of 3 or 4 pit bull terriers.

    It's not my problem that he doesn't understand it, it's not complicated at all, each state has apportioned reps for the European Parliament this apportionment is similar to the degressively proportional electoral college of the US whereby more populous states are not given an unfair representation which would take away from the voice of less populous states in the election of the POTUS. Think of it this way it wouldn't be fair to say South Dakota or Idaho if the election of the POTUS was based on direct population apportionment because California and New York would pretty much decide the election. Coming from a Federalist system it's not very confusing to me.

    For you and your fellow economic literates, the pound going lower against the dollar has economic benefits.

    The EU is cronyism at its worst, and all the little puppets in this thread crying about the Brexit, just shows what a case of Stockholm syndrome the common dupes has going on with the global elitist.

    A link to substantiate that would have been a good idea?
