Nobody seemed to mind about impacts on millions of the decisions of this tranche of politicians. Or for that matter the people who lost their jobs and companies that went bust when we joined.Danny's Dyer Acting wrote:With all due respect, I get the impression you're someone who is well insulated from any economic impact on the general population.
There are millions that won't be as lucky.
The idea of a trading bloc is a good one (although even that was skewed pretty quickly) but the whole thing has been a con from the off. Within a year of joining that was clear and desire to leave was huge, we had the first round of 'if we stay in we can reform it' and away we went. The same line has been trotted out from Maastricht, through Paris and Lisbon and Camerons negotiations, now its a key part of lets vote again. But it doesn't reform or adjust to flaws it just expands ignoring democratic accountability when it suits in order to do so.
Recent expansion was a disaster adding a slew of basket case economies before fixing the ones we already had. We were told to expect a few thousand new migrants, as I nobody had considered push/pull effects at all. The people telling us thus now want us to take their word on the future once again because this time the EU can be made to reform - honestly.
