About 10,000 years?

There are no EU countries, only regions, anyway - or at least there
wont
be for much longer.


I'm not saying the EU is in any way perfect, but I do feel that
we
stand a
better chance of affecting things for the better if we stay in.

Yerah if we all man te pumps teh deckhairs on te titamnic will be

fir another 20 minutes.

Me?

I'm for the lifeboats.

The EU is dead. It just hasn't quite accepted it.

Odd that no country has chosen to leave.

Has any country been given the chance ?

They don't have to be given anything, they are free to leave any time
they
like.

Who are the they here.

The country that has decided that it wants to leave.

Which counties have had a vote on whether they stay on or out of the EU.

None yet, because few have even wanted to leave.

And those that wanted to leave when did they get the vote.


Not to say some form of EU wide political talking shop might not be
relevant - we've had NATO for years of course - but this EU is
abiout
as
relevant today as the Socialist workers party.

Bet the voters feel otherwise.

When was the last time the voters got a chance to vote ?

They will, you watch.

Just like the vote to use their mobiles while driving and smoke and drink.

Nothing like in fact. You should have noticed that Scotland just voted
on whether they should leave Britain or not.

Yes they got the vote when did Britain get a chance on whether to leave the EU or not ? what date was it ?


About the same time football supporters voted for FIFA.
