You can at the next election. That's the difference.

Whereas after the next EUParl elections, there will be the same
unelected commissioners, and broadly the same MEPs, elected on their
****ty list system.

How do you think prospective MPs are chosen in the UK? By the voters in
that constituency?

I wouldn't bother. Tim is utterly convinced of his (incorrect) position
and you're wasting your time.


In te end its not about what you or Tim think, its about what 17m people
were strongly motivated enough to vote for.

It is what they voted for two years ago, when they thought the Leave
campaigners must have a coherent idea of how to achieve Brexit in the
simple and easy way they predicted it would happen, when the refugee
crisis was at its height and most people didn't realise that the EU
couldn't force the UK to take any of them, and when, according to a
later survey, 35% of leave voters believed that Brexit would give the
NHS £350 million a week. It is unlikely they would make the same choice
today, having seen some of the realities of the Brexit process.
