Aye :-) Let's put it this way; I'm damn sure that USA Americans wouldn't allow, say, South America or any other group of countries to tell them what to do and what laws they *have* to abide by, plus how they *must* spend their money.....agreed ? The UK is and has always was able to sort itself out before the unelected Brussels Beaurocrats came along. |

It all comes down to nationalism vs globalism I guess. |

The only reason the Danes joined was because Britain was going to. Then when DeGaulle vetoed Britain's membership they felt a little abused. Then Britain got in and they were happy. If Britain leaves, they may follow. They kept their own currency too although their standing is different than Britain's. CNN is reporting "Leave" won. Now (MP) Finch is on TV talking about other EU members wanting a referendum. Is this the end of the EU? My Dutch friend says it would not break his heart if they could divest themselves of southern Europe. |

I have always believed that the best government is that which is closest to the people. We will make you into an American Style Revolutionary (Conservative) yet? Okay, not any time soon. :-) You should here the whining and crying over here from the elitists. Lose some power over other people's lives did we? An ABSOLUTELY NOTHING horrible is going to happen to the world over this. With love and understanding, those "unelected Brussels Beaurocrats" can be brought to do simple constructive tasks again. Congratulations on your new Independence Day: 06/23/2016 ! Maybe we should celebrate it over here too. We already celebrate Mexico's victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla (Cinco de Mayo). -T Was that a typo or the British spelling of "Bureaucrat"? |

We want our sovereignty back, plus not to have restrictions on who we can trade with in the rest of the world. Also, would America give Brussels 20 odd billion dollars and then have them tell you where they will spend it, oh and you'll only get half of it back? |
