If people had been told the truth, I very much doubt the result would have been the same but it's abundantly clear that the so-called democrats in our parliament are nothing of the sort. Get real. After all we have to live in the real world, and share it as peaceably and equably as possible with others. If we weren't in the EU, we would still be members of NATO, the UN, various trade agreements, etc. All these are effectively a voluntary reduction in national sovereignty for the sake of living peacefully in a more or less peaceful world.

To make a point about greater use of referenda for the future is
valid, but EU accession happened 40 years ago, the Conservatives did win the next election, membership was ratified by a referendum when Labour came to power, and it's no good screaming "Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" for something that happened forty years ago, particularly when so many worse things have happened since.

It was a vote to remain in the EU, so I find it difficult to conceive
how it could possibly be interpreted as anything other than a vote for the EU.

BTW, would your migration complaint be relating to intra-EU migration (which doesn't affect the total EU population one tiny bit, of course), legal external migration (which is already very strictly controlled), or illegal external migration (which is already... illegal)? There's absolutely NOTHING knee-jerk about it. Your thinking may not be knee-jerk, but it wasn't you who made the OP. Have you *any* idea how fast the world's population is growing? Yes, I've pointed out the problem many times before in ngs such as this, usually accompanied by a phrase such as "We cannot go on ignoring the elephant in the room". Then add in the naturally improving standard of living of the Third World and I think we have a problem Houston! Why is that a problem. Improved living standards tend to lead to better education of women, and better education of women tends to lead to a reduction in birthrate. For democracy to work, you need meaningful constituencies and what these artificial area do is alienate elector's interest, thereby giving total control to the Eurocrats in our case. You seem to be arguing from your own particular to everyone else's general. There is nothing to stop us co-operating of issues as above, of mutual interest but a NWO is anti-democratic and I have a perfect right to hold that view as you have to favour the status-quo or even further integration. The problem with an organisation like UKIP is that they create bogey men to point fingers at. They are making Europe the new 'Jewish Problem'. Unfortunately, there are people in every country stupid enough to fall for such cynical 'hate' tactics, including some here who should know better. The irony of it is that the worst of them, the OP in this thread, has an obvious anti-German bias, but is falling for exactly the same sort jingoism that the Nazis used to justify their attacks on Jews. I disagree with TurNiP on most things but he's right about this. The EU is an orgsnisation corrupt through and through. No-one knows where the money goes, it's accounts have never been signed off since inception. It is run largely by socialist apparachniks from East Europe bent on rebuilding a socialist soviet (or fourth riech). The whole outfit is propped up by non-existant funny money. There will be a day of reckoning and we don't want to be there when it happens. There is nothing these people won't do, nothing they won't steal to prop up their socialist tyranny |

No reason at all why a government shouldn't do popular things, though
one hopes that rather than concentrate on mere popularity, they would concentrate on doing what is best for the country, which may or may not be popular at any one particular time. But the fact that you've asked that shows that you've completely missed the point I was making ... again.

Actually, if the EU want to standardise something, book sizes would be a good place to start. Ever tried to pack a variety of books into a trunk? How about phone chargers ? Phone chargers _have_ been standardised for a few years. Well, all apart from Apple, who are "special". In which case they aren't standard. The Nokia 5800 I had in 2009 wasn't standard. Yes, Nokia were the other manufacturer slow in standardising on micro- and mini-USB. But since Nokia are an absolute irrelevance these days... |

I disagree with harry about most things, but there was an interesting quote on Twitter the other day, attributed to Mr Gorbachev. He apparently cannot understand why European politicians are trying to recreate the Soviet Union in Western Europe. One suspects that the claimed attribution is false. Certainly, it shouldn't be believed until proven. Link? Suspect away dear boy, it's all the same to me. Link?

Why do you suppose our hospitals, education sytem and housing are all stretched? http://www.publications.parliament.u...onaf/82/82.pdf Or if that's too hard for you to understand http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/7215624.stm I've posted before about the long-term effects of immigration. The solution is tighten EU rules, not ditch the entire EU. Are you so thick you can't find this stuff for yourself? I shouldn't have to. If you wish to make controversial statements and have them taken seriously rather than dismissed as just another bigoted rant, at least back them up with reliable facts. It's pretty self evident that if we have lots of immigrants they will overload our services/housing. Only half wits can't immediately see the truth of this. Lots of socialists in denial. |

Get a life and mix with people other than the ones in your club and get a true idea of why you are hated. Answer the question ****-fer brains. Government are elected to do popular things. If they don't they get unelected. That's why UKIP is doing so well. Are you so simple you can't see that? |

"Java Jive" wrote in message ... No reason at all why a government shouldn't do popular things, though one hopes that rather than concentrate on mere popularity, they would concentrate on doing what is best for the country, which may or may not be popular at any one particular time. But the fact that you've asked that shows that you've completely missed the point I was making ... again.

I think the collective mind of the population is far ahead of stupid politicians. |

The EU has nothing to do with any of these things. On Wed, 30 Oct 2013 09:03:17 -0000, "harryagain" wrote: Many of them because of the EU. We would be able to deport foreign criminals for a start.

It is really a no brainer. Vote UKIP, get Ed Millibroon and *no* EU referendum. Vote Tory, get Cameron and an EU Referendum. It's the only option. I can't wait for the EU referendum. The reaction from people like TNP & Harry when they realise that they really were in a minority all along will be priceless. Just wait for the blame game to begin. |
