Well, the latest polls appear to be showing a gradual and noticeable shift to leave. I'm pleased but skeptical, as I still expect the remain campaign (backed by the cronies of the IMF, Obama, EU, BoE, etc.) to cause enough doubts. My only hope is the defiant, independant streak which I feel is...

Surprise, surprise. Baa, baa. :wink:

And how does being governed by the EU exactly stop multi-cultural societies. Yes, the BREXIT side are lying about immigration, but then he REMAIN see are lying as much about the impact off the economy. I mean, the IMF says 9.5% drop in GDP for crying out loud. Worse than after the Wall Street...

And that to me is the problem. If the young are looking at this as though it's down to racism, etc., then they are wrong. This is, for me, about democracy. Pure and simple. The Commision is unelected and and we, as voters, do not have any input/vote on the rules/regulations which they pass...

Interesting perspective (not meant in a sarcastic way). I feel that we are both disillusioned with main-stream politics, but have reached slightly different outcomes by considering the facts as we understand them. At least we've had a reasoned few posts with no name calling and no stupid...

Good idea. I'm not the only person who thinks the structure is flawed. Some people are so blinded the the project that they can't see the reality. Who elected Juncker as president? You know, that guy who negotiated low tax deals with multi-national companies to use Luxembourg as a cheap...

Just a snippet from the article. Through Article 17 of the Treaty on European Union the Commission has several responsibilities: to develop medium-term strategies; to draft legislation and arbitrate in the legislative process; to represent the EU in trade negotiations; to make rules and...

I agree that the UK voting system is unfair. For example, UKIP won 14% of the popular vote and has 1 MP. SNP 4% and 49 MPs I think. So yes, it's wrong. However, if this gets to be a big enough political issue it could change. What won't change in the EU is the power retained by the political...

The only advantage is we can eject our politicians every 5 years. The European Commission, we have NO SAY over whatsoever. They are the real power, no the MEPs. Therefore, you are actaully saying you are happy to hand total power to a class of people who are unaccountable to the electorate...

My thoughts are that I value democracy. I detest the fact that the European Commision are the real power/lawmakers in Europe and they are unelected. I would like to think that I am fairly well-read on Finance matters, and the general consensus is that the EURO is unsustainable. The carnage...
