Rubbish. The country in question is the UK. The UK has voted out. Whilst Scotland and N.I. are parts of the UK, that means they are out too.
If they wish to hold referendums to leave the UK, then they can negotiate to rejoin the EU once they have independence.
Sorry to disagree with you Nick and I am an unbiased outsider looking in from outside the UK.
A little history lesson here. The UK is a
union of 4 countries and are seen as 4 countries by EU law because they have 4 seats of governments, London, Cardiff, Edinburgh and Belfast and operate as a union with day to day running controlled by these governments.
It is the Union of these governments that control the rest.
The people who voted out in my opinion were misinformed, the only issue most voted out was because of the emigration issues.
This is Ironic coming from a country that invaded half the world and now want to leave the EU because of Emigration
The EU is a loose voluntarily confederation of 28 countries with no tax raising powers of its own. It is the member states not the EU itself that have the taxing power to redistribute the wealth to losers which some have gained from the rapid increase in economic activity that is taking place across national boundaries, which includes the way that goods, services and financial capital are produced, traded and moved around the whole world.
The UKs investment in productivity improvement has not been good and the Exit voters have mistakenly blamed the EU for the effects and these omissions and under performance of successive UK governments.
Those who promoted the EXIT now have no plan in place of what to do next because they did not expect it to happen and have been caught out without a plan. Boris Johnson has himself in a serious porition “If he runs for leadership of the party, and then fails to follow through on triggering Article 50, then he is finished. If he does not run and effectively abandons the field, then he is finished. If he runs, wins and pulls the UK out of the EU, then it will all be over – Scotland will break away, there will be upheaval in Ireland, a recession … broken trade agreements. Then he is also finished. Boris Johnson knows all of this and is reason he gibbering when asked "what next?".
Farage is denying comments he made early in the campaign about funding the Hospitals schools and GPs with money saved.
It is like the scene from film the Life of Brian "what did the Romans ever do for us" no substitute the Romans for EU and read the link below to see what EU funding was provided to Wales look here (over a billion):
