Quote:Europe in their arrogance gave Camoron nothing thinking we would vote to stay anyway and now the EU elite are starting to panic.
It is still worth remembering that this is all about the Tory party. The only reason we are having a referendum is because DC put it in the Tory manifesto to unite his divided party and win the last general election.
That was the easy bit, now he has to win the referendum. But DC and the Tory party are gambling our future on the back of their own petty squabbling.
Whatever happens we have a Tory party in meltdown, that’s a government in meltdown. Meanwhile the Labour elite still can’t accept the will of the membership and get behind Mr Corbyn.
But the EU elite panicking. Worried, yes, but panicking, probably not.
What it does mean, I think, and this is where the leave camp are bull shitting, is that trade and all the positives of the single market will continue unchanged. They won’t. The EU isn’t going to sit back and watch member state after member state leave, so the UK is going to face years of difficult negotiations and trade restrictions if it leaves. There is no way this will be an easy transition. It will hurt, it will hit our currency, it will hit you in the pocket and it will effect our pensions. But Boris, Gove and Farage are rich men who won’t be effected and don’t give a fuck about ordinary people.
What we will be walking away from at the end of the day is the biggest open trade area in the world. And the biggest most powerful trading negotiator in the world, whilst at the same time having to abide by it’s rules and regulations but without any influence whatsoever.
In the meantime, the Tories will dismantle the EU working time directive and numerous other pieces of employment legislation at will so they can have a free hand in fucking it into the working man once more - well that is if they can pull themselves together and hang onto power after a leave vote.
On top of that, pretty much every poll so far has showed Scotland and NI voting decisively to remain in. If that is the case, even getting out will be a long slow process and those respective parliaments may refuse to cooperate. And yes it may in turn lead to the end of Great Britain as we know it today.
I want to stay in the EU. It offers a buffer against the daft English electorate that keep repeatedly voting Tory. Just as the Scottish Parliament acts as a buffer against Westminster so does the EU. And given the opportunity to vote in another Scottish Independence I’ll vote again to leave the UK and join the EU.
