Britain leaving the EU
#10
RE: Britain leaving the EU
Quote:Being in the EU we have free trade and movement across borders in the EU which is good for our economy.

Actually we gave them many of our resources. We don't actually have any say on who we trade with. Did you know we have to leave the room and let Brussels arrange who we trade with? Look at our economy, it's collapsing. Look at Spain and Greece, unemployment is enormous. We have no control. Another 29 million foreigners are now able to walk in.
How can things be any worse for us if we left?

Quote:We don't have vast amounts of North Sea oil like Norway nor are we practically all stinking rich with bank accounts full of money like the Swiz.
Norway was smart enough not to give away its resources to the EU.

Quote:People weren't given the vote originally because the mass of the British public aren't necessarily to be trusted to make the choice which would be in Britains future economic interests,

That's dictatorship. The government is supposed to be the voice of the people, not it's masters. This isn't the soviet union. Obviously the people knew best, we never should of joined the EU.

Quote:they just vote for the people who know what they're doing. David Cameron does know that our future interests are best served by remaining in the EU but he is a weak primeminister who submits to pressure from Euroskeptics such as UKIP and a minority members of his own party.

At least UKIP has a back bone. If the people ask for a referendum, for the sake of democracy, you're supposed to give such a referendum. It's called freedom, democracy. For the government to say no, we'll do this and you must obey, that's a dictatorship.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
