Britain leaving the EU

RE: Britain leaving the EU
Quote:Are you talking about the EU regulations on overfishing?

These were regulations to preserve nature and aggainst polution and not economic, well.... actualy they limited the fishing economy because it forbid them to polute and overfish.
No no no, you're not getting it. Ok, try this. Let's say UK has a coal mine, now split it 30-70%. UK keeps the 30, but gives EU the 70.
That affects our economy. Get it?

Quote:When Britain has no treaty, the taxes will rise on the product making it more expensive and it will disapear.
Actuall no, we won't have to give away any resource to he EU, we'd be able to trade with whom ever we want (you know, before we joined the EU) and we'd be much better off as a result.
The EU doesn't want the UK to leave, they're gaining so much from us, at our expense.

Quote:It doesnt only sound nice, it is reality. A nation determines it`s economic path by itself and no other country is allowed to interfere as long as the treaty conditions on no taxes for European exports and imports are broken.
Not when it's part of the EU. They tell us who we can trade with and who we can't trade with. They essentially control our economic path. Not if we're independent. Wink

Quote:This is why greece wrecked itself and why Spain and Portugal partialy wrecked themselves (the biggest amount of the wrecking done to the Spanish and Portugese economy was done by the wonderfull, happy, shinny and sparkly world of the free market).
Actually they went down hill after joining the EU. The same with this country.

Quote:And like it or not, Britain might have been the economical leading nation within the commonwealth, but it is losing that significance to developing countries like India.
Oh I wonder why that is?......Confused Fall

Quote:I was not talking about a bailout, investments into poor regions by the Eu usualy mean investments into inferstructure and loans to buisnesses.
Which isn't working as I said.

Quote: I hope Portugal and Spain will have the power to get out of that mess by themselves.
As long as they're in the EU, not likely.

Quote:The Uk hardly contributed anythin to that, they only contribute to the funds given to poor regions within the EU.
Total nonsense, we've given too much! How many people have we let in, given jobs, houses and even left our own with nothing? How many billions and billions have we given to the EU from tax payers money, just to be told what to do by a foreign power? Far too much.


Quote:I am more in support of a representative Republic on that point.
Because if the public is displeased, it can always vote a next time or collect the signitures for a referendum.

The unelected officials of the EU can't be sacked, did you know that? If having unelected officials dictate terms and even bully others to do their will, then fuck your "republic".

Quote:I didn`t say it was racist. I said it was homophobic and gave an example.
No party is perfect, it's the next best thing in my mind. UKIP also denies global warming, however they (I think) may be the right ones to correct our economy issues, as well as our border control.

The Russian in the video - I don't know him, I just agreed with what he said regarding the EU. Please don't take things out of context like that, it really doesn't make you look too good.
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.
