With luck it is predominantly the remain voters who are leaving, reducing the need to build houses in the UK.

@guleiro if the system could work, I don't thing leave voters will be particularly inconveniences, and you are welcome to the remain voters.

Alfa&Omega 00000 wrong, the uk has history, the eu has none. Worse still the eu does not have much of a future. But you are right it will make history, all be it very brief.

Alfa&Omega 00000 wrong the eu has a history that dates to just after WWII, UK history is hundreds of years. The idea of a European empire dates back beyond the Roman empire. The latest version can be attributed to NAZI Germany. Interestingly all failed and fell apart. If the eu refuses to learn from history, it is doomed to repeat it. When you suggest a brilliant future, are you imagining a very, very bright flash before an extremely loud bang, If so, I might agree with you.

Alfa&Omega 00000 you really do have an exaggerated idea of the EU's importance. It is just another attempt to forces union of the ununitable. Yet another attempt to build an European empire. I am sure Hitler would have approved. As I said it will go the same way as all the others. Democratic, now that's funny.

Alfa&Omega 00000 such a compliments coming from the largest criminal organisation in the world, running a protection racket and Ponzi scheme, that makes the Mafia envious ( as ell as rather rich). I pity those states joining this ponzi now, after all the quality of the new members do not match the wealth of the originals. It is the eu that has a God complex, demanding to keep the rights it lost when the uk left the eu. Even your rhetoric has a echo of the Nazi state, did they not claim that the Third Reich would last for a thousand years, and look how that turned out.

Andrew Battersby not necessary,they are going into voluntary exile in the EU Gulag.

@guleiro you are deluded if you think they complement each other. You will soon experience the tyranny of the many over the few. As the EU grows so does the size of the greater good. A some point whole countries can be sacrificed in the name of the greater good. It will be a combination of crisis and political expediency that will demonstrate the principle, though it could be argued that the eu came close to such a demonstration during the Greek financial crisis.

@guleiro Germany maybe, but France???

@nandomustermann8979 Macron wants France to lead the eu empire, the only problem he needs German tax payer money to do it. Germany has a history of forming such relationships, it seems to be similar to that between Hitler and Mussolini. In this case, Germany is dependent on the French military, as the Americans no longer want the job of defending europe. It is the French who want more integration to turn the eu into a proxy French Empire, but its German money that will fund Macrons ambitions

@nandomustermann8979 which bridge do you hide under?

Alfa&Omega 00000 so why would they go to the eu????
1
@Pro Mc So?? What labour shortage? Unemployment is set to hit record numbers, due to covid.
1
Alfa&Omega 00000 the eu is not the place to go to survive. It is going to be a very unpleasant place.
1
Alfa&Omega 00000 but by definition, a move to the eu is a move into a fascist superstate. Your grip on history seems very limited.
1
Alfa&Omega 00000 I have and you have not. Your version of history is complete nonsense.
1
Alfa&Omega 00000 you have no idea of truth. You appear to be deranged. when that let you out of what mental institution you are in, I suggest you take basic history lessons.
1
Alfa&Omega 00000 so that's why we put them for 5 years in a bloody war. We we so friendly they bombed us and we bombed their cities to ash.
1
@guleiro you would say that wouldn't you. But history will prove my right.
1
@guleiro are you one of those migrants trying to get a boat into the uk. They sit on French beaches, drinking, watching for a boat or a lorry on which to hitch a ride.
1
@guleiro interesting that you have already forsaken your national roots to embrace the federal super state. The eurocrats will be pleased as it the first step towards the homogenous mongrel people that the eu wants. All cultural differences must be stamped out so you owe your allegiance to your unelected rulers.
1
@guleiro it is because of its past history I am glad we left.
1
Alfa&Omega 00000 I did, the common market owes its origin to the threat of a further rise of the Nazi regime, the so close Fourth Reich. When the idea that the uk might leave the EEC, the threat was that it would result in the reemergence of the Nazi state and another war in europe. The eu progenitor was designed to bind Germany so that it could not start another war. At the time, the world had seen two world wars, each blamed on German nationalism. The coal and steel Cooperative that started the eu was intended to control German access to the raw materials of war. The codependency encouraged for the member states own it origin, not to economic efficiency, but to a political desire to lock the member states together, to stop them waging wars on each other. The idea that europe fought the Nazis for six years is a distortion of the truth. Germany overwhelmed Europe, invading each country in turn, pausing only it reached the English channel. You really do not know any history, do you. After WWII,it was NATO that kept the uneasy peace. Absolutely nothing to do with the EU. The hidden agenda of the eu is the same as that of the Nazis, it is to conquer the sovereign countries of europe and unite them under a common government. That government will be a fascist plutocratic dictatorship, just as Hitler envisioned it. The only difference is the method used to achieve this ambition.
1
@guleiro the feeling is absolutely mutual. I just hope the uk will avoid being dragged into EU future conflicts.
1
@guleiro politically they might be welcomed,economically there is no chance. The EU Ponzi scheme needs better quality new recruits, not additional liabilities, it is why Irish reunification is a pipe dream for the foreseeable future. It is a manana Project. For the uk, Irish reunification would be a windfall, for the eu it would be a financial and political nightmare. The sane applies to Scotland, maybe to a lesser degree. Eu expansion has stalled because the ponzi scheme needs rich, politically stable new members, preferably recruits who will not threaten the Russians. At least NI and Scotland meets the latter criteria.
1
@Emkei2010 they can't be that bright they are migrating to the EU. Interesting that you associate the eu with a drain, I would have suggested open sewer.

Valentin Condeescu the Europeans should feel shame, but its nothing to do with the UK, and far more to do with the EU.

@マウリツィオ-g6e Farage was elected to the eu parliament for a reason. To make sure the uk escaped from the grip of the EU parasite. He did that.
1
@マウリツィオ-g6e how many eu commissioners did you vote for??? As for Farage, I am not here to defend him, he was elected to the eu parliament to get the uk out of the eu,he did that. By his inclusion, he excluded at least one europhile UK MEP, thus, even if he did nothing, he helped get the uk out of the eu, that was all that wes required of him. I have campaigned for the abolition of the house of lords, with luck it will be as successful as that for leaving the eu. If Farage did nothing, why is the UK out of the EU.
1
@マウリツィオ-g6e are you deliberately ignoring that the UK is leaving the EU. Farage lead the only party campaigning to leave. One of the reasons that Farage and his party did not win elections in the uk is because the other uk parties were forced to move to his position on the EU. Another reason was that for a long while Farage and his party was considered a single issue party, dominated by the issue of leaving. If you track their success at the polls, the party became less relevant once the referendum was decided and the other parties accepted that the UK had voted to leave. All resurgence in the parties popularity can be traced to hesitation and setbacks in the brexit process. The labour party, changed its position on brexit as a result of remainer pressure in their party, this resulted to the collapse of the labour vote in the last general election. During the last general election, the brexit party that Farage led, did not stand candidates in seats where conservatives pledged to support the referendum result. This avoided splitting the support for leave.

@マウリツィオ-g6e was it not a form of proportional representation that got Hitler elected? I have a theory about democracy, I think it is inherently unstable, since a vote can give it away. By a pervious accident of history, the uk system has survived, because it manages to oscillate either side of the liberal position. Could explain the details, but I have posted on this subject a number of times and I am tired of repeating the same thing again. Do not expect my to defend many aspects of the system, such as the house of lords, but any change must be done carefully, so as not to endanger the fragile dynamic stability. I had no objections to the common market, it is the federal super state of the eu which I cannot abide, and I have good reasons, none of which involve racism or a nostalgia or lost empire. Since democracy seems to be the subtext of this post, I will explain one facet of my objections. Democracy has an optimum size, beyond which it can become the tyranny of the good of the many, out weighting the good of the few. In other words democracy can be diluted to the point where it losers its meaning. Worse still, beyond a certain size it is very easy to abuse, the US is currently providing an example.

@マウリツィオ-g6e coalition governments are usually paralysed by indecision and pet projects. One could argue that the EU's proportional representation makes the EU parliament a permanent coalition. But it is questionable if real power is invested in the Parliament. Truly it is just used as a talking shop and a place to obtain the rubber stamp on policies that originate elsewhere. The allegiance of the uk press oscillates with the government of the day. At the moment the right wing is in control,but it will switch back over the next few elections. You are just not looking over a sufficiently long period. The EU on the other hand is heading in only one direction, towards a plutocratic dictatorship, a dystopian future so often predicted by 20th century science fiction writers.
1
@マウリツィオ-g6e the whole world is now ruled as a globalisation plutocracy. The UK's only home of escaping it is to leave the eu. As you mention Orwell, while 1984 is applicable to the eurocratic big brother, there are also echo's of animal farm, where every one is equal, just that some have become more equal than others.
1
@マウリツィオ-g6e the first question that comes to mind is, how do you know what the uk is going to implement as new laws? You should be aware that the eu will also be competing with Chinese workers, and unless the system of globalisation changes, you will lose in such a competition. You cannot impose a level playing field on China, the eu is struggling to impose it on the UK. I do not support the lowering of uk standards, but I do support changing them and even raising them, if they can be used as hidden tariffs to protect the home market and its producers.
1
@マウリツィオ-g6e where?? If that is the case, the eu quest for a level playing field is pointless, as the decision will have been made.

@マウリツィオ-g6e I have no doubt that Chinese electronics companies are already demanding royalties for the use of their technology. It is certainly true of 5G and Tetra.
