Well: 1. According to the IMF - the UK had higher real GDP growth in 2021 than France or Germany. 2. I quite like the idea of democracy. So giving the EU the boot was a step in the right direction from that POV. I get that not everyone is a fan of democracy however, and EU fans tend not to be.

@NMY232 1. Comparing the entire Eurozone with the UK is fairly meaningless since poorer countries generally grow a lot faster - that was why it's fairer to make the comparisson with peers like France and Germany. Not with Bulgaria 2. The EU is one of only two government bodies in the world that legislates in secret. The other is North Korea.

@Okay-cd6be Insults are what stupid people use instead of reasoned argument.

That's exactly what Sunak has done - while neglecting to do even the easiest and most obvious things to alleviate our problems, such as issuing fracking licenses, cutting the flow of corruption (sorry "aid") to Ukraine, or ceasing the hiring of endless woke activists into public service jobs. Nothing will get better if the people at the top don't want it to.

@teddyboysdontknit810 "what has GDP got to do with quality of life" Very little, which is why I find it so bizarre that submission or absence from the EU is discussed almost entirely in those terms. "The EU parliament is more democratic than the UK." The British people vote for the house of commons - the body that drafts our laws. The EU commission (the body that drafts EU laws) is totally unelected and totally unaccountable. I'm well aware you EU cultists regard yourselves as a sort of "superior caste" and look on the ordinary people's of Europe with contempt and disgust: but I'm afraid that isn't how we regard ourselves. And like the those tiresome men in England in the 1640s, France in the 1790s and Poland in the 1980s: we're not willing to leave everything to our self appoint "betters" without any question or accountability.

@NMY232 "The Eurozone traditionally always had lower growth than the UK" Wow - I wasn't expecting you to make the argument Euro-sceptics usually make. I would applaud your honesty only you obviously merely blurted that out because you hadn't thought it through. As for the commission - it is unelected and unaccountable: an intolerable state of affairs for a body with so much power, and which would certainly not be acceptable in any nation-state that claimed to be democratic.
