@Sir_Gerald_Nosehairs. But what was also clear beforehand was that the UK government was on many points held in check by the EU. And now they are free to do what they want. It's so telling that one of the first things that came up in the chamber was loosening restriction on selling weapons to dictatorships.... But I respect your choice, your arguments are at least based in reality, and not like DS9TREK above that is just brainwashed by BS. The only reason I object to your reasoning is basically that the UK government is more corrupt than the EU in my eyes. Thus EU holding some say was good for the citizens of the UK.

@pwp8737 You talk about others being educated at Trump university while your whole premise is built on blatant BS? "Before the euro, Greece had low levels of gov't, private and consumer debt, they lived within their means and experienced steady growth. " Yeah, nice lying there. Not even close to the truth, in any way shape or form. "Before acceptance into the Eurozone in 2001, Greece’s economy was plagued by several problems. During the 1980s, the Greek government had pursued expansionary fiscal and monetary policies. However, rather than strengthening the economy, the country suffered soaring inflation rates, high fiscal and trade deficits, low growth rates, and exchange rate crises. "

@thatisme3thatisme38 Remember that Greece is not only an example of bad governance, but it an even better example of what happens when the foundation of your country is built with loans to the most horrible people on this earth, vulture capitalists. It's like throwing someone in a raging river and then complain that they don't swim well enough. Sure, it may be a valid critique but there is quite some more to the story than that.
