Electric Scooter Posted May 25 #2 Share Posted May 25 Brexit has not failed. We have high inflation due to Russian sanctions and a coronavirus rebound. 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L.A.T.1961 Posted May 25 #4 Share Posted May 25 Its a question worth asking I voted no. but it would be only a snapshot of what folk think has happened up to now. As we all know the UK leaving the EU will be a rolling situation and will look different as we go forward. I would say that one important step was the Labour party deciding to drop the idea of another referendum and proclaim they will make brexit work. A bit vague but still a significant change of policy. My own conclusion after the first day of independence was to wait for ten years and then try and see what's happened. 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Setton Posted May 26 #8 Share Posted May 26 So based on the current results, still basically 50/50 split except now no one cares enough to vote. 7 years well wasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason I started the poll is because a brexit thread claimed something like 5 out of 6 people now regret brexit. That seems to be an untruth by whichever media published it.

odas Posted May 26 #11 Share Posted May 26 A much more interresting poll would be to ask EU countries if they are better off now than with the UK as a member. 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Media (who are mostly all Remainers ) go to those they know are on their side for Polls , the B.B.C broadcasting channel are all still Remainers , so they don't tell truthfull facts ,if the population of this Country wanted to go back they would be screaming for a Referendum , but I can't hear any screaming . we are free and tend to remain so ,even our shadow Gov't has done a U turn on this .

Sure about this? First, the EU is not a country so it is rubbish to talk about it being a democracy or not. It is a UNION made up of DEMOCRATIC countries where some of them are left, center or right but in any of them we have a free peoples (democratic) elections. Since the forming of the EU people of those countries enjoy prosperity, freedom of movement, health benefits.....and many other perks. Is it perfect? No. Does it have flaws? Yes. But noone can tell me that Europe, as a continent, 40 years ago was better off than today. 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the smaller ones are very pro-EU but their size means they cannot hold their own so need a bigger union. The larger countries would exit like someone in an office has the plague.

The larger countries would exit like someone in an office has the plague. The larger countries, Germany and France, are the backbone of EU. Spain would have been in a civil war without it. Italy has more visitors than ever before, and I don't mean just the immigrants but yes them too. Poland has gained like noone else. But, I do agree and I said it before. EU got too big too soon. Germany and France are pulling the highest burden. Countries like Hungary, Romania should have not been included yet. Bosnia, and you know I am originaly from Bosnia, a veteran who fought for this country, should not be included untill the country is truly democratic, until the workers get paid on a regular basis, until corruption is under control...and so on. And I understand why brexit, mainly for the reasons that UK was investing in the poor countries but did not get back anything. But, this could have been solved with negotiations, updated rights and obligations of memberstates without brexit. Unfortunately there was no will on both sides to negotiate. 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
