Why do you think any political party in the UK will ever have an EU referendum if they got into power? Get real.Comment

Originally posted by stek View PostOnly true Communism will work, but we are all too greedy for it.
Communism, in fact, scares the hell out of the UK/US. Pointing back to the cold war, the raping of vietnam and the negative press on china. The only thing stopping the US bullying china just like other countries worldwide is the fact china owns a lot of western debt and bonds and we are reliant on their manufacturing, while they progress and catch up to us exporting more knowledge and IP. Communism works very well there and keeps the disparity needed to enable them to be a global superpower while catching up in development.

Cameron has tried to do things, like cut university subsidies, but IMHO, he hasnt gone far enough and needs to cut more. He fails the balls/cajones, to stand up and make such cuts and then organise the Mets to go and crack protestors skulls. Instead, we end up with the UK descending to riots because everyone knows the government wont stop them since they fail to stand up for their own policies.
Originally posted by escapeUK View PostAfter the recent EU referendum disgrace I wont be voting for any of the three main parties ever again.
The disgrace was before the EU referendum, but on that point, it is a farce of democracy to order your staff to vote in a particular way and a lack of integrity for all MP's that fell in line. An MP is elected to impose the will of it's constituants. Ignoring your voters, is a direct violation of their job. They are public servants, servants elected to invoke our will. At no point, shall a servant disobey their master.
If you really want to be angry, be angry at the AV referendum. The only chance we had to get rid of FPTP where for the last two decades, parties before the coalition got in power with a minority vote, less than 35% of the votes. The conservatives spent millions on a smear campaign of AV. Some of you might have had a leaflet through the door before the referendum in purple and green, telling you why AV was "bad". They passed off our current FPTP and made it sound like a democratic system like PR. Commoners/those with a weaker inferior mind, before the mailshot, knew the difference between the systems, yet when I asked the same people after, they confused FPTP with PR. It was quite astounding and I bet Milgram would have loved to study peoples reactions and the result like I did. Once again, proving the same hypothesis, an overwhelming majority, will do, say, believe and even kill, mame and fight to the death, simply because they are ordered to do so and integrity, morality and humanity, is meaningless when someone is manipulated by a single piece of A5 paper or a verbal command.
I dream of PR, where every vote is counted, every voice recognised and democracy followed in the UK instead of being a facade for totalitarianism, but that will never happen, that is why, quite relevant to your name, many including myself are planning to escape the UK, as the germans have done exactly as the frankfurt think tank predicted. The allies won the battle, but lost the war, which is an insult to our dead and buried families who fought to stop fascism, yet it covertly exists stronger today than ever before.

Always seems like the UK gets shafted the most.

Originally posted by escapeUK View PostI cant imagine it will ever improve without a World War or a significant pandemic. But in the mean time I will vote for extremist parties
If you vote for an extremist party, you throw your vote away. Feel free to vote UKIP or BNP on a EU election, then dependant on your area, they may stand a chance of gaining a seat. If you do in a general though, your vote is never even counted, so you might as well just not have voted in the first place.
Until PR is a reality, that is the way of a *scoff scoff* democratic nation. Even a republican nation is fairer than a democratic system, even though those living within one are so stupid, they think they live within a democracy.Comment

Anyway, feel free to make a coherent point on the merits of what I said if you disagree with it, rather than picking a misspelling/failed edit.Comment

- What question would such a referendum ask?
- What do you expect the real impact would be in practice (i.e. in the real world) if a referendum result was "leave the EU"?
- Or, what do you expect to happen if a referendum result was "get back powers from the EU". What powers? Who chooses them? How would this be achieved?
- Or, what else would it ask? What do you want exactly?
An "EU referendum" would be fairly pointless, especially at this point in time where voters are swung this way and that daily by news from the eurozone. I think it's time for some others on here to "get real" and think through what they are complaining about. Really.Comment
