How the EU is making a successful Brexit Difficult

[chopper]

They have a two round voting system which while developed to get rid of extreme candidates early on doesn't always work that way.

Indeed, so the First Round is a better guage of how the French are thinking.

21.3% voted Le Pen in the first round. Compare that to 12.7% voting UKIP in the UK in GE2015 and yet 52% support for leaving the EU.

There are the pro-EU who see this as a good thing! More EU is not the answer, it will only guide fence sitters towards the extreme candidates.

Oddly we seem to have a long way to fall

Skills shortage bites as fall in unemployment leaves Britain short of engineers to fill new jobs*

There's a shortage of engineers willing to work for half the pay of the guys in marketing at the same company. It's not a shortage of skilled people but rather a shortage of people willing to do what they're trained for at rates that companies want to pay.

Don't forget Melenchon who got 19% and was anti EU and globalisation.

you mean we shouldn't employ cheap imports like we have for decades?

And you are the idiot feckless relative who is always out of work and who turns up uninvited at family events to make poor quality racist jokes and leer drunkenly at your nieces.

These companies operate in a global market, if there are jobs are on offer with low pay, that's because the company is sh*te, simply taking people out of the market won't change that, the company will simply close or move.

It's called "productivity".
