Why do Remainers think being in the EU is a "good thing"

[JohntheBike]

This. I don't know about the "million times better" but I do believe we'll be economically worse off leaving.

"we'll be economically worse off leaving"

apart from the fact that is only an opinion and only time will tell, many people voted to leave based on other issues, and most obviously on immigration and the potential for restrictions on their lifestyle. So economics didn't figure in their choice.

So by your reasoning, the UK needs to leave every international organisation that it is a member of and follows their rules such as the WTO, FIFA, UN, etc...

Please let us leave FIFA. Anything to reduce football on tellie....

1. Highest court will be UK court of law, not EU court of law. A country that doesn't decide it's own laws is basically a vassal state.

By that logic, uneducated unskilled cretins living in Swindon won't get freedom of movement within the UK.

2.

How much does Britain really pay into the EU budget? | The UK and Europe | Debates | E!Sharp



£280mln per week (after rebates) is a colossal waste of money.

3. Freedom of movement is wrong. All countries should be able to turn away people that do not meet immigration criteria (health, skills, education, criminality, references). We do this for non-EU people it is only fair we apply the same rules to everybody.

That's right. We must immediately close the border to Scotland. The Union has brought nothing trouble.

[original PM]

Let's put aside the totally simplistic interpretation of 'democracy'. Let's ask the question "Is it more democratic to follow the will of the people three years ago rather than the will of the people today?"


Brexiteers just keep grimly hanging on to a perverted moment in time. It's long gone and we've moved on.

I mean the same could be said of any decision.

Maybe we should have another GE with just 2 choices a leave party and a remain party.

Winner takes all..

It's like a second referendum with a different name.
