Obviously remoaner fake news bollox.
But, even it were true, it's a small price to be free of the shackles of the EU.
Any price is worth paying to be outside the EU. Not that there is a price; that's just remoaners making tulip up.

The problem is that we haven't yet realised the potential benefits from being outside the EU (unless of course you include the Covid issue(s) and the Ukraine war and the fact our economy is more affected by worldwide trading that the EU's large internal market), one reason for which - and there are several admittedly, including poor government performance - is changes being blocked by a coterie of Remainers getting in the way.
So I'm with DOND for once. People need to live with reality, not fantasy.Blog? What blog...?Comment

Genuine question.... what 'potential benefits' ? I've yet to see any Brexit supporter give a tangible benefit which could not have be realised within the EU.And the lord said unto John; "come forth and receive eternal life." But John came fifth and won a toaster.Comment

We don’t need lawnmower insurance that we didn’t need anyway
A signpost in the Dartford tunnel is less confusing
We’re not bound by tax regulations that impact offshore trusts
And we are in full control of our borders, like how quickly we closed them at the start of the pandemic…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

You're not a member of the Palestine Liberation Front or the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine by any chance...?
It's not all about the economy, important as that is. It's about sovereignty. The people that signed up for the EEC under the great statesman Heath did not sign up to be a part of a federal European state under those other major statesmen, Blair and Major.Blog? What blog...?Comment

I've yet to see any Brexit supporter give a tangible benefit which could not have be realised within the EU.- It's harder to buy stuff from the EU. All but one of the companies I used to buy from can't be arsed with the hassle of exporting to the UK.
- It's harder to retire to Spain etc. Many more hoops to jump through, plus financial bars to gaining residency. Having to take a Spanish driving test.
- Soon there's going be impediments to traveling there. Visas, and even talk of finger prints. Not the end of the world but just more arse ache.

As I understand it, there are direct elections, e.g. I used to vote for MEPs. There are also indirect elections, e.g. national leaders vote for the President of the EU Commission.
Looking at the UK, there's a similar indirect process. E.g. the last few Prime Ministers have been elected by Conservative MPs and/or Conservative party members, but I never got a vote in that.
