Remain in the event of a Brexit

[DimPrawn]

And in 2015:

The Daily Mail - Cameron and Osborne quietly pay the £1.7BILLION bill from Brussels which they dismissed as 'totally unacceptable'

Thought it was only the EU that din't allow democracy.

The difference being we elected the people making this decision, and can vote them out. We can't with the EU lot.

The budget explained - How is the budget decided? - Budget

Based on the multiannual financial framework Regulation in force and the budget guidelines for the coming year, the European Commission prepares the draft budget and submits it by 1 September to the Council and the European Parliament. The Council first adopts its position on the draft budget by 1 October (including amendments). The position of the Parliament follows within 42 days (also including eventual amendments).

Council = David Cameron, Merkel & co.
Parliament = the people we directly elect.

I thought you were smarter than this? Isn't it about time you switched sides?

They were elected to run the country not delegate to outsiders on who they depend on for a "post parliament" career.

It is. Had we not been in the EU this would not have happened.

[m0n1k3r]

Guess what? We paid.

Can we trust Camoron on anything? No.

He was absolutely right in that tweet. The bill had nothing to do with him and wasn't addressed to him so obviously he should not pay, which he didn't. It was sent to the UK after our representatives in the EU had agreed to the change in calculation and the UK paid.

Are we having a go at the House of Lords now? Okay then. Lexit!
