I'm not sure how Obama will benefit from the UK staying in Europe. Anyone care to enlighten me?

TTIP

Why isn't being outside the EU better?

It might be. What I said has not bearing on that. I just said your logic is flawed (though not as spectacularly stupid as GB9's comparison of the EU with a bad girlfriend). It is entirely possible to draw a correct conclusion from incorrect logic.

Very kind of you to notice. You clearly skipped your psychology classes.

Without any voted mandate to do so. If you had put that to the electorate 20 years ago and thrown in an EU army do you really believe the people of the UK would have said yes? Zero chance.

Very fair point. Indeed I think Maastricht was the point where the UK should have put it's foot down and got more in terms of 'Opt outs' from the EU, in return for not doing a veto on the Euro. The UK had a very strong hand then and I don't think Major played it to the max. However the basic fact still remains that there is a very high chance of major cost to the country from a 'Hard Brexit' and a 'Soft Brexit' may even be worse long term as it could keep us chained to the EU in many ways, without having any ability to influence/change their laws or direction of travel.

I am not sure I understand your argument. The fact is that the EU has little prospect for any sort of economic growth. High unemployment shows no signs of abating and a supranational authority prevents any country from making any reforms of its own. fair enough leaving the EU may make matters worse but the dynamics of economics and history suggest that the EU itself is part of the problem.

oh dear you obviously don't know when you are in a possessive relationship.

Funnily enough, that doesn't surprise me. With GB9 being the brains of the rabid brexiteers an' all...

I have never pretended to be bright so humour me and eplain your point clearly

Watching the Shultz interview on the BBC he can see this is not a good state of affairs for the rest of the EU.

A more sober counterpoint to the "you were tulip in bed anyway" teenager break up attitude from Junker,
