    A vassal state with a veto, how do you think Margaret Thatcher got the rebate.

    She basically threatened to block all future EU decisions. She would have paralysed the EU, so they had no choice.

    (a) the UK hasn't left....yet
    (b) you can only be a vassal state to another state. The EU isn't a state

    Britain to become a vassal state of the EU

    In other words like being in the EU, i.e. having rules shoved down its throat, but with huge queues at the border.

    Brexit 3.0 will simply be very similar but even worse.

    Apparently the UK is now getting Bill Gates to help with Brexit 3.0. In the demo version the UK is doing very well.

    Oh Jacob!

    Now:

    “A second referendum would be very dangerous territory… it would be seen as the characteristic European hatred of democracy, so if you vote the wrong way you get made to vote again until you vote the right way.”
    Then:

    “Indeed, we could have two referendums. As it happens, it might make more sense to have the second referendum after the renegotiation is completed.”

    How are pensioners a net contributor to the economy? Figures also show that there are more professional people leaving the UK than returning...
