    After the last 2 years, I think it should be closed.

    Brussels is far better.

    Do you know who Martin Selmayr is?

    The European parliament voted by a 71% majority that Martin Selmayr should resign as secretary-general of the EU commission after his "coup-like" appointment.

    He is still there. The EU commission is undemocratic. QED.

    Parliament calls for Selmayr’s resignation in landslide vote – EURACTIV.com

    The first Brexit withdrawal agreement was written by McKinsey who definitely aren't civil servants or politicians or have the Tory party now privatised the government without anyone knowing?

    I would like to see the UK follow the US model of 3 lots of voting. Including the executive branch. In effect, its what happens now except the executive branch is unelected.

    Referendum should be banned. In fact we need a referendum on it.....
