My gripe with the EU is that since 1980, the trend for support has moved from small business towards large corporates. Many Brits were very much against the CAP that favoured small farms that are found mainly in France and some other EU countries. I thought the CAP subsidies were a good thing as it guaranteed work for the rural communities, it meant that we had quality food and a reliable supply of food be it slightly more expensive. Supporting large conglomerates results in less tax revenue, fewer jobs, poor quality service, poor quality food and poor health.
The fact that DB can buy a rail franchise in the UK and use the profits to subsidise German railways (DB) is not the fault of the Germans but the fault of the gross incompetence of the UK government.
Let's stay in the EU and work with like-minded people in other EU countries.

Although with the economic decline UK will suffer they might be afraid they might have to rescue it...

Originally posted by darmstadt View PostI would be be very wary until they actually put it down in writing on their official election pledges that they will revoke Brexit.
Remainers still bleat that the referendum was advisory (wasn't there a thread about this on here recently?) and that election pledges shouldn't be honoured, so why trust the LD's?
I think they'll get a few more seats and then support a minority Labour government in coalition. That'll be interesting when it comes to the socialist policies being advanced by John McDonnell and Comrade K's apparent Eurosceptic tendencies
Fun times
Update: LDs say they won't prop up a Corbyn government.Last edited by Platypus; 16 September 2019, 16:06.

In fairness it's a good move by them, they have long established themselves as the remain party.
I think they will pull more votes away from Labour/Conservatives than the Brexit Party will, maybe enough to get them into a coalition
