    Well that may or may not be true.

    But by failing to address the concerns of a significant part of the population the second largest budget contributor to the EU has started the exit process.

    Political organisations that fail to respond to the wishes of the population they govern always fail.

    Can't really see a downside. It would completely eliminate EU immigration, 'cos we'd be one big country.

    If I were a Scot I'd know who I'd rather side with. Let's think about this, the UK or SNP/Greens. Hmmm...

    FTFY

    Maybe if they'd left it at that, we wouldn't be off?

    The Prime Minister should exploit the current turmoil in the EU to get the best deal for Britain in the upcoming Brexit negotiations, Telegraph columnist Allister Heath argues.

    In a new video 'Article 50: Theresa May's Winning Hand', Heath shows just how powerful her negotiating position could actually be.

    He contends that the rise of populism on the continent, the strength of Britain's economy and Europe's fear of terrorism all make a good deal for the UK more likely.

    And he urges Mrs May as she triggers Article 50 to recognise that she could have the upper hand and go 'all in' when the chance to strike arises.

    "The EU is on the verge of the abyss," he says. "We need to leave quickly. But it is clear that Theresa May has a winning hand."
