Surely its best not to trigger Article 50?

Years of legal battles in UK and EU ahead.

Businesses have no idea how to plan for the future nobody can deliver on the unknown.

The EU rules and Regs are regarded by the other countries as irritating no more.

The housing crisis and our mounting debts are more important IMO.

The Italian economic problems will kick start the next bomb to go off, and then there's the East European brain drain edging the EU to its likely collapse anyway.

If we remain then California will be one big step closer whilst everyone can enjoy

cheaper holidays to get that one extra night more p1ssed

Cheaper shopping to buy the essential crisps and sweets

More take aways and take away shops

More gambling and gambling shops with betting terminals.

If we saw this through the short term inflation and mortgage rate rises we could mend a lot of the country's ills. Export more, more and better jobs. Less welfare, less debt spirals, less reliance on large companies and shareholder greed. But no, we'll go for the short term as we usually do. All could consumer based and going round in circles with the poorest forever poor.


Thing is though you would need a radical social reformist Government with the mandate, the will and the clout to make things happen as in the late 1940's. The wet blanket brigade we have had in for decades will never counter such action now or in the future and especially those from the Tory side of the fence. The idea that leaving the EU will somehow forge a positive inclusive social revolution here in the UK is la-la land territory.

This whole thing is not really about Europe if you dig even slightly. It has been our own successive governments who have let so many people and the country itself down.

Can't beat the system. Go with the flow. Go go with the flow.

Devalued currency is a good place to start, rather than deluding ourselves we're all rich and always will be when the truth is the country is gradually becoming financially poorer.

They can, if they can rule something either unconstitutional or undemocratic... but yes, for the most part.

Best doesn't come into democracy. In fact democracy exists because the 'best systems' are inherently flawed and untrustworthy...

I think that Parliament will vote to support an exit but the argument will be more about 'establishing' an exit, rather than just a yes/no.

I thought someone said all the Brexit voters were over 60. Unless there is an intermission with tea and scones I can't see it gathering enough momentum.

The above is a flippant comment in case any of you weren't aware of my reputation.

if they can drag it out for a few more years most of them will be dead anyway so there won't be anyone to protest against a Brexit u-turn

Oh Stop it.

You know it's a bloody disgraceful and cynical attempt to overturn a democratic vote. It will ultimately fail.

I might be wrong, but didn't the woman who asked for the case to be taken to high court a 'brexiter' anyway?
