Re: The Org EU referendum
Re-negotiate?
For that we need a Statesman with cojones. Oh dear, we just buried her! In no way is Cameron the man for this job, and the last two PMs were far worse.

Re: The Org EU referendum
Oh. I was under the impression that we could stay in the EEC when leaving the EU.

Re: The Org EU referendum
I voted no... but I also think yes... so should have perhaps selected KeithD.
Yes because of the bull**** human rights laws that prevent terrorist being extradited, therefore costing the taxpayer millions in legals fees and upkeep of his huge family. No because of all the far more technical aspects that the UK would struggle to deal with themselves... mainly EU Directives and such like that thankfully prevent us from buying non CE compliant toys imported from china that are toxic or don't meet other safety standards... or having lifts that can close and chop your head off. Yes the UK can sometimes interpret a 2 page directive or standard document into 200 pages, but if they didn't then we wouldn't have anything at all as this goverment wouldn't think or have the capacity to produce the 2 pages document in the first place.

Re: The Org EU referendum
I think the people talking about staying in the EEC actually mean joining the EFTA, which has effectively replaced it

Re: The Org EU referendum
Whilst true I was surprised the other day by how much the eu covers that the uk does not with British standards... And EU directives are just some of the many things that you don't typically think about when thinking of pulling out of the EU.
To someone I'll informed like me it's not a clear picture of what we would gain, and what we would lose. Sadly most people will vote on the basis of typical red top news reports on the EU preventing the UK from being able to extradite Abu Mohammed whoever his name is, rather than an actual informed choice. I think if it went to the vote we would probably be out.
