Title: Brexit or Not
Post by: Number 6 on June 04, 2016, 09:21:38 pm
Whatever your position on the great EU debate I wonder if, like me , you have found the debate less than encouraging on what real solutions to the UK and EU's economic malaise look like ? With such a lack of sensible discourse I thought I would share the following, which is the first sensible bit of writing I have seen in a long time. gets my vote anyway. :-)

Some interesting extra detail on how the campaigns are fairing and what our co-members think. Some surprising results - or perhaps not ?  http://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/newsreferendum/msn-users%e2%80%99-brexit-poll-even-germans-and-french-say-britain-should-quit/ar-AAh1uEt?ocid=spartandhp

Just in case there is any doubt on the size of our issues economically then the following link should help map the size of the problem. The big question is does the solution lay in or out of the EU. http://www.msn.com/en-gb/money/markets/a-crash-is-coming-if-we-dont-begin-real-investment/ar-AAh9ncF?ocid=spartandhp

 According to Jean-Claude Juncker.
"Too many politicians are listening exclusively to their national opinion. And if you are listening to your national opinion you are not developing what should be a common European sense and a feeling of the need to put together efforts. We have too many part-time Europeans."

Now that polling is over I hope that we can all get behind whatever the result is and forget the differences that the campaigns of both sides has created. We all owe it to our children to make the best of our opportunities in an increasingly difficult world, but we will not do this if we continue to feud amongst ourselves.
