I'm for in. :D Countries out. :D Eventually we might get on with it. :roll:

Cornwall will go independent anyways, then the toll with be both ways :P
They have switched on the Traffic lights at Carkeel round about today. That will stop any one getting in or out. :cry:
 
Well Im 57 so i suppose that constitutes as being oldish and I voted remain ..from what I see and read it's looking like a complete (pardon my French ) cluster f***
 
I'm still an avid Remainer despite being old - having said this there is so much arrogance and corruption within the EU I can understand why so many people voted out - the EU really needs to be reformed from within but I can't see that happening in a hurry :( Our present government are an absolute joke and the EU negotiators know this - UK negotiators have no real authority and the Tories are so divided as to what should be the desired outcome of Brexit :cry:

Throughout all this this the present Government will do anything to remain in power as we have seen with the obscene money being promised to NI for 10 votes :x

At the end of the day however there is no going back on the vote and we are definitely going to get shafted either way - we might just as well walk away now - pay them fcuk all and just start out on our own .
 
I used to be a huge supporter of the EU but the way they made ireland vote again on the lisbon treaty dented my opinion, and then the way they treated greece finished them off in my eyes. democracy is a dirty word in EU land, and I dont want any part of it.
 
I voted out but after this inept governments efforts I would porbably change my vote not necessarily because I don’t think being out isn’t a good idea it’s just this bunch of idiots couldn’t organise a p*ss up in a brewery
 
Red, Blue , Yellow - no matter what government we have they are all inept!
It’s all about feathering their own nests.
 
The current government aren’t fit for office and those in power at the EU are so corrupt it would be a joke if it weren’t so serious.

It feels to me, that which ever way we vote, we are being shafted, lied to and ripped off. The whole system is a mess, wether that’s the conservative, labour , eu, etc.

To be honest, I don’t want any affiliation with any of these parties or organisations. None of them represent me, my views or moral values.

Both remain and leave would have to make huge changes to their policies and how their respective supporters/leaders behave, for me to consider voting again.

It’s not just the referendum but issues all around the country that need addressing and I have zero faith that anyone either side is capable to even scratch the surface.
 
Pretty much everything I expected with ‘out’ is happening. Economy slowing, £ down to euro, political infighting, inability to get any sort of deal, no chance of new trade agreements, Europe building up to damage everything, etc.
Actually sat in with trade secretary last week and it’s pitiful where we are.
Would still vote to stay.
 
I can see why folks would be considering changing their minds with everything going on, but we're not even half way through this particular game of poker. I'd like to see the final outcome, after all the posturing from the Eurocrats as well as our people is done and once the likes of BMW/Mercedes/Audi/FIAT/Peugeot etc seriously start thinking their UK sales might take a pummeling and get into the ribs of Merkel and co. It will be interesting to see what effect that has on the final position. However the flip side of this is our current weak PM/Cabinet etcand the fact that some leavers may now be potentially wavering because of the pound/economy. If I was a Eurocrat I would still be thinking we have a good chance of killing this altogether or at least get them to haveanother referendum.

The whole referendum thing was a mistake, not that we shouldn't have had one. But what should of happened was a series of questions taking the temp of the nation on the individual issues. Almost like a mini census. Questions like are you in favor of open boarders YES/NO. Should our courts have absolute sovereignty YES/NO. With sub questions based on your previous answers. Ok, your not in favour of blanket open boarders, how about open boarders for core EU Countries but not for the like of Romania/Poland etc The majority verdict should have shaped our bargaining position with Cameron and Co going to the EU with a strong mandate of "this is what the people of the UK want our relationship with Europe to look like, if we dont get this we may be off. Then the final deal put to us in an IN/OUT referendum.

Might be a bit naive to think this would have ever happened but it would have been a damn sight better/fairer/more sensible than the blanket in/out vote we got.

We've only ended up where we are due to Camerons half arsed attempts to kill the whole Europe debate and fufill the election promise. He landed a few concessions with Europe that no one would ever notice the difference and thought "that will do! the outcome of a referendum is a sure thing anyway." Well hes made a pigs ear of all that, but then again he does like pigs! :rofl:
 
I'm still in favour of getting out - I just wish there were some signs of us getting out! :(

I realise an awful lot of politicians only serve their own interests, but at least our MPs are more likely to do something useful for the UK than the MEPs (who mostly represent other countries)!

We have our MEP s as well, who I hope have represented the UK with the same partisan bias !

Maybe, but with only 72 in a parliament of 751 members they can't really protect our interests very effectively! :lol:

There is the problem, our MEPs are british and as such are always following the rules, rather than looking out for the UK interests.
 
If I could vote there ( as an expat) I would say OUT, I remember when we joined the Common Market, it seems we were ok before that and trade deals were in place then. The politicians seem to be dragging their heels, much like lawyers who don’t really want a verdict.

Is Canada self sufficienct ?
 
We have lots of natural resources, oil, gas , lumber, mining .....we import oil from the Arab nations while stopping pipelines of oil from the western province of Alberta, of which there is a lot. Stifling the economy of our country. We also export all the raw materials to other countries (China and Japan) so we can have them make stuff and sell it back to us. I’ll gladly trade you a Justin Trudeau for a Theresa May, maybe even throw in a French province as a bonus .....
In short, we are self sufficient but the govt won’t let us.
 
Never had a vote, but in the mean time sorted the family out with European passports. No change in view over here, but voting with my feet by letting the "out" lot sorting themselves out whilst I am moving all business activities abroad in EU and USA.
