Regrexit

[gulliver1]

A new poll says if a referendum was held now.
Only 31% of Brits would vote to leave the EU.

[gulliver1]

Fender @ 16.56 "It was about immigration" Oh no it was not! Naomi has told me so many times Brexit was not about immigration" Ok! and that was from a Mod so it must be correct otherwise she would not be a Mod, would she.

[naomi24]

For me it wasn’t about immigration, Gulliver. Nothing to do with being a mod.

[Old_Geezer]

Where was the poll held, outside Remoaner Central ?

[Old_Geezer]

Immigration was just one of many attractions. In order to achieve any of them the it was vital to first regain sovereignty. The only thing is, the present set of politicians are apparently not keen on their job so aren't making the most of their newly reclaimed control. They are much more keen on staying in with/obeying global powergroups, keeping EU law whether appropriate or not, and pandering to noisy pressure groups inc. those who use the environment as their hobbyhorse. It may be a while before candidates with the guts to do what is needed come onto the scene. But hold on, the existing shower can't be in position for ever. May help if you avoid voting for the traditional 3 main parties next GE. Give normality a chance.

[bobbinwales]

[gulliver1]

22.14 Can you help me out again please.
You say, "okay your clearly just winding us up....who are "us "???????????
"

[tomus42]

The referendum wasn't held now. It was held then, and we voted to leave.

[Zacs-Master]

Well, just a smidgen over half of those who bothered to vote did.

[bazwillrun]

"This is a UK site"

and you're not in the UK, so best you go then eh

[ynnafymmi]

The British people were told lies,gulliver.The company i work for nearly collapsed(throwing hundreds out of work)because of Brexit.Only the loyalty of our Spanish and Portuguese buyers(and our boss paying out hundreds of thousands of pounds setting up a Spanish agency in Spain)saved my company from going bust.Brexit?...the biggest self-inflicting injury Britain ever done to itself.

[david small]

Pitiful and pointless.

[rowanwitch]

I voted to leave for the following reasons
A) The interference in our lawmaking and the effects of the European control on issues such as human rights.
B) That decision making appeared to be controlled by unelected commissioners
C) Countries with weaker economies were aligning too closely with the France Germany power bloc so voting within the EU was no longer fair to countries who saw things differently to the French and German
D) I and many of my peers voted to join a common market, not a European equivalent of the USA.
E). I hoped we could still agree terms that allowed movement of genuine workers between and member states, if not completely freely but maybe with fewer restrictions. Everyone got so wound up with what would happen with Northern Ireland it seems everything else was ignored in the name of expediency.
F) The common currency, but more for what that change would represent in terms of national identity.

While I would like the introduction of a more Australian approach to immigration Geography makes this problematic. Australia is protected by a much wider sea barrier, unlike the UK, and there are too many relatively short sea crossing points into western Europe as a whole, as well as the huge land borders with the East. It didn't figure as part of my decision making.

//Australia is protected by a much wider sea barrier, unlike the UK//

Depends upon which countries you wish to consider as people smugglers Rowan.

[1ozzy]

We are very close to some Asian countries and islands.

[rowanwitch]

1ozzy, thought your nearest neighbours were hundreds rather than tens of miles away. More than a rib can manage anyway, at least a bigger boat can be spotted and either stopped or brought to harbour in a managed fashion
