Brexit

[whiskeryron]

Now that the country has voted to leave the EU (& I was one who voted out,) 48% who wanted to stay in are very downhearted. Would it be at all possible that we could re-negotiate to stay in The Common Market which is what we signed up to in the fist place ? Quite a lot of us Brexiteers objected strongly to losing the ability to be governed by our own elected MPs & also the inability to control our own borders. I feel that the original Common Market was a good thing until Brussels started to make it a political organisation.

No, we should get out then negotiate trade deals etc. You cannot get half out the nature of the EU constitution does not allow for that.

Although I had/have no problems with the concept of a "Common Market"
why is that even needed.....
surely free markets and dealing is what its all about, so you can get the best deals, buyer or seller..the eussr is all about monopolies that they decide on...

they want to dictate who to, how much, where from etc

they had no problem in allowing the Frankfurt (German) soon to be eussr stock exchange gaining a 51% majority stake in the LSE...who do they think theyre fooling here...

It appears Whiskeryron is wavering, having second thoughts maybe.

The original idea of the European Economic Community (the “Common Market”) was good. Many areas in the world have formed trading blocs to facilitate trade. The rot set in in 1992 when that nice Mr Major signed the Maastricht Treaty. This fundamentally changed the EEC to an enormous degree and the EU was born. It was clear that from then on the trade and economic advantages of the EEC would pay second fiddle to political integration.

No other area on earth in recent times has seen the need for political integration of so many disparate nations on the scale of the EU. Similar schemes that have followed a similar model in the past have ended in disaster and tears.

We need to be completely out of the EU and simply forge trading links with it (it is impossible to forge links with the individual nations) as do non-EU nations. Nothing else will do.

I dont think he is at all, hes just stating what a lot of people would be ok with, which is what the original spiel was, a trading relationship, not a political empire takeover and rule relationship..but we now know the extent of the lies and what the masterplan always was...

[New Judge]

Definitely noo second thoughts from me. In fact I am aghast at our politcians who seem to be in denial, hoping they will wake from a bad dream.

The details of our future relationship with the EU are complex and will take time to hammer out. But the principle is not. We need to invoke Article 50 forthwith.

[bazwillrun]

none from me either, never ever had any second thoughts where the eussr and its masterplan is concerned.

This nation has survived far greater threats in its past.
nothing comes without a price...in the recent past (WWII) the price was human lives so if this time its fiscal then thats a small price to pay in my opinion...

[Old_Geezer]

We could start one. Although I reckon we only need tariff free trading. Was it Sweden or Denmark that has already hinted at being interested ? Read something from a link here, yesterday.

Why should we re-negotiate the referendum result? Lots of people are unhappy with a normal election result, but nobody asks for a rerun of an election.
