    First thing that will happen is that somebody on Millersmad will start a new thread about it, even though there will be lots of other threads on the same topic

    You've literally just described France at the moment.

    I seriously cannot tell you how much people are hating Macron here. Yesterday thearmy was posted in Paris to stop the people damaging buildings and property. Now all protests in France have to registered any that aren't the police have the right to fine everyone 25€ for being there.

    The fuel prices have been raised again and prices in general have gone up. The social changes are coming into force and are looking simular to the UK system. It's a better system but the French people will lose out.

    Macron is not going to get elected again but he'll walk into a top job at the EU.

    If only the press would report about the similarities.

    In or out of the EU, the heads of the European states are a band of warring brothers/sisters trying to screw the workers by pushing through their austerity programmes. In France that has met large scale resistance in various ways. In the UK some of that discontent has been expressed by people starting repetitive threads about it all on football websites (for some unknown reason). Once upon a time the UK was not in the EU, then it joined. The day after it joined, was there a noticeable difference to everyday life, other than it being easier to go on holiday abroad? I don't remember any tanks in the streets

    Pretty much true. If we leave the EU soon, the conditions we see around us would not get better as the issues around us are caused by our government's choices.

    It could be considerably worse however and not just on economic grounds. How will NHS and social care improve with a substantial decrease in care workers? In the desired utopia of substantially less immigrant workers doing jobs lower than the 30k cut off, who will be doing those jobs, in cafes, bars, restaurants, fields, streets etc?

    If we do leave nothing much will change. No civil war no army on the streets. Maybe the politicians parties will change. People will just get on with it. They will still go to work and the pub moan bout the weather.
