Yay, I'm the only one.
Don't think that's true, but lets go with it.
Why did I vote for Brexit?
I didn't like the way things were going with ever closer Union. The EU was slowly sucking everyone in, but tripped up with timing.
The commission was becoming the ruling force in Europe. Never mind us, there are plenty of countries in the EU kicking back about the demands placed on them.
EU law/ Regulations/ Borders etc. The only things left to go for us(and would have happened) was currency and Schengen.
The "lies" as you guys say, swing both ways. I aint going over old ground, its pointless.
Did I expect it to get worse?
Of course I did, You do not undo nearly 50 years of EU regs/laws/ systems over night.
Did I think it would be this hard?
No I didn't. But I didn't factor in a Tory government, having no spine and dargging its heels over every aspect.
I didn't expect opposition parties to do their best to undermine everything, despite promising to uphold the result of the vote.
Do I regret it?
Nope, I still feel its the right thing to do, as the loudest I hear maoning about Brexit are those living comfortable lives and not one thought of the poor low end worker/social status person. They are the ones under the boot of EU membership.
They are the ones shafted with wages/ housing/ services etc.
What next?
Firstly, it gave the EU a reality check. They suddenly realised, if you push too hard, something snaps.
Lets be honest here, had they actually listened to Cameron and given him some carrots. It probably would have worked. Instead they smacked his arse, sent him back and got him to sell it to the rest of us, as a wonderful offer.
Like a prat, he did. Like them, he didn't think he'd lose.
So if anything, the EU may actually have to stop being so arrogant and listen. (SOMETHING THAT NEVER HAPPENED WHEN WE WAS A MEMBER)
Will we succeed?
I don't know. I actually don't believe the political will is there, as its a conflict of interests with many of them
Much as I hated the woman, Thatcher was the last one to stand up to them.
Major/.Blair/.Brown/Cameron were all on the gravy train and have made a **** load of money out of it.
So, it all depends now on who people vote for.
Torys are done, Labour has yet to convince anyone, Libs? Don't make me laugh.
That's why I still support proportional representation. Every walk of life needs its voice heard and not one parties/Individuals desires in parliament.
The opportunity is there, but will someone grab it?
I'll tell you this much. If anyone thinks rejoining by stealth will make everything all right, had better think again.
17.5 M voters is a lot of clout on ballot day.
