Who cares? A poll is not a referendum, we already had one of those and got a democratic result. | |

The replies in that tweet are wonderful. People "frightened" of being a British citizen, while shouting about Scottish independence. Why is it ok for Scotland to say "bollocks to the UK" but it's not ok for the UK to say "bollocks to the EU"? | |

It is ok for Scotland to say that, just like it's ok for the UK to say it to the EU. | |

I'm still not going to change my vote if given the chance. This was never about economics first. Democracy is too important. And I'm not talking about the will of the people being respected. That of course is important, but democratic control is critical for a modern society. We do not have that with the EU. How do we democratically hold them to account? Wait for another referendum? It seems like democracy is a sacrifice people are willing to make in order to have cheap imports and the ability to work in France, even though most of us don't want to. | |

And by the way, if this does turn out bad, then I blame the Tories, not Brexit voters. I think we agree this has been managed horribly. That doesn't mean we'd be better off remaining. That means we need a better government. If the masses agree, then the Tories will be held to democratic account in due course. That's the democracy we don't have with the EU. | |

I'm contesting your idea that there's "one party" that votes as a monolith in the EU parliament. There's not. It's indistinguishable from any other parliamentary democracy in that it has representatives from each part of the EU, based on population. You had a MEP who represents you in the EU just like you have an MP who represents you in the UK. | |

You've completely missed the point. In the UK, you can vote for the Tories, Labour, Lib Dems, Greens, UKIP, Monster Raving Looney Party, a man and his dog. Whoever wins the election forms a government. | |

Perhaps calling the EU a one-party system isn't accurate. Perhaps it's better to call them a coalition of 100 different parties (or whatever) that can never pass laws without lobbying and backhanders. | |

Me? No, I'm merely demonstrating there's no "EU party" in any sense of the word, the MEPs who comprise the EU Parliament are not "united in the same political objective", and the EU "government" acts in a very similar fashion as the federal government in the US. There are federal laws which in theory override local policies, but those are often contended. The majority of the power remains with the states, who have their own legislation. | |

I'm not talking shit. I do not like the EU's method of democracy. It's not an acceptable system to me. It's in effect a single party system because there is nobody we can vote for to replace the EU, unlike at home where we can vote the Tories out. That isn't shit, is it? | |

I don't think there's a single politician I can say I'm a fan of. I kinda like Farage, but only because I found his comments at the EU highly amusing. But he's still just another liar. I definitely do not trust him. Politicians are cunts, the lot of them. | |

I acknowledge my responsibility for a no-deal Brexit. I knew full well that this was a possibility when I voted, and was still happy to vote for it. I'd have preferred a mutually beneficial trade deal, but a no-deal Brexit was the default, and is preferable to remaining. In my opinion, of course. I respect other peoples' opinion, unless they want to overthrow a democratic result, naturally. | |

Did you really? Did you understand what a no-deal would entail (be honest)? And, when you put the loss of jobs, food and medicine shortages, restrictions on travel, inflation, estrangement from our allies, and possibility of secession of Scotland and NI from the UK all together on one side of the scale, what is it on the benefits side of the scale that makes you feel that this all going to be worth it? | |

I explained to you before that our current trade deal with Brazil is through the EU trade deal with Mercosur. After Jan. 1 it ceases to exist - poof. So unless Japan has some bananas to sell us, we're going to have shortages, and with them inflation. And not just bananas, but everything that grows outside the UK in winter that we currently import from the EU. | |
