Brexit

[hedgehog]

WHAT is the opinion in canada of britain leaving the EU?

[grassfarmer]

Don't think there will be one generally, not even on the radar. Being a bit more involved my opinion would favour leaving but a pretty close call, not an easy decision.

The EU is screwed either way. Too many years of socialism, terrible demographics, work seems to be an afterthought of the kids that they do have and terrible immigration policy that puts even further social and economic strain on the whole thing. In not sure Brittany is better on their own though as I see the rest of the EU saying "**** you" when it comes to future trade.

Don't see much about it in local news, more about it in national and financial news.
Similar to Scotland independence, likely most of us prefer united countries and areas in rest of world.

Eu will disolve they want control of there own money printing press. Also why should the stronger nations have to continually bail out the Pigs(Portugal,Ireland, Greece, Spain)?

The Euro-zone could always realign in the event of war!

Wouldn't it be like a 12 hitch of horses.... all is good if everyone leans into the job(aka pulls their weight) to accomplish the task... but some lazy nags not pulling their weight make it bad for the rest.

I'm surprised Britain hadn't left that socialist cesspool earlier

Is britain fully in the EU, and if they are how come they still use the pound as currency when all other eu countries use the euro?

[fjlip]

I was hopeful EU would work, Europe had thousands of years of WAR prior to this lull. Millions of young men died for SFA. Who wants that crazy shit again.

I don't think Brittany is planning on leaving any time soon lol.

Because they didn't sign up for the "common currency" nonsense, nor should they have.

That's my question too.

If I was in Britain I would want out of that socialist money pit tied down by the PIGS along with alarming numbers of Islamic immigrants coming in.
(It would be like us having 4 provinces of Quebec!!)

For military action Britain is already in NATO.

Britain doesn't need the pigs. The Brits have strong, loyal allies. Spelling looks odd but what is the plural of a-ly?

[malleefarmer]

Have many friends in uk very intelligent, there going to vote to stay but are grappling with it. Common thought is why should uk pay for eu mistakes in so many ways and are we that much better off because of it. And are uk laws and standards being eroded because of EU. Really I think it could be almost aged based and numbers who vote anyone under say 30 may vote to stay over 30 vote to exit

[hedgehog]

leave is now in front, with lots of young people voting out as they are the ones who are losing jobs to immigrants.

If I was in the UK I would vote to leave as how often do you get a chance to unload a layer of feeding politicians and bureaucracy? Also when Obama and the Clintons come to tell you to stay in, them you do the opposite.
