Indeed, being outside of the EU will still permit Britain to remain in the customs union. All this means is that Britain will be required to impose the same tariffs on good entering Britain from outside the customs union as the other members. These goods can then enter the EU without further tariffs.Well, ok. No one knows what will come, granted. But it isn´t the doomsday. Britain could remain in the European customs union - it isn´t EU exclusive - or otherwise negotiate similar conditions. The EU stressed several times they don´t want to punish Britain.I would not praise such a referendum even if my side had won.
It was a crude piece of politicking in order to pacify the anti-European Union element among the Tories.
As I indicated there were different motivations behind those who supported it without being clear on any one idea.
Contrary to what Prime Minister Theresa May says, no-one knows what Brexit means.
What's done is done.A referendum outcome cannot be promised, that you should know. Maybe it was the only way but I cannot imagine they guaranteed success.I agree the majority of the Scottish are being treated as if they had voted to leave the EU. Considering that they had been told that the only way to preserve their place within the EU was to vote to stay in the United Kingdom, this is a treachery by the ruling English.
Because the European Union has been formed through a series international treaties, all signed by Britain with some opt-out clauses included, having a single Yes/No response was ludicrous. Some treaties might have been supported even by those who voted out and it is impossible to untangle this given an overall Yes/No response.Can you explain this more precisely?You cannot say that based on the text of the referendum. It was a crude question with serious repercussions and not appropriate for a referendum in the first place.
Don´t worry, most countries couldn´t join without serious efforts but I explain it in short:I have no idea what you are on about. I do not know what your union is or what you think my domestic problems are or what you imagine my country to be. This part of your post is incoherent.
- Being a satellite state of a foreign power and thus a trojan horse
Worse than any other, the UK is submissive to the US.
- Allowing foreign and domestic criminals to terrorize and abuse the population
Example: Organized forced prostitution with gruesome methods of minors with government knowledge.
- Allowing the breakdown of the education system
Half of the school leavers are dyslectic. They barely master SMS/Whatsapp language.
- Supporting terrorism
Support for al-Qaeda and ISIS in Syria and Libya.
- Destroying the own economy
Destruction of the industries beginning under Thatcher.
- Red Bobbies are not allowed
Self-explanatory.
- Running out of ammo after a month of bombing a 75.000 men army
The UK had to beg the US for ammo during the Libya war 2011.
- Allowing malicious immigration
Criminal intruders are not proper immigrants and should be treated accordingly.
- Banning the celebrations and traditions of native religions while supporting foreign
Example: Renaming Christmas, banning of piggy banks at counters and Christmas decoration in multiple cases - even in advance.
- Establishing a "political correctness" in the name of freedom
Telling the Brits what they can say and what not, which opinions are evil and which not, ect. All not based on law.
- Red buses are not allowed
Self-explanatory.
- Maintaining expensive but useless government institutions
Monarchy-remains and Upper House at least can go away.
- Privatizing public property
Example: Privatization of water. A hot good as it belongs to the people. Led to increase of prices and decrease of quality, for example pressure decreases due to absence of maintenance.
- Issuing referendums whose outcomes are not binding
Example: The Brexit referendum.
- Raiding countries in malicious intentions
Multiple examples.
- Snickers dip recipes are not allowed
Self-explanatory.[/QUOTE]
