Brexit Again

Though I disagree with the UK leaving the EU a small majority of the country voted to leave.  Though I think many of that small majority were badly misled into casting a vote to leave the vote still stands and , to my mind, the mistake has been made.  The people have spoken and that, not matter what I think, is democracy at work and we must leave.  I believe in democracy more than I believe in the EU and in my view all the challenges to us leaving amount to something akin to treason against the people of the UK.  Even with my  pro European views I believe we must now negotiate our exit with as much speed and as little cost as we can.  But I'm fairly certain that the leave contingent will find that they have to accept something akin to the free movement of labour to get the sort of agreement that the UK needs.  We also need the European workers to fill the jobs that UK residents aren't willing to undertake and yes there are many jobs that fall into that category.  So my suggestion to those behind the legal challenges is STOP you are working against the will of the voting public in the UK.  Your actions are not democratic and go against everything we in the UK aspire to.

Brexit or UK's Possible Exit From Europe

My vote will be firmly for us to stay in.  My strongest reason may sound stupid but I can't help my belief.  The UK has spent hundreds, if not thousands, of years engaged in anything from small skirmishes to full blown war with many of the other countries of Europe.  Now we sit across a table, albeit a metaphorical table, and argue.  THAT IS PROGRESS, no one gets injured or killed in the procedure.  Sure we may feel that we get a few silly rules and regulations imposed on us but surely that's a small price to pay for peace.  And if we do get the occasional silly rule we should remember that it's often because our weak willed self serving politicians aren't up to the job and shouldn't be there. It's my understanding that Euro MP's are usually failed UK MP's who are given a place in the Euro trough because they couldn't cut it in the UK or possibly they caused embarrassment and their party wanted them out of the way.

We need to stay in, vote in good Euro MP's and get things done our way.  We can't fix the thing if we aren't involved and we must fix it for everyone's good.

Vote to stay in.  We can make it work.
