"...... has only reinforced my view of how cacky and bent an institution the EU is "

How "cacky and bent" would you class Westminster in comparison ?

Ask yourself why this tory government has figures hellbent on crashing us out the EU and customs market? What's in it for them and how does that fit in with your left wing views ?

That's much too close to call, jim. As you well know, I voted Leave, but going by all the indications, I'm not going to get what I want. We do not seem to be leaving the EU in any meaningful fashion, we're negotiating a farcical transitional arrangement that is totally unnecessary, we look like we're backing down on all fronts and the shairny (translation available on request) version that we will end up with will not be worth the paper it's written on.

In my opinion, we either leave 100% or we stay 100%, and that's what I voted on.

It's odd that you think you aren't going to get what you want mate, looks to me like we will likely be crashing out with no deal unless the tories cave in on ireland.

No transitional arrangement would be insanity,why do you think its totally unnecessary ? Its going to take years to create new trade deals.
