I'm Eurosceptic but I voted remain solely on economic reasons and what I've read in the past few days sounds scary. Now if there was another EU referendum I would vote leave based on what I've read and I think a few other people would.
I'm left wing I support the Labour Party and have been a member for 6 years even though I'm starting to feel a little disillusioned by them at the minute but I believe in democracy and the people have spoken and we now have to respect the wishes of the people even though Parliament can vote this down if they agree that it could put the country into economic turmoil. Now I'm in the 18-25 bracket and a lot of people I know didn't vote because A) They didn't care B) They didn't think it would affect them C) Couldn't be arsed to vote D) Didn't vote because they were so sure remain would win.
Now no one across the country actually thought the Leave camp would actually win the bookies were against them the experts everybody but they pulled it off. Now the one's who didn't vote are now complaining they didn't get a chance well I'm sorry but if you were registered to vote you should have bloody used it instead of now complaining about the result on social media, signing petitions and going on demo's because what they actually are doing they are protesting against democracyA lot of other people think we are being pulled away from Europe by tug boats and being put out to sea in the middle of nowhere. We left a political union we have not left Europe. It's likely we will still be in the common market with free movement.
Do people really think we will stop trading with Europe. Europe export more goods to our country than we do to them, take a look around you will see Audi's, Mercs, Aldi's, Lidl, European wines, European food do you honestly think they will stop selling it to us? They need us and we can start creating industry again. But leaving the EU we can still trade with them in the common market but we can also create trade agreements with Canada, America, New Zealand, Australia, China, Japan. We can't create trade agreements with those countries when we are in the EU. The EU have spent 7 years trying to get a trade agreement with Canada. So all this talk about the economy in the shit its been 7 days since we voted it will take 2 years to workout negotiations.
Thats brilliant .Couldnt have put it better myself
WE ARE STILL PART OF EUROPE.!
