For those who cannot be bothered to look back at Stanron's quoted post, here it is.

1. The EU is corrupt, It has failed to produce audited accounts for approximately ever. Good News! we will no longer have to pay for their gravy train.
2. The EU is incompetent. Had the EU offered any kind of effective reform before the referendum we may not have voted to leave. Good News! We will no longer have our common sense subordinated to their doctrinaire incompetencies.
3. The EU is dishonest. It disguised the plan to transform into a United States of Europe because it knew no one would vote for that. Good News! We will no longer be deceived in this particular fashion.
4. The EU is undemocratic. We were never allowed to vote on stuff they reckoned we would reject. We cannot elect any of the people who originate policy. Good News! We will become a Democracy again.
%. The EU is a train wreck in the process of happening. Good News! The light at the end of the tunnel is our escape, not a train coming the other way.

Let's see if this gets deleted.


Well, thing is, Stanron, that does not give anyone any reason to believe that being out of the EU will be any better. In fact, as we still will have to trade with them but have no control over what goes on, it will be decidedly worse. If that was your reason for voting leave, fine. I think you got it wrong, as Steve's post following yours showed, and how do you still justify your vote in the light of what has subsequently transpoired about the dishonesty of the referendum campaign and the obvious damage it is going to do to both the economy and social structure of the UK?
