E.U.

[John Cassels]

The EU is not Democratic, in the UK whether we like it or not we two main Political Parties.
The EU has a semblance of Democracy with Elections every so many years, but there is only one party no opposition.
The main power is the 25 man Commission, the make the decisions and the so called Assembly rubber stamps theorder or else.

You are more or less on the right road .

Polls in themselves are misleading, the questions are framed by the pollsters to garnish the results they want.

If it was one or two polls perhaps.
However the record shows that the last fifty-eight opinion polls in a row with the straight question "Should the UK rejoin the EU or stay out" have shown a lead in favour of rejoin of more than 10%.
This is by no less than eight different opinion poll companies.
In early 2020 quite a few of those same companies showed a slight lead for "stay out" over successive polls, the last of which (in isolation) was in April 2022. Since then it's been totally one sided.

The post referendum research on the voting demographic clearly showed that Brexit was only a majority opinion amongst those aged 50 plus, in every age group below they were pro remain.
It seems nature is simply taking it's course.

N.B. The Bookies are currently offering odds of the UK rejoining the EU within the next three years at 7/1, however the odds of the UK rejoining the EU within the next decade are 2/1 on.

Shame ex Prime Ministers are not dealt with as those are in Islamabad. Did Boris ever play cricket?

Brexit regret among Leave voters hits record high, poll finds

GB News Link

Seven years on from the UK’s decision to leave the European Union, more voters than ever believe Brexit has been a “failure”. The YouGov poll found more than a third of those who backed Leave in the referendum say Brexit has been more of a failure than a success.

Time this German holding passport holder was jailed.Lying asshole.jpg


Nigel Farage has renewed public profile at head of new Brexit party – but in 2016 German documents and witness confirmed passport application just one day after UK’s EU referendum result – and he has not denied that he holds a German passport when asked.

Aside from the odd lottery ticket I don't gamble.
However history has shown that the Bookies are rarely wrong.

Looking at the EU from afar It appears to me to be a collection of leaders, not the populous, who want control.
They preach one thing but do others, a case of do what i say, not what I do.

Current global situation is such that any gov or body of control will be subject to challenge by the people.
Democracy allows that, but for many leaders it has little or no meaning, they will do all they can to te what they want and that may well be different from the wants of the people.

hi john #46
good evening, because of the imformation that has been leaked or found out by various means about the chinese covid which in all cases is polar opposite to those ruling parties daily broadsheet of misimformation, and thus leading most intelligent human beings to doubt or disbelieve the imformation and actions of the individual goverments ie masks and lock downs leaving us to be imprisoned in our homes for reasons that are seen as doubtful in some cases or just downright wrong, the goverments involved in these nefarious actions have now decided that in future the World Health Organisation will be able to call for and force these same actions in any future epidemic, as the individual goverments have all signed treaties enabling and giving the necessary power to enforce any future lockdowns or for that matter to call for any action they see fit under the guise of any epidemic or health reason, this is also backed by nato, What does puzzle me is that the head of the world health organisation was hand picked by china,
read into that and see what you can make of it.

Interesting little snippet of info. 94% of Daily Express readers (won't find any socialists among that lot) believe the Tory governments handling of Brexit has been a failure.

That I can believe . A rubber duck would have shown more backbone and resolve then the UK brexit negotiators. If more European lands
were represented by - for example Orban of Hungary - leaders who put the interests of their people first then things might be different.
If he feels that Brussels is demanding something to the detrement of Hungary , he tells them to go away in jerky movements.

There is another aspect to all of this.
Currently the Indian PM is here in Oz to speak with our PM, and no doubt visit the thousands of family members here, about trade. A free trade agreement has been done and a Hydrogen agreement reached.

USA, China and India are now the 3 largest economies.
Within a decade that list could read, India, China, USA, such is the power of growth within India and China.

That could pose a problem for both EU and UK along with many other nations.
How that is managed will depend on how other nations agree to approach it.
