EU- was formed to compete against global powers-
the U.S.,China,Japan-etc- I believe everyone thought it
would be economic in nature- and originally it was larger
states and more centered on economic benefits-
Not Now- 1. Must take in ANY refugees-2. must accept
the homosexual agenda- must acquiesce to other countries-politics- 28 nations now - looking at more to
come on board- Turkey being the prime country-that may
be accepted- (there are others that want in) I think
Britain is falling now ... they accepted this One world Govt. and it will destroy them politically- I think this is why the polls are showing a strong desire to go back.
2. The homosexual agenda -- the UK is even further down that part than much of Europe. LEaving or staying won't change this.
3. Must acquiesce to other countries politics -- how? And those other countries need to acquiesce to British politics right?
4. Turkey won't be accepted -- Greece and Cyprus will veto
5. Britain has been falling for a long time. Leaving the EU is only going to hasten that slide.
Not so. Cameron refused to have anything to do with Merkel's quota plan for Syrian refugees: and because the UK isn't in the Schengen open-borders area, there was absolutely nothing Merkel could do to enforce it. Hence the much-reported 'jungle' camp in Calais - that's would-be immigrants whom Britian refuses to accept. If the UK were in Schengen there'd be no 'jungle'.
Cameron gets a lot of stick over immigration on this forum, but few seem to have noticed his stand over the Merkel plan.
Cronos - thanks for your well-informed common sense about the realities of the UK/EU relationship.
