I don't know if you are joking, but that's how communists came in some countries. They claimed everyone was corrupt, then they founded "people's party", etc. The rest is known to everyone. | ||

Let me correct you a bit. 1. Bullshit, his prime minister was OK with it. 2. Bullshit, why should it be bad for UK's economy? 3. So what? 4. So what? Who knows who actually made the decision ... | ||

There is nothing wrong in having different views. What's wrong is when you do it for political gains, don't really believe in what you preach (Brexit in Johnson's case), while making your country less than stable. Are you forgetting there was a democratic vote attached to this? The leave campaign is not come military coup, it is a simple democratic decision. Lying while campaigning is not a criminal offense (sadly). All the lies were debunked long before the referendum. 'Voters are dumb' is not treason. | ||

He's a funny man, because he claims to be unbiased but then spends his entire time picking apart straw men. We know, for example, that the UK can veto Turkey's membership of the EU - but it categorically would not do so given that it was the UK govt that most eagerly pushed for Turkey's membership in the first place, because they were so keen to expand the market. He says that it is a common lie that the EU commission adopts legislation. I would challenge him to give me one single example where this has been claimed to be the case. The EU commission proposes legislation and dictates policy making direction. These are powers the parliament does not have. We know, as well, that the UK could have, in theory, vetoed treaties leading to further integration. I say in theory, because in practice they have failed to do so. The British public would never have voted in favour of the Lisbon treaty. The Irish rejected it... until they were made to take another vote. The French and Dutch also rejected it, in its earlier form as the EU constitution, through referenda, so they renamed it and didn't give the French/Dutch public another say. The national govts of Europe are absolutely complicit in what has been happening with the EU, so this result is a message to them just as much as it is a message to the EU itself. It is time to start standing up for your people. | ||
