No Lizzie, I wasn't asking anyone who voted a particular way to explain their voting. Just making an observation that the reasons why people voted remain were never analysed to death like the reasons leave was.
I think you are right Varche and neither have the consequences of voting remain (or if indeed we end up staying in after all this) been examined either.
I follow a facebook group,
Devon For Europe and there are many on there for whom the EU is like a religion and get quite shirty if you dare critisise the EU.
I started a poll and the question was:
Looking to the future if we end up remaining in the EU, which I think we will. Should the UK show solidarity with our European friends by giving up the rebate, joining the Euro and the Schengen zone? There were 142 responses of which 73% said No.
Personally I think that's pretty naive and think had we voted to remain, we'd have come under pressure to give up the rebate and join the Euro etc, but I think that if we end up staying in losing the rebate and taking the Euro in the not too distant future is inevitable. Not only that, but I think that the only way that the Euro can survive long term, is if
all members of the EU join up, there is a common fiscal policy and mutualisation of national debts. The Germans won't like the last bit, but will go for it if everyone does as, the Euro has been good for Germany.
Good point about the losses in the Civil War. maybe that is the solution..... have a war. There hasn't been one for about a year. Minister for War Dept Michael Gove anyone.
The EU have already caused a war in Ukraine and probably came close to causing a civil war in Greece!
Not to mention here!
