In or Out KAW political discussions are most often regarding the USA, however there is another political discussion at the moment, that may have far reaching effects. The U.K- in or out of the EU? British politics usually entails the political / social elite telling us that the world will end etc if we do anything different from what they think. This morning, David Cameron (the Uk prime minister) told us that we would be risking the security of Europe if we voted to leave. To me this statement is ridiculous, we would not be leaving Europe, just the EU (which is supposed be for economic benefit) it in no way has any bearing on any security systems etc and to insinuate it does in my mind is pure Fearmongering. I'd like to borrow a phrase from our anerican friends- "those who give up Liberty for the sake for security deserve neither". So, the U.K.- in or out? Discuss.
This is interesting and ive wanted to know more about it for a while. Could someone list the pros and cons of either choice. Give me a better understanding of it
Well, it's never happened before, this is in fact the first ever national referendum on membership of the EU (though Britain had one on membership of the EU's predecessor (the EEC) and Greenland / algeria(?) both left when they gained independance). There's lots of speculation regarding pretty much all aspects of it, lots of it is opinionated and practically nothing is known for sure.
Doesn't the Queen support the UK in leaving the EU? What's her take on it? It would be interesting to hear. Either I don't like what most of Europe has become today but that's for another day.
If anything, you got to love Nigel Farage for things he says and the sheer number of memes thanks to him. Always a good laugh listening to him.
I think voting in a Muslim mayor for London wasn't a great idea. :/ But I'm an American so be gone you red coat.
I think voting a black guy as president wasn't a good idea but I'm British so be gone you obese yank.
Rio pretty sure David Cameron was just agreeing with what the ex heads of MI5 and MI6 had clearly stated over the weekend. Pulling out of the eu framework would reduce the ability of the intelligence agencies to share and use data from several nations impacting on the security of the U.K. and the Remaining EU states. Added to the fact that a British exit from the Eu would damage the credibility of the remaining countries causing economic difficulties in a region that's still recovering from the 2008-09 fiasco while leaving them still dealing with massive migration and refugee problems.
UK should leave the EU. Think the open border policy in the EU lands actually increase the changes of terror attacks. Secondly should the Euro drop in value it will have a direct impact on the allready unstable economy of the UK. I personally feel its a bit unfair that Europe must accommodate the refugees from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan. The people that started these war in the first place must take the refugees. Dont see the USA put up his hand to say we started it lets share or help with the refugees
