I'm comparing part of why people want out, too many rules and regulations with the organisations that will replace them which have almost identical rules.
Lets see.
Just 1 item - the oft quoted Pillows...
EU 109 (or 113 cushions) rules to comply with including expensive testing and many legal representitives and insurers to write it all up and protect the manufacturer from EU retribution in the event that any of it is wrong. And another 9 for the pillow case!
WTO. Non specifically for pillows or cushions. And very few for "soft furnishings" other than fire safety ones (2) and chemical toxicity (3).
So as a small business making pillows I can manufacture and sell them worldwide easily without a budget of 5 digits to test and certify everything and insure against liability to comply with the EU regulations. Thats great for business and for small businesses specifically. Global and huge businesses have armies of people on the payroll to deal with all this. EU great for them.
Could have thrown in the UN who define our international aid budget %, NATO who define our defence spending % etc etc. We are always going to have to comply with rules over which we have little control unless you want isolation.
WE choose to be members. WE choose the rules too. We dont have big non elected brother telling us what we have to do or taking control of our courts and laws, immigration, and all of our trade rules, and are not forced into a socialist political union. WE CHOOSE!!!
You are deluded if you think that you can in any way change that, getting out of the EU definitely isn't going to do it.
Nobody said it would? Dont understand that reference. But those are things WE decide on.
Our clowns will have less control, for example we get to make a reasonable amount of control on EU standards, a significant one of 28 ,go to WTO/ISO and our voice is hardly heard so we have less control.
I disagree. Its already better in one MASSIVE way. It doesent try to control US. It is a trade agreement, and thats all we want. It is NOT a political union and a socialist one at that, with USSR style centralised control and planning. I have nothing against a TRADE deal with the EU, and that can only come AFTER we leave.
As Brexit clearly demonstrates we have no control over MP's, we might be able to get rid of a few when the next election comes around or try and get a few out using the recall petition if they get convicted of an offence. Unfortunately by the time of the next election we'll be out and people will have forgotten about what their MP did and will be back to voting on non binding manifesto's, normal service will resume.
I disagree. The main 2 parties are up shit creek for generations. There will be new parties to fill in the gap that these 2 have failed to do. Much like the brexit party has appeared to do what the people asked for. And if the current lot dont do it, they will be out. And Brexit party in.
Even worse we'll have a Corbyn led government and you can forget having any way to influence that but he'll have more power to f'ck things up. Power needs to be in the hands of the people that is the biggest change we can make.
Thats a mass contradiction. The PEOPLE are the idiots that will vote corbyn in. Why? Because at least half the voters do not have a clue about socialism and the damage it does. And another third vote the way they parents and grand parents did and have no idea why.
There should be a few simple qualifying questions on the ballot paper. Get a few simple basic questions wrong and your vote should go in the bin.
