Re: This could be for both sides to consider?
Perhaps the person who wrote this should not assume why people voted to leave!
I was happy to join the Common Market, in the beginning, because the trade agreements were a good idea. Sadly I was young then and had no idea what it would lead to, but the changes have already led to us losing control of our own country, so we can't do many things without EU agreement.
It seems that the EU were always intending to make the EU one big country, but were doing it slowly so we didn't really notice.
If they had suggested that the Common Market, was going to become like the USA ( controlled by one government but with different laws & rules for each state) I would have never wanted to join in the first place.
I would hate to live in a huge country where one government make the majority of decisions for all, because if you look at the states you will find that there are ones where they feel the Gov do not provide fairly for each state....because the country is too big!
Hell isn't that why the EU are being so difficult about us leaving.......... because they don't want other members to consider doing the same!
