I can only assume that by making that remark, what you believe is that it would have been better if we could have stayed and fought the battle over Immigration within the EU as a member, but as Cameron's pathetic pleadings fell on deaf ears by the two countries that really believe they are the true rulers of the EU - France and Germany - with the rest of the Commission, that is the reason you voted to leave??
Correct me of course if I am wrong, otherwise I would never expect such a comment from someone who purports to have voted leave.
Hi
I voted to leave because of the ineptitude of our Politicians, nothing more, nothing less.
I could see them going more and more down the line of a Federal EU, not something for me.
The EU could have been good for us, we were a major contributor and should have been using that in the same way France and Germany do.
Blair and Brown were bad enough at selling us down the line, but Cameron was a complete wimp.
He went and asked for permission to do things other EU Countries just did without asking.
Child Benefits, other Benefits, controlling EU Immigration etc.
The Visigrad Group have refused point blank to following the diktats of Juncker and Co, closed their Borders and refused to accept a single Economic Migrant.
Denmark and Austria have recently taken drastic action completely contrary to EU Rules.
None of them have left or even threatened to, they have simply stood up and told Brussels to sod off.
They know full well the EU will not throw them out.
Other EU Countries put their national laws first, we do not.
The EU Medicines agency is moving to the Netherlands, over 150 staff will not be going because their contracts do not meet Dutch Employment Law.
So much for Freedom of Movement.
Try getting Benefits or a job in France, all the interviews and forms are in French, they control things that way.
So, yes, I do think that our Politicians have chickened out, big time.
I could not see them changing and standing up to Brussels, so leave was the only option for me.
