Referenda are no longer necessary here, moreover, we watched the drama of your 2016 drama and the four years aftermath. You can keep that sort of nonsense.

We get to vote on important decisions - you don't. You don't get to vote on who your leaders are and you can't get rid of them either.

You get more like North Korea every day .

We abolished referenda by? A referendum.

As you can see in the rioting taking place in your cities, there is more required to stand up for an issue than only screaming and throwing bottles and bricks.
Violence cannot substitute a democratic process.

We vetoed everything because the ideology if the EU was that bad. You don't have many vetoes now ... you just get trampled over by Romania Spain and Poland who want your money and have more power.

Never mind eh ?

I really couldn't give a toss just remember under QMV you lose every time.

You have mutualised debt coming and that green deal is the back door project to deliver it. You'll be modernising poland next ... i hope your paying your taxes, the polish Industries and german power stations need your money.

Dude, you're making such a fuss over things that don't affect the UK or even you personally. The only time I've met such a serious concern for others is in (catholic) priests. I don't doubt your best intentions, but you work yourself up in such a way, it is unhealthy. Just relax a little. Come to amsterdam, buy some wiet in one of the 150 coffeeshops, and let your hair hang down.

Why not start your very own thread on the subject ?
