Well the right wing thing is only exasperated by UK, the EU was supposed to foster cooperation in Europe and avoid future wars and nip that tension in the bud. The UK as a large multicultural society and strong nation have now destabilized that blockade against rising right wing, its not the UKs fault if it gets worse of course.
It must be said that the UK does have issues on that front too as much or worse than any other nation. A loud minority was able to talk millions of presumably good people into a decision based on lies with some untones of discrimination.
I suppose the final thing is France and Germany owe the UK nothing. There was an inherent disregard for the consequences of Brexit by the people who pushed it. The border with Ireland being an Irish issue blatantly disregards International Law and the well-being of not just Irish citizens but UK citizens. Its a bilateral international agreement that can't just be disregarded on a whim.
Its still amazing to me that it can still be seen as a good decision when the whole campaign was built on lies, deceit and that it is very apparent no real plan was ever considered.
Like I said at the time CDX there was an awful lot that went into my decision to vote leave and have already explained as the son of immigrants none of it was racist. I dont wish to bore folk with my diatribe as have had this discussion within my own family.And many a good discussion on here with Heath,Mike and others. To try to deal with your points.
No1. there was no plan in place if we left the Leave campaign was a cross party grouping not a political party,that was down to Cameron ,Osborne etc they did not bother.
2. I would respectfully suggest that the far right in the U.K. is not a force in Parliament. Compare this to France,Germany & Italy never mind some of the other nations where it is far worse (they were already on the rise before Brexit vote).
3. Cannot speak for everyone who voted leave.I am sure there were many different reasons put forward.Did anyone vote leave based on what they saw on the side of a bus If so then they have my sympathy.
My biggest beef with remain campaign Where were the positives for staying in ? I am talking at the run up and time of the vote, only ever saw the threats from Osborne etc never oh look what your giving up by leaving.
4. France & Germany owe the U.K. nothing . And for me there you have it some Union. No they do not owe us anything but a little show of friendship would have made it more difficult for people to vote leave. Instead you had the vision of a British P.M. going round with the begging bowl being turned away at every door.
5. Lies and deceit. Yep agree with you but lets not forget to mention
BOTH campaigns were full of bull. Cameron,Farage,Osborne,Johnson.
I cant speak for others but made my decision based on where I saw Europe heading not on the crap put forward by both campaigns.
6. The Irish border. Here again agree with you very important and probably the only reason I would reverse my vote, if a way could not be found to leave it open. Puzzles me because a border already exists
for Currency & VAT which leads me to think there is a solution there
however I am not a politician.
Had many good discussions on here CDX
so please take my reply in the way it is intended without rancour or acid just another point of view. and please remember I am one of very few on here willing to own up to voting leave and put my point of view
knowing how strongly many on here are in favour of remain.
