The idea at the heart of our democracy is not complicated. At a general election, the voters choose who makes the laws that govern our lives. If governments fail to live up to their promises, the electorate throw them out. This precious right may sound simple, but it took hundreds of years of struggle and sacrifice to secure. It is up to us to keep it intact for future generations – and we must never let our vigilance slip. The ECJ now routinely interferes in the most fundamental duties of an elected government It has become increasingly clear that we can guarantee that future far better if we leave the European Union. If a government cannot keep its promises because of its membership of an unelected, unaccountable outside organisation, the connection between the people and their laws is broken. The whole basis of our democracy is undermined. In the EU, the unelected European Commission creates laws for us and our parliament can only rubber-stamp them. The whole system is overseen by the Court of Justice of the European Union (ECJ) in Luxembourg, which has ultimate jurisdiction over our parliament and law courts. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/06/22/the-eus-court-is-picking-apart-our-laws/ 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not my claims - they are Juncker's and Monnet's claims. I'm just the messenger. Those are interesting quotes, but you haven’t provided any evidence to prove your accusation that the EU has been continuously lying to Europeans. What are those lies? What‘s the evidence proving they are in fact false statements (or at least highly inaccurate) intending to deceive the electorate? Macron labelled the leave campaign as liars. That’s factually true; there are lists with what the false statements are. Red bus, anyone? You countered that the EU has been doing the same, but you fail to provide evidence for your claim. What’s the EU‘s red bus? I am pretty sure Macron could find some nice quotes from dead British leaders if he would dig deep enough. But he’s not argueing the leave campaign are liars because a dead guy said A, B and C some 60 years ago. Quote But "pull A50 and you are out" is clearly naive. No. It’s not. Quote The EU is trying to push us back in No. It’s not. Where in the EU regulations does it provide any way to push back a member state’s exit after it has pulled article 50? There isn’t any. Quote , that's a fact unless you haven't read any news in the last 2 years. “the last 2 years” have been about the U.K. wanting to negotiate future (post-leave) relationships with the EU. Not about the leave. The leave cannot be undone or pushed back by the EU. The regulations do not provide any way to do so. Quote If that's what you believe then you clearly haven't digested the quotes from Monnet and Juncker that I have made. It’s not what I believe. It’s the reality. I prefer to stick to facts rather than what a dead guy mumbled 60 years ago. Quote If I were to give you a list of books to read, would you open your mind and buy them and read them? The academically correct way would be: You make your statement. Then you provide a reference to the author, title and page in a publication where the evidence proving your statement can be found. That’s what i suggested earlier. So please tell us what statements made by the EU are lies, and where we can find the evidence proving that it is in fact a lie.
