Do you have any evidence to back that up ?

If you are talking about climate change (they used to call it global warming until the warming stopped), the answer is not much that's credible.

EU Chief Jean-Claude Juncker Defies Protests to Deliver Heartfelt Defence of Karl Marx https://t.co/LXTrmbYpGX

This idea that the people don’t know what’s good for them, that every last detail of their private lives, their business practices, their expenditure, their leisure time, even what they say and think must be micromanaged by “expert” bureaucrats and technocrats: it has been tested to destruction. The EU — like the Soviet Union, like Venezuela, like Cuba, like so many idealistic political experiments gone wrong — is on the losing side of history.

The ideology of the EU, from Kalergi to Soros is in progress,

anyone can see it, voting to remain is: 'turkeys voting for Xmas'.

The rain in Spain still falls mainly on the plain but the greenhouses of Almeira are irrigated. Now the EU already has allowed tariff-free oranges from South Africa and the Spaniards hate that. Most Spanish, Irish and French agri-food exports will be hard hit by Brexit without a deal- just one big reason why an orderly exit with sensible arrangements is best for all.

Another majority vote for not leaving without a deal? No deal possibility is still on the table as it should be. You have moved from the past into an unknown future and created a new impasse.

Yes, I thought we are discussing the — very likely — impasse that MPs will reject May’s deal on Tuesday and a no-deal Brexit on Wednesday. If either of it doesn’t happen, there is no impasse, so we wouldn’t have to discuss it.

Regarding your so called soft or so called hard Brexit, or even a no deal Brexit. Perhaps you failed to watch this video, in which a British citizen explains, what was on the ballot paper. And how the overwhelming majority,were fully aware of what they voted for.

It’s called Democracy. Accept the people’s vote, or emigrate to North Korea, instead of trying to make the U.K as Undemocratic as N.K.

I don’t need watch more Brexiteer lies. Everyone know what was written on the ballot paper. It wasn’t “leave the EU and don’t have a transition period”. It was only to leave the EU. 

 

And talking about North Korea, I am not surprised you’re mentioning them.  Both of you are good at manipulating polls and calling that “democracy”.

The UK PM is not elected to office, nominated. The UK EU commissioner is nominated by a nominated prime minister and ratified by the EU parliament which has been elected by the people of the respective states.

The representatives of the people of the EU put commissioners into office, a bit like the UK PM.

The PM became an MP by public vote and if you do not like who gets nominated as commissioner then remember who put them there.

Civil servants are not elected by public vote but are the backbone in any administration, just that most are not so high profile as the EU commission, not surprising considering it is responsible for a population of around three quarters of a billion people.  MPs are not instinctively knowledgeable on their respective responsibilities, that comes from the civil servants, in both UK and EU.

In a GE most people vote for the party most closely aligned to their beliefs, and the party who has the best leader in their opinion. Yes occasionally the leader can change during a parliamentary term, but this is rare and hardly dilutes the power of the vote. 

If the governing party / PM is not doing a good job for this country (and it's 65-70m citizens) we can vote them out in a GE. 

 

What real power does our vote have when it comes to the (unelected) EU President? And he is hardly just a civil servant. 

 

By the way, the EU population is around 500m, not 750m. But that's another point - the larger the population and the more layers of power, the less each vote makes a difference.

Why leave won't win in future years...

 

Leave: "the problem is young people hate us for taking away their rights, freedom and prosperity.

 

 

solution: so let's trot out drunken old soaks to win them over to our ethno-nationalist agenda."

they will still export them as normal but the UK public will pay more for them after tariffs and a almost certain drop in sterling,the govt may decide not impose tariffs we dont know yet but the drop in sterling alone with a no deal will rise the cost,another cost to add to the price of brexit,its never ending

Just a Brexit with a mutually acceptable agreement of a similarly sesnible sensible consistency.

CLEARLY HAVE no idea of the size and value of the cut flower industry in UK and how it relies on fast, immediate deliveries of fresh produce.

Furthermore many of the same problems will apply to other forms of edible fresh produce.

Just an example of how a no deal Brexit will probably badly affect a lot of EU farmers. The continental fishermen will be in trouble, especially the Spanish. There are a lot of downsides for the EU but I'm sure that they are not widely openly discussed on the continent, at least for now.

The members of the EU Commission are proposed by members of the EU Council,...….so no election there and they're accepted as a body by a vote of MEP's, however the people who represent me, the MEP's, don't get to propose members for the Commission they are stuck with the choices made by the Council; the EU boys club. That's not acceptable to me. The European Parliament’s role and responsibilities are very limited. It cannot propose new European legislation - only the European Commission can do that. That's not acceptable to me but obviously something you enjoy.  I accept these arguments were done to death here last year and I am not going to cover old ground however other aspects of EU democracy were not covered.

One aspect of EU democracy and other states whose plan is to create a single party state devoted to goals that can be neither opposed nor amended, which hasn't been covered, is the old political trick( which always fools the Keep the Sheep Asleep Party) of  " if you can't control the electorate in an election, control the candidates". There was only one candidate for Selmayr's post...…….funny that.

Another aspect is democratically elected governments are able to change policy. Westminster with all it's anachronisms passes the test. Over the years the UK has been governed by both left and right wing governments and successive governments have been found to be reforming. The EU with all its Presidents, MEP's and Parliament fails the test as evidenced by the current political  and social unrest ignored by Brussels because reform denies "The Project". Can you ever, in your wildest dreams, imagine the EU Parliament promoting decentralization or forcing meaningful democratic reform or reforming the euro, the most dysfunctional currency in the first world?

I will leave it to Nigel Farage to explain democracy to you. Marine le Pen makes some decent points as well.
