Why is the UK struggling more than other countries?

I think these were false hopes more than lies. But yes lots of porkies from both sides during the campaign.

One sides ‘porkies’ are damaging the economy, and it’s not ‘Remain’s’.

And the Brexiteers wanted OUT - simple isn't it? Oh, wait a minute!

And that's what you got. You are the one complaining about getting the wrong version of Brexit. 

 

Oh, Brexit is complicated. Who'd have thought that?

I disagree entirely.

 

The UK is a parliamentary democracy. We elect politicians to take decisions on our behalf for the good of the nation. The fact that the current batch - with a few exceptions - appear to be pretty poor doesn't mean that the whole system should be consigned to the bin.

 

There is also a more practical objective. I don't think that the UK public has the desire to be consulted on a more regular basis: Look at the turnout for the referendum on PR: 19% if I remember correctly? Do we really want decisions taken by less than 1 in 5 of the electorate.

Yes Ray, I know that you disagree.

 

And I know that you know that I disagree with you.

 

Got a virtual golf torny.

There really is no need to resort to terms such as 'sad losers'. It's hardly adding to the conversation and just encourages the wrong idea of winners and losers. You may have 'won' the vote, but you 'lose' with the obvious consequences of why Brexit is adding to the UK's woes (and yes we know it's not the only reason, but it's certainly a major contributory factor).

Just another so what, get on with it UK is free.

I got a version of BREXIT and it’s nothing like I hoped for. The reasons for that are already explained.

Have you considered why the UK joined in the first place and why wasn't that permanent? How come Brexit gets to be permanent?

I don't consider anything that is negative.

UK out and i have posted many times in other threads on the subject UK should not have joined in the first place.

I don't think the campaign wails had much effect on the outcome.

 

But we've been through all this before.

At the risk of creating a noisy echo (from the past), this referendum was not primarily about trade and economics. I think most Brexiteers would welcome a sensible arrangement between European nations.

Hello Nauseus,

 

Hope that you are well? Echo here.

 

Well, the UK has reclaimed its' 3% of sovereignty from the EU (which the financial markets relieved us of in the blink of an eye). Ho hum.

 

Enjoy the virtual golf tournament. Bon chance (sorry, I mean good luck)????

Just one other Country is going into a recessions , rather than the other five countries in G7 . 

  That is good news IMO , would be bad news if all 7 Countries went into recession ????

Why are some people so concerned about a recession in a Country they don't live in ?

   Like it doesn't effect them at all

They are responding to leaks.

Please provide a statement from the UK Government that they are seeking such a "Swiss-Style" or any other deal!

Here in the U.K , everyone seems to just be getting on with it and have moved on and I haven't yet heard anyone mention Brexit or its effects. 

   Could be that Brits living in Thailand had thoughts about moving to Spain or somewhere in the E.U and want the UK to re-join the E.U so they can get a visa* for Spain ?

   * I know

Maybe they have assets in the UK which they are concerned about? Maybe their family and friends are affected by the recession?

 

Any number of possible reasons why they might be concerned.

Not everyone has moved on. People may be getting on with things because what other choices do they have.

 

Plenty of discussion in the media and comment from the public about Brexit.

Germany is about to go into recession as well as the U.K "
