Alternatively you could challenge my point of view by addressing the points I have made. I was under the impression that a major criticism of Remainers was that we can't know what the future will bring. Now we're being asked for predictions???? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was kinda nice when we had a, fairly influential, input on the rules. It's a bit screwy now that we have to follow all the rules, but no longer having a democratic voice when it comes to forming them.

We did have a say... Over 96% of EU rules were either devised by, or supported by the UK government. Now we have no say and just have to follow their directives anyway.

We had very little influence in the Franco/German led EU when we were in it. Now we have left, we follow the rules we wish to follow.
