EU referendum

[Dia bando]

The smaller the centralised system the more responsive it can be as seen in Iceland who locked up their bankers and changed their system. I don't see an entity like the EU doing that. The EU seems to be run by and for the bankers as seen by the abhorrent treatment of Greece.

Democracy is a state that responds to the will of the people and unfortunately such an entity is getting rarer and rarer. It can never be found in an unelectable, unaudited, centralised system of financialisation though and that applies to a UK outside the EU too.

Now obviously a Tory government away from Europe isn't any different and that is where I think Labour is again wrong. People don't trust Labour on immigration or Europe and so the UK is in a rough place. It reminds me of the Scottish referendum. Stay or else! Feel the fear!

The funny thing is that there was hope in a free Scotland. There is no hope in Europe or out of it when people carry on living in cuckoo ponzi promise land of perpetual Torydom and a Labour Party that should really remember Benn to the letter. There are a lot of Labour supporters that have left because they don't want immigration or the EU. Labour is still cutting its own nose off by staying somewhat neutral. I don't think Corbyn believes in the EU going on his past comments, but here he is saying hold your noses let's stay. It's a chin scratcher.

What you are rightly (IMO) asking for though is impractical in our current system. You want an Anarcho based civilization built around small collectives doing what is wanted amongst the group. That in the short and medium term is not on the table.

So I would hope people make their decisions based on the realities of the situation in hand:

A realization that technology is 350% more likely to take your job than a migrant.

Closer union with 'strangers' leads to a better understanding of them and thus less conflict.

A more centralized government in a Capitalist society has more chance of controlling the market place.

And the European Union has more chance to compete with Japan, The US and China than the UK as a stand alone state.

Try telling that to some of my friends and family that lost there jobs to migrant workers, go to our
local industrial estate and the majority of workers are migrant.

True it is small comfort if you are that 20% that lose out (as opposed to the 70% who lose their jobs to technology)

Why did they lose their jobs? Was it a cost thing? If it was, it will be EU who make it a more 'equal playing field' long term, not the Eton elite who run the UK...

Yes a cost thing getting rid of British workers this week,! and replacing them with migrant workers on minimum wage the next, a worrying fact if we leave the EU the Tory's would love it they don't like the human right act the EU implement, with out it the Tory's would make it easier to sack and get rid of employees, which they have stated they would love to do.!
People beware just think long and hard you may think the EU does nothing,! but with out them you may just not have a job.

The human rights act I nothing more than a abused tool used by corrupt inept lawyers to keep criminals and migrants in the country.
Get out of Europe and lets sort out our own mess.
If you don't like the tories ( of which not many are fans ) vote them out in the next election.

Human Rights Act is not relevant for the Tories. Cameron wants to be in the EU with the act.

My issue is the wasted money in another layer of bureaucracy that is the European Parliament.

Wales has had EU grants which has really helped in poor areas same goes for England and Scotland, if
we are out of the EU were does the investment come from TELL ME PLEASE.?
Remember if you put in you get out lets remember that I can't see were investment will come from only
the EU.

Do not look to EU for investment that is for your parliament to do it.

Britain is a massive net contributor to the EU. All those EU grants you get in Wales are British money. However much more British money goes on EU grants for countries like Romania and Hungary. If we weren't in we'd have even more money to give out in grants to actual British people.
