    ?

    Really? So on one hand the Governments of the Fourth German Reich ( EU) and the UK are so incompetent that they cant work this out. On the other hand even more trust should be put in the hands of government because of their incompetence to execute the will of the people.

    This makes no sense.

    The Brits want out of the Reich and the best way to do it is a No Deal March 29th exit. Will a little chaos will result? Sure it will, but Britain survived the Blitz, WWII, and the destruction of socialist governments in the 60's and 70's. After those two twin trauma's this will be nothing. They have a strong free market economy that will not only survive, but boom after throwing of the socialist red tape of the EU Reich.

    The will of the people needs to be executed.

    Yes, that's what Pete said, keep voting until they get it "right". Leftists only like democracy when it turns out their way.

    The EU high court tells Britain that they can universally reverse the Brexit vote. Why, because the stupid people voted the wrong way.[/QUOTE

    The term "The Free World" surely does not mean what it used to.

    For all the fear of "Nazi's" taking over that people are imaging they are seeing it right in plain sight and ignoring it. The EU and how it is run was the dream of the Nazi party. Europe was to be "united" and run by armies, not military armies, but a massive technocratic armies. One of the features of the Nazi government was its insane attention to bureaucratic detail and intrusion into every nook and cranny of life. Not really through terror, but actually through bureaucracy. Sound familiar?

    In developed countries freedom is not taken away by death squads and armed men, but by professional technocrats. Freedom is not shot dead it is slowly suffocated to death.

    Ask yourself who really controls the EU?

    I'm convinced any of that will be the result if they leave the EU.

    In the US, how many times has an activist court, state or federal, overturned a legal and constitutionally sound intitiative passed by the people?

    That will likely never happen without significant outside pressure. The EU doesn’t want to lose access to the British economy.

    Oh, so now we’re playing the game where you set up strawmen, knock them down, and amuse yourself. Cool, have fun with that.
