    Also an excellent point.

    I guess if you want to destroy the British economy overnight and weaken a fairly reliable ally in the region then sure, leave first and figure it out second.

    This appears to be fear mongering. The Brits can establish bilateral agreements.
    The people want their country back.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.


    I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.

    Of course they can, the point is they have to get all of that into place FIRST.

    It is the only way out. Why would it destroy their economy? What's the proof of that. They use their own currency. They have enough workers. They can trade with anyone at what ever deal they get. I think we'd give them a break over the EU.

    I don't see where you get this stuff.
    Liberals are a clear and present danger to our nation

    48% of the pepole who voted remain have effectively been ignored since the vote. A yes/no question was set for a situation with multiple aspects. Ever since the vote (leaving aside the overspending crimnality and the Russian meddling) opinions have changed as the reality of what the consequences of leaving the world's biggest trading bloc to become a minnow in a huge pond have become clearer. Buyers remorse is well and truly here.
    The ruling elite are playing asinine political games with our children's futures at stake.
    News: Rich people paying rich people to tell middle class people to blame poor people.

    They say a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, but it's not one half so bad as a lot of ignorance.

    They need a deal for trade with the EU that allows them to make bilateral agreements with other nations after Brexit. That is one of the sticking points. The EU does not want that to happen.

    They never should have been given a direct say in the matter in the first place.

    The people have no difficulty with Brexit, they already voted to get out of the EU.

    The problem is two different factions of govt, one supported and financed by soros to keep the EU together at all costs so he can have great influence and the other faction thats trying to implement the will of the people.

    There is no need for another vote by the people
