- The EU-wide poll found that seven out of ten Europeans would vote to remain if a Brexit-style referendum was held in their country.
- But in Italy and the Czech Republic, there is no majority in favour of Remain with just 49 percent and 47 percent of voters supporting EU membership.
- 24 percent of Czech and 19 percent of Italian voters would vote to leave with 29 percent and 32 percent undecided, according to the poll.
- The most “Remain” EU countries were the Netherlands (86 percent), Ireland and Luxembourg (both 83 percent), the Swedes (81 percent) and the Germans (80 percent).
Fearmongering
Fearmongering is the primary reason there is no outright majority to simply walk away.
Fabricated horror stories by misguided remainers about pets, food, prices, and travel have people on edge.
Scotland
Scotland is the second major reason there is no outright majority to walk away. The Scots voted overwhelmingly to remain. They also voted to remain in the UK.
Scottish First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, an avid Remainer, wants a second referendum supporting Scotland exiting the UK.
Ironies Galore
Theresa May responded: “As we have been repeatedly clear, Scotland already had an independence referendum in 2014, and voted decisively to stay.Both sides need to respect the result of that referendum.”
Respect the Referendum! Yes, indeed.
Confusion Remains
Meanwhile, the Tory leadership committee asked Theresa May to Clarify When She Will Stand Down.
Don’t expect any answers.
Don’t expect Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and Theresa May to work out their differences either, at least until after the EU parliament elections. Corbyn wants to bide time until he can force a UK election.
Yesterday, Theresa May dropped plans to bring yet another “meaningful vote” on the withdrawal agreement bill to the Commons next week. There is no support for anything including another referendum.
Theresa May gets the blame for not delivering Brexit.
Mike “Mish” Shedlock
If the Westminster Parliament had any sense, they’d repeal the various acts of Union, raise the Cross of Saint George over Westminster Palace, and do an EXIT, leaving an empty husk of the UK comprisiing Scotland, Northern Ireland, and even Wales in the EU.
Oh and talking about learning Russian or Chinese, looks like that will be compulsory if the UK stays IN the EU , as they are making EU Defence Policy and if they are deciding that they control everything else don’t they….and you can add Hebrew to that as well.
And while everyone is distracted by the Brexit we did not get charade what is Theresa May busy doing behind our backs? We have been signed up to a European Defence Union.
Ukcolumn.org elaborate,these guys are really on the ball.
Theresa May has attended a meeting to further the tying in of UK Defence Policy at the Munich Security Council. Attendees included George Soros, Chairman Wolfgang Isichinger,Airbus,Mossad SpecialOps.
David Milliband,Deutsche Bank Chairman,Saudi,Allianz,CarlBilt,Fu Ying(Committee of Foreign Affairs China),GoldmanSach,George Osborne,JOE BIDEN, JOHN KERRY,Polish Foreign Office,Russian Chief Rabbi,BBC,Canadian,NATO ,Stoltenberg over 600 attendees advising and deciding UK defence policy without Parliament involved.
So what the hell is going on , you tell me..
Limeys are natural born boot licks. That’s why they have a king. First thing they did after being saved from National Socialism was to vote socialist. Slavery to Brussels is good enough for them.
In five years they will still be negotiating. Meanwhile, they are still in… Maybe I said that wrong. The EU is still in Britain.
My bet is, in a few years, Brexit will have no meaning. In the upcoming elections, the nationalist parties might win a third of the vote, and they hate Brussel’s power grab, although they are OK with economic block. But wait, these are the good times; when the economy finally goes down the drain, it will only get worse for Brussels.
Bureaucracies and bureaucrats NEVER give up power willingly.
Eventually, if these countries want to leave the EU, they are going to have to put troops on their borders and force it to happen.
For the first time ever the Republic of Ireland has the UK over a barrel. When is the penny going to drop? 500 millions will always beat 65 millions.
Planet destructive , cheap debt stimulated materialism and sick consumerism driven models like the EU in combination with abundant social wellfare paid for with printed or even digitalised money are unsustainable in the long term ! I do admit we had a good time, believe me though, it was unsustainable from the beginning and it is almost over now….. Big question remaining who is going to pay the unpaid bills …. DOWN WITH THE EU !
Anyone else from Planet 9 want to contribute?
More bureaucracy is never the answer.
Brexit not stupid at all. Remaining in the EU will all its bullshit regulations is stupid. A customs union is even worse
Leaving the EU is the dumbest thing my country has ever done.
Yet staying is even dumber. At least for the poor saps stuck living in “your” country.
The “bullshit regulations” is old fake news (bent bananas) continuously fomented for decades by the English tabloid press. Without EU regulations there are 2^28 as many regulations to deal with for people attempting any kind of pursuit. More rules (think traffic lights) are a function of increasingly complex societies. African villages have the most ruthless deregulation you can encounter on this planet.
EU regulations good???. EU had much more lenient regulations for diesel than the US. Not much reported on, but if you look into it the EU was lobbied by the Germen car manufactures to allow poluting more. The UK would have been better sticking to the US rules. So is the EU good for the environment then?
Theresa May fully shares the ‘blame’ for not delivering Brexit with the majority of Conservative and Labour MP’s according to a clear majority of the British electorate. That’s why the upcoming EU election (MEP’s) and UK General Election (MP’s) will probably split the vote three ways, between the two existing majority parties and the Brexit Party.
It should be interesting to see in a first-past-the-post country which is not well equipped to handled such fracturing of the vote. Merkel did pretty much the same thing to Germany, but May is a weaker leader and the result is likely to be even more chaotic than in Germany as the major axis will no longer be left-right, but something closer to internationalist-sovereign.
Internationalist – Soverign IS the axis, though most don’t realize it, yet. This is why Trump and Putin both are pilloried in the press daily. Neither wants a thing to do with an authoritarian fascist new world order. The day will soon come when the traitorous scum will be seen for what they really are. Until then, nothing will improve.
Why does the human race crave more regulations, rules and layers of government?? Free stuff? Security? Fairness? All three are illusions.
Place the jackboot on my throat! … PLEASE!!! It’s OK as long as those other guys that I don’t like get it a bit worse than me!
“Place the jackboot on my throat! … PLEASE!!! It’s OK as long as those other guys that I don’t like get it a bit worse than me!”
That’s pretty much it: I’m OK being Massa’s house nigga, as long as Massa tells me I’m better off than the field niggas.
Brexit is stupid. They should go for both tighter integration and greater control.
Either that, or learn to speak Russian.
Or Chinese
It is never stupid to reduce the number nor layers of tax feeding leeches with access to harass and rob you.
What is stupid, is to persist in serially falling for their nonsense about how you need them, despite you being the one working for what you earn, while all they do is leech off of your work.
Democracy is stupid?
Yes. All implied excuses for government overreach are.
Only a lunatic would want to stay in the EUSSR Lunatic
Asylum.
