Theres no need to worry. The EU is going to collapse sooner rather than later. With anti immigration and anti EU parties having been elected in Italy, Austria, Hungary and a couple of others and the growing anti immigration and anti EU sentiment in germany and sweden its only a matter of time until this doomed experiment draws to its obviously forseeable conclusuion. Then normality can resume.
Hi captainpish, i'd just like to say how grateful i am that
finally we have a 'Leave' perspective. It would obviously appear you are a bit outnumbered, but i hope that doesn't dishearten you.
Rather than get too bogged down in the nitty-gritty, i'd like to touch on one thing from the ^above.
The idea that the EU is some sort of Utopian experiment doomed to failure is a rich seam that runs through this discourse. It has always struck me as an extraordinary position to take against - Churchill argued, post-war, that
some sort of European Union would be a necessary outcome of the last conflict, for example. Quite a Utopian proposition, really, in the circumstances.
Whether he would have looked upon the current set-up with unconditional admiration is very much open to debate, but the
attempt has its merits, does it not?
So...
And what is that normality exactly?
Well it used to be war didn't it?
Is this not something that concerns you?
Do you think that a return to nucleated States acting within narrow National self-interest is somehow a
better outcome than what has been achieved thus far?
You say...
Normality is what comes afterwards...
... without really putting much meat on the bones of your alternative.
I would be very much interested to hear your thoughts.
