EU Referendum Thread

For all it's faults the British Government are answerable to the British people and the way we are heading it may soon be an English Government that will be accountable to the English Electorate.
Not quite sure how you could describe the British government as properly answerable to the 'British people' given the electoral system that operates in this country.

They are answerable, in any meaningful sense, to a few hundred thousand voters in marginal constituencies.

This is, again, a PR request, one that was rejected by a vote not long ago, the system we have is the system we want, which means it is a democratic system.
 
I don't think it matters to us what Greece do.


Shocking that an undervalued currency for the Germans has proved be a disaster for Greece et al. I mean who would have guessed.

This, this and this.

Also funny that Germany can break financial regulations about reserves and no one bats an eye.
 
Greece have failed to pay their first installment of their bail out bung by the IMF,their far left government too have rejected 'austerity.'
How do our fellow 'No to austerity' supporters think they should proceed? Countries are not like households so should they
just try borrowing elsewhere to get the cash they need to pay all their public services this month?
Who do you go to after you've told the IMF to swivel, Wonga.com?
It can only mean default and Euro exit, nothing else will get them out of the shit.
Trouble is then, they return to what they had before, but with enforced austerity whether they like it or not.

Can't they put it on an interest free balance transfer credit card?

They should have defaulted ages ago. It's inevitable unless they can persuade the Germans to write the debt off. The sooner they do it the better (for the Greeks) short term pain for long term gain.
 
When was PR voted upon?

Must have missed that one.
Ah yes, my apologies, it's watered down cousin, AV was the one, but I knew that anyway.
I'm sure if PR had replaced AV the result would have been exactly the same, PR has been done
to death in parliament and Cleggy did his best to try and persuade us to change to a system more favourable towards his own party, which is understandable,
but futile as we neither want or need it.
