How do we resolve the Brexit mess?

I believe the EU has tried to make an example of Britain for allowing democracy to work, in order to disincentivize any other potential leavers from trying to leave.

Don’t have a dog in this hunt or a villa in Spain, so I’ll leave it there!

In what way do you think they did that? I’m not sure how we’re any different to any other non member of the EU.

Who said they were set in stone,they change all the time,there were even opt outs. They were there for the benefit of members and associate members. Not for non members.

I'm glad we have cleared that up, rules can change so as an example you could have freedom of trade without free movement of people if you wanted to. Good to know.

I think it's this simple.
The EU is basically the creation of a USA/USSR (big, big state) in Europe. It's great for people who think that their own country is run by inept politicians and would therefore rather be ruled over by those much more sensible European politicians and have safety in numbers. However, many people would much rather run their own business and take their chances on the success or failure of that business based on their own efforts (small state). Many of us just do not want layer upon layer of rule makers telling us what is good for us, we can decide that ourselves.

Optimism? I ain't the one complaining. I never was particularly bothered about the economics. Apart from Spam and Pret jokes in response to the Armaegeddon view being pushed which I didn't believe and still hasn't happened.

We can now vote in remain politicians and those wanting electoral refor.......

Oh yeah that's a bit awkward isn't it......

Free movement of labour you mean, we always had the right to remove those not working.Not sure why you'd want to scrap it though.

People/labour pedantry alert. Wanting to or not isn't relevant to the point neither is not working. Dishonest lot you remainers.

No it isnt pedantry it's 2 very different things that was used dishonestly in the campaign to convince voters people could just come here when they want and claim benefits ,use services.Saying the distinction isn't relevant is to put it mildly ,wrong.
