Good, so you now agree that Juncker won his election by European governments more convincingly than your narrow referendum "victory"?

The Budesrepublik has states which are rich and states that are poor. All under the same currency. They survive by transferring money from the rich to the poor states. Scotland has poor regions and as a whole is being subsidised by England. All under the same currency. The United States has rich...

Why do they need to stall when we are taking our time to get our act together? We are meant to get on with it. We invented Brexit. Come on, tell the EU what it is. Tell the EU which things the U.K. Counts as commitments and ask the EU which things the EU insists are commitments and then hand...

26-2 is a lot more convincing than 52:48. Its democracy, get over it. He is elected for a term ( 5 years I think ), so he will have to be reelected in 2019 if he wants to stay on. He is not a king and is therefore accountable. The EU Commission proposes laws which can be amended or rejected by...

Where have you been?

The Tory problems are internal and will not be argued out in parliament. Let's see who Murdoch and the other influential people in the background want.

You are right about the time wasting and lack of direction with Brexit. The Sun claims it is the drunkard Juncker and the Dandy Barnier who are holding up Brexit. It is quite clearly the collapsing Tory party who are at fault. May is being made to look ineffective by people like BoJo as a tactic...

Over 85% against AfD and neo Nazis. Very decisive. Why are people on here talking about them?

You claim we are homeless..... We are not jobless, but spending power has been reduced, car sales have dropped, the pound has dropped, imported goods - including raw materials for production are being more expensive, a rate rise making credit for expansion more expensive is on the way and the...

Well no. The idea put forward several times, and again now, is to have fiscal conformity. That, and a common currency, are necessary for the medium to long term. The EU has not got that far yet. It may be of benefit that the UK is leaving.

As in 2009 and not as in 2013. The AfD got 12% and the CDU got 32%. That is not nearly half. AfD are to an extent regional and there are many historical factors in the trends in the West and previous communist East. I am not worried about the direction in which the EU is going in. More...

Spain is a net receiver. Spain has a constitution and the referendum was against the constitution. Nothing whatsoever to do with the EU. If.. they have EU Rights which are not being observed, then they will have to go to court to clarify if this is true. A bit like SISU having to prove their...

Bendy Bananas - the Myth to end all Myths 26/05/2016 . The EU trying to ban straight & bendy bananas is perhaps the most well-established Euromyth of them all. Is Brussels really meddling in what our beloved bananas should look like? Yes & No. Bananas are classified by quality and size so...

He cannot pass any legislation and he is not the sole member of the commission. How can he tell member states they have to pass what he personally says? They can amend or reject his proposals. He will be up for election by 27 EU governments at the end of his term. He is the leading civil servant...

She needs others to join her again. She had the same Percentage in 2009 and did a deal with the SPD. The bigger shock is the collapse of the SPD who has achieved a lot of what they promised to do. This time it is more complicated because of her right wing sister party and the improbable...

I said that I think that it will be bad for us and up until now I haven't seen any positive signs that we will be better off outside the EU. So guessing, but based on observations. Saying that we will be sailing off into a glorious sunset without any facts or even observations that back it up is...

They called an illegal referendum. The central government didn't allow it. Scotland were given the power to call a referendum by Westminster. Westminster allowed it to take place and took part in the debate. Totally different scenario.

You live on an island surrounded by water as Trump would define it. Germany has 8 borders and Luxemburg is a land island surrounded by borders. Many countries would suffer immense economic problems if we went back to hard borders. Millions cross back and forth over soft borders every day. A...

Merkel isn't a dictator. She has to put a coalition together - four different parties including her own. She also has to hold a party conference to lay out policy. What makes you think that Juncker rules the EU? What makes you think that May is in charge of the UK? She has a cabinet and a party...

They held the referendum in accordance with the rules. A bit different.
