What do you mean "most others"? Even the ones complaining are getting something out of the EU. Most complainers ( countries ) are not wanting to leave, but are complaining about specific issues. The demagogues are having a field day - but they offer no alternatives... So, the EU will remain, but...

The biggest problem is that we want to be in the single market, but not accept the rules for membership.

I thought we are turning into a chaotic country anyway since the Brexit catastrophe....

Doesn't show the 27 opponents in the opposite corner- not enough space in the paper.

The chancellor does not have the power of the presidency and is not directly elected. The party is elected and chooses the chancellor. The last chancellor with presidential powers was Adolf Hitler who took over the presidency after Hindenburg died. The current president is Steinmeier. No...

Would you say that a known fascist party winning or getting 45% is the preferable outcome to the ghastly Euro project? Are you quietly hoping for a Le Pen Presidency? Shame on you if you are.

It shows how right wing our country is becoming and how desperate some are. The brexiteers need some support in the EU to tell us " we told you so ". Some on here predicted the rise of the AfD in Germany and even said they were speaking for the silent majority. They have recently decided...

No, but I think that we should stay in the single market as it benefits our industry.

Everything we have ever voted on that got passed. We even had a Uk foreign minister of the EU.

Yes, take Jaguar as an axample, or further back the Hillman Imp. Jaguar had a terrible reputation for spending more time in the garage tha on the road at one time. The Imp was a good car, but built by ex miners in Linwood. Quality was crap.... there were "Monday cars" built with a hang over, and...

We had every right to be making decisions with the 27. We are up with France Germany and Italy when it comes to economic influence in the EU, but we have decided to leave the others to decide the future direction of the EU. Germany isn't the only country in the EU and it doesn't decide...

I thought we were preparing to going to leave the single market because of free movement? That is our threat.The EU is offering us the right to stay in the single market if we accept the rules - we are saying alter the rules or we will leave the single market. And yes poor quality cars couldn't...

Out of interest- how's that work with the UK auto parts suppliers that supply Europe? Will they have a say in May's tactics? The most influential country is Germany, and hopefully they will be pulling the strings.

No, I don't think so. Pampered, nominated by elected representatives and not accountable enough... ok, I'll take that. The UK has a mandate to leave, but there are varying views as to how they would like to leave. The EU has a duty to its members to conduct an orderly leaving process which will...

If there were high import tariffs, competition would be reduced, the pressure would indeed be off inefficient or expensive home industry and they would not concentrate on quality and the price would of goods would go up. That is why people want free trade... to keep prices down and quality up...

Stagnation may well happen - when there is a sudden drop in demand for houses owing to population stagnation or decline, lack of workers to harvest crops or to look after the sick.....not to mention exporters whose goods will have to controlled and maybe have to pay tariffs, actually moving...

The rate of growth will change, especially after Brexit, but the demand will also decline as housing catches up with population growth.

Our common European interests are better represented by the EU than CCC, but CCC / Birmingham Metropolitan Region are and should be responsible for bin collection, local economy etc.. If we go it alone, as seems to be the idea, we will not be represented in local ( in our geographical position...

The employers organization has just expressed concern that they cannot get enough staff in such areas as hospitality, caring and agriculture, which means they need more, not less immigrants. High house prices fuel demand for new housing which employs people in the construction industry- causing...

In comparison with the total electorate, yes.
