  Here’s some free advice to avoid further embarrassment: Maybe don’t call other people idiots without having any understanding of what’s going on around you.

    Do YOU have an understanding of what’s going on in the EU these days? How Ursula von der Leyen shielded off her floor? Have you checked the projected GDP growth of the UK vs. European countries recently? I’d say the UK is pretty well off without the EU. And they have the freedom to shape their own laws - all by themselves.

      We don’t have any ability to influence how our laws are shaped here. The petition system is a joke, MPs ignore their constituents and we can’t choose our PM. Its a constant garbage fire of a government. Honestly you’re being a dick, get off your high horse

        And rejoining the EU would help with that in what way?

  British voters are mostly stupid

  Honestly this, it’s why the Brexit vote even passed in the first place; heck, there was a large number of people googling ‘what is the EU’ after the Brexit vote passed

  Winston Churchill is incorrectly attributed with having said “The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter”, but if he had said it he would have been right
