Yeah, and there goes another pink blob with wings...
We've had a petition with well over 100,000 signatures - to bring down the price of fuel. No debate, none planned. More than that for the one about immigration - and the Leader of the House says that is unlikely to be debated. Start as many petitions as you like, I have a fiver that says the debates will not happen.
Get out of Europe, eh? You are seriously considering taking us out of the union that means we can buy and sell 40% of the goods we produce without any duties or extra taxes (beyond VAT) and letting them set a range of import duties that will price us out of all these markets? That will do more damage to this country than any banker has ever managed.
I am sure that, if put to the vote, this country would take us out. At least that would mean that the depression and the following default on our debts wouldn't be followed by a load of complaints about the Government on forums - we would have done it to ourselves. Google 'Argentina default' if you want to know what happens when a country defaults on its debts - the situation still hanging over Greece - and everyone really loses all their money.
I appreciate there are things about the European Union we could do without, but again, Government could choose to do as Norway and France - choose not to implement all European legislation - and save us all the agony. We could also do more by choosing not to buy food that is subject to this legislation and demand local produce. We can't be arsed, it's all too much trouble! Nonetheless, voting to leave the EU is the best way to ensure that a depression results and you lose your job.
