My
opinion is that leaving is a step in the wrong direction, just as we were starting to feel like a European Community. Immigration is a clouded issue and quite frankly the multicultural society we live in is one of the things I am most proud of about living here.
I totally agree amd immigration had nothing to do with why I cast my vote
I am utterly dismayed that all the EU social funding is going to go
EU social funding....where does it come from? The EU pot. Who pays into that pot? We do! and we only get part of it back. Social Funding will still need to be made but on our own priorities and without EU taking a cut to prop up weaker economies like Bulgaria.
I sincerely hope we don't regress all the progressive laws and regulations that have been brought in under the EU, 20-20-20, REACH, RoHS, Temporary Agency Workers Directive, Working Time Directive, GDPR, to name but a few... if our government reverts them that would be a tragedy and pretty much amount to crimes against humanity.
Agree in principle but not all of them have had intended consequences...WTD directive pretty much destroyed the Firm system in the NHS and with it, a key chain of medical responsibility. The imposition of these directives by unelected and therefore permanent Commissioners is a prime reason for me making my vote.
For sure the EC absolutely is not perfect, the laws and regulations are not perfect either, but at least as a member state we have a say and some influence over what happens. Being out and just having a trade deal like Norway for example, I can just see us not being able to do anything about it but comply anyway, I mean if you have to comply with RoHS to sell your electronic goods in the EU, then you will still have to comply even if we leave.
Well yes, looking on the dark side. Witton Park makes some cogent bright side suggestions from a position of experience
Finally, what are the farmers going to do without the bailouts?
I guess they will be supported by UK initiatives tailored to UK needs rather than a generalised handout that is more influenced by noisy neighbours like France
It seems so wrong on so many levels
All depends on your viewpoint!
Having said that I am open minded and really keen to hear what will actually be good about it, got to make the best of things hey, I want something to look forward to instead of medicine shortages and food price increases, so... any practical examples like the ones I have given above but that are about why it will be good?
I'm sure there is a HUGE appetite for synthesisers in USA!!
