Brexit

[Witton Park]

I guess that sums up the mindset difference between people who voted brexit and those like me (and 90% of the people of Ireland), who accept that it is far from a perfect institution but on balance the advantages considerably outweight the disadvantages.

One person's meddling is another person's order to adhere to the rules of the club.

Are you trying to tell me the Irish Government are relaxed about EU interference in their fiscal policy?

It doesn't seem that way.

The problem is with Lisbon, it gave the EU the opportunity to assume competencies and expand it's reach in a way previous treaties hadn't.
Hence we haven't seen a new treaty since.

In terms of the public support for the EU in Ireland if so many Irish eurosceptics have changed opinion, it just seems to show that the EU policy of playing tough, scaring others, is actually working.

Maybe it will help retain the other 27. Time will tell.

Have a good Xmas everyone
