Dont you see that this EU ideology and having all these countries under one flag, national anthem, same currency and hopes to have one big army is another desguise for communism! And it’s all Christian countries with the same beliefs and aspirations. BULL SHIT. GCs Bulgarians or Romanians as an example are not similar to Germans or the french as an example. We have to fight against communism and therefore Brexit must happen to pave the way for other countries to seek their independence from this communist aspired organisation.
You make it sound like the Germans and the French forced all the other countries in the EU to join the club or else.
Perhaps you are confusing the EU with communist Soviet Union invading and forcing other countries to become part of the Soviet block against their will.
Each members of the EU willingly accepted the terms of the EU before joining. Some smaller countries got certain exemptions through negotiations before joining. No coercion, no threats, no blackmailing, the member states democratically chose to join the EU, and if they wanted to leave the EU, they can. No one is forcing any members to remain in the EU.
It seems your beef with the EU is because it is a “Christian club” and are refusing to let in a Muslim country like Turkey into the club. Did you ever think it is because Muslim countries and Democracy are not compatible nor with the EU values which are the reasons why Turkey will not make it into the EU anytime soon, if ever?
There is no confusion our end Kikapu.
We actually believe that the EU is far more dangerous than the Soviet Union because the Soviets only threatened us, it didn't have power over sovereign Nations to demand partition and annexation of part of their territory.
The EU are like a terminal cancer which eats Nation States and it is virtually impossible to treat or eradicate as we have seen with BREXIT. The Brits will be cured and get out but God help the rest that remain.
There are 27 terminally ill Nations in the EU right now. We can only hope that some can save themselves.
I am sorry Paphitis, but your above post is not only ridiculously, but stupid also, but you are entitled to it no matter how warped your thinking is about the EU and all it’s member states who have willingly and democratically chose to become an EU member state giving their people EU citizenship along with their own country’s citizenship. The British never lost their identity by being in the EU for the last 40+ years, so what makes you think other EU members have by accusing them of being “terminally ill”.
You know Paphitis, with your frame of thinking and logic, I am very surprised that you do not demand that Australia should not have the Queen of England as the head of state and have the Union Jack on it’s flag. What about all the sovereignty rights and claims you make that you stand for on behalf of the UK, but you neglect the same at home? After all, why would you accept a non elected official, the Queen, from 12,000 miles away to be head of Australia? Totally intriguing to say the least.
Again I think I will have to respoectfully disagree with you.
Only a very few EU members had given their citizens the opportunity to democratically vote whether they want to be part of the EU. According to the Lisbon Treaty, every EU member State was suppose to have a referendum or vote. Only Ireland, Holland, and Denmark did. The rest reneged on that obligation. The EU interfered into the domestic politics of all 3 to ensure a YES vote.
The UK didn't either but they did hold a referendum in 2016 and the majority voted to leave. So they are the 4th EU member to offer a say to the general public.
So I challenge your statement about willfully and democratically joining the EU. We have also now seen what democracy means to the EU. It's a mere concept or illusion. They don't support democracy unless they like the outcome.
As for the Australian Monarchy. We had a referendum in Australia, It was a very simple question: "should Australia become a Republic"? The options were YES or NO. That's it!
The vast majority voted to maintain the Crown and all its institutions. I voted for a Republic. I am a
Republican even to this day. If there is another vote I will vote for Republic. But I accepted I was on the losing side. It's my obligation as a
DEMOCRAT to accept that my side lost and concede defeat with grace and respect for my fellow citizens and my country at large. Therefore, I accept the Australian Crown as our Head of State, an institution I served to defend.
And it's not as if I don't like the Australian Institutions as they stand. On the contrary, I think Australia and the UK are very blessed and have the best form of Government on the planet. Australia in particular which is a carbon copy of the UK except that we do actually have a written Constitution and we have a Senate and not a House of Lords like they do who are not elected but are appointed by the Royal establishment.
