The rules would be, in the majority, being made by foreigners.

You been to Europe? Did you feel totally comfortable with how things are done and that you understood the workings of their social, cultural and administrative norms? Did you feel that the actions of daily life were carried out in the same way to your own?

I know I don't. They feel like foreign countries and only by living in one for a protracted period would I gain an understanding of how their society works. I have to learn about them, I probably cause offence multiple times. They do not do things in the same way we do (or each other do) and having rules made to suit one culture means they probably do not suit my culture. You could argue the rules made by the EU suit all members equally badly? However I'd answer that by saying I have the option of having rules made by a government that suits my country as perfectly as can be achieved.

Examples include which side of the road we drive on, what language we speak, the measurement system we use, conventions on how we drive (what does a headlight flash mean?).

French people think we're rude because we don't say good morning to the shopkeeper when we go in. We think German people are rude because they walk straight to the front of a queue and demand service. French people cannot and will not stand religion being involved in government, Germans all have to pay a church tax and close the roads to HGVs on a Sunday.

Centrally made rules for a divergent population will be a compromise. Too much of one for my liking.

Feelings of not accepting losing a democratic vote? We'd never have noticed.

What we have here is a minority forcing their views on the majority, even though a democratic vote has already been decided. That's fascism and it's rife in Remain lefties.

Can you try for once to not post something offensive to people who don't share your views?

What you have there are anti-Trump protesters marching along Lavaca Street in Austin, Texas, on Wednesday the 9th of November 2016.

In more relevant news, the Court of Session has ruled that the proroguing of parliament is unlawful.

"Illegal" due to attempt to prevent parliamentary examination of the executive.

Proroguation is not suspended. The Supreme Court will hear the appeal on Tuesday 17th.

Judgment in the "Miller 2" case will be published at noon today, which will be interesting.

Ok, well, let's look at this ..

Measurement, we should have gone 100% metric years ago, it makes sence, it's logical, what's not to like about it.

Language - last I'd seen, there was no european mandate stating french can no longer spoken, or english, or welsh, or spanish ....., in fact, areas such as say, air traffic control, english is the only language that should be legally used, that's not an eu directive either.

Side of the road, again, the UK hasn't been told to change, and neither has Malta, Cyprus or Eire?

I wonder how the scots, welsh and northern irish feel about Westminster? Or even the cornish, seeing as they seem to want independence as well at times

Alot of what you say, can be equally applied to the different countries of the UK without having to go anywhere you need to show a passport. How well do you understand Welsh, or even, a strong scottish, geordie accent etc. Or how about the quirky even within different regions within the UK as a whole.

Personally, anything that makes trade and movement as seamless and as easy as possible is best, it would be good 1 day to have a global currency, no faffing about with currency exchanges etc, obviously, that will never happen. As for being part of a european superstate, meh, unlikely to effect most of us on a daily basis.

Not only a foreign culture, but one that has no roots anywhere, and is failing, and, mark my words, will fail? Actually getting Brexit will only make it fail more quickly, but it's doomed anyway. And those that back it will be left wondering what went wrong Rolling Eyes

Its not a race I want to be gambling on full stop. Trouble is the longer all this goes on, the more devisive it becomes and I predict civil unrest when Parliament reconvenes.

If you believe all the stereotypes, it could end up with one side throwing hummus and the other tins of Carling. I don't believe the stereotypes personally, but some seem to...

But we both are. You have taken one side of the argument, and I the other. Neither of us know exactly what will happen, in detail.

The divisiveness is already cemented in stone. It cannot be repaired, because the two poles aren't reconcilable. It's like having two pieces from two different jigsaw puzzles. My prediction is that the nationalist 'populist' movement will continue to grow, because the globalist movement that currently holds the power hasn't got, isn't even attempting to find answers to their grievances, precisely because they currently hold the power. For now.

I suppose it's exactly like the problems the Welsh have, what with their different language.

My less flippant response is thats exactly why we should engage and find a compromise that suits all the people involved. The US and the USSR/Russian confederation seems to be able to manage it.

For comedic effect, duly qualified... Saying that, if I get down to London and MDMA throws his lager tin at me I may well return fire with a carefully aimed hummus and grated carrot sarnie Laughing

What I can't understand is where this 'nationalism' is going. I fully appreciate the desire to pull back from globalism and this is inevitable given that we will be returning to local food sources, industries etc in the future. Does this mean that brexiteers are really closet Green Party voters but they just don't realise it yet? Perhaps I should be making a banner declaring them all to be tree-hugging soap-dodgers?
