Ryecast had it right up there. and it's the latta.
The problem is
I said there were other reasons too
even if Germany DID have a bigger say, and that was their issue
it doesn't preclude the fact that that say is over GB's own nation as well as a member
The EU is set up like an early United States.
Yep the feelings of beeing under control of Brussels were here too
yeah, ofc. But i think you might of got the wrong end of the stick. The only ppl I've heard speak like that are the Richard Spences of the world.
Well at the end of the day the imigration issue was the most important for most ppl
So how do you explain the large # of ppl that are cheering for the fall of the EU. We can smell death on it.
Eu doomposters you mean?
I mean, someone might've voted for Donald Trump because they thought he was going to bring back Jim Crow.
Not happening anytime soon imo
Does that mean you use that as a cross section of reasoning?
I fail to follow the link between those things
I suppose it was a little extreme
I've heard that a big reason for Brexit was a fear that the UK military would be used as the core for a EU army over which Britain would have less control.
but to say that Great Britain should be controlling the EU
Doesn't seem like Germany has any intention of being a large contributor to their nascent EU army.
seems like an excuse like saying that GB wants colonialism again.
Well from what inunderstood it was deep rooted feeling
They didnt like the fact Germany has more influence in eu then gb even tho they lost ww2
I'm convinced that most people's voting choices are based on the idea that they want to be left alone.
^^
Well that folowed
I don't think that would be the decision of the common man that they want to control other nations.
That's not in their range of interests
Colonialism was never a pauper's game.
@zutt I've been anti EU for well over a decade and I've had many convocations about it and I've never heard that one.
The other question is why do half the people want more and more centralized control and integration?
What do they gain from giving Brussels more power?
Because they think the EU is more likely to leave them the fuck alone.
The people don't.
The other half do
That's the best way to sum it up.
Alright let me break it down differently
I'd assume a sizable portion of the #voteleave crowd blame the EU for much of their problems
yep
The two biggest reasons
another portion just simply think that the EU solidifies them and prevents them from changing the problems with GB
