If they leave then the EU is going to need another TTIP: Transchannel Trade and Investment Partnership
Kitty at my foot and I waAAAant to touch it...

I'd be happy that they leave. They have never been part of Europe anyway. Too bad we can't vote.
We've been part of Europe for a very, very long time.

After then, some guy with good sense digged the channel...
Skipper: We'll fix it. Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this? Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

No way ! You keep him :)
You always obtain more by being rather polite and armed than polite only.
Will you take him off our hands if we vote "Remain"? Because I haven't voted yet, and... :-D
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Rage is making the classic mistake of thinking that Europe and the EU are the same thing here.

Well, on the other hand if they leave, the visage of the honourable mr. Farage will be less often in the news. It's a fair trade-off.
One way or another - we will soon see less of him - unless someone wants to set up a tradition similar to the one we have on November 5th.

Support for the EU was very high right after WW2 and have since dwindled quite a bit. One of the main ideas was to make the European economies dependent on each other, to reduce the risk of all-out war. Naturally, this had some side effects, mostly that some decisions are not made locally or even nationally. If Britan decided to leave, EU will have quite a bit to say about it, so you can 'vote' then.

I was hoping that if we leave, we could "accidentally" send him to Paris on a couple of weeks holiday, and then revoke his passport... :sigh:

Hey we already handle the nuclear garbage from other countries, so we do not need more foul stuff.

Yes, as a leader when you owned a part of it, but never as a partner with the will to construct something together. This is a cultural thing, IMO, and I see UK culturally much more nearer US than Europe.

The refugee "crisis" also, once the initial turmoil is over, presents a unique opportunity for European states to throw aside their cultural differences and create a more blended and inclusive culture, ending the root causes of both world wars for future generations.

But that's the Trumpbox now.

I get the impression that what people are afraid of is that people will not be integrated into the country where they live. I also find the European culture to be a little too broad concept. Clearly, there are large differences in the cultures of for instance Spain, England and the Nordic countries to name a few.

We have been part of Europe for centuries. We just don't want to be part of, and pay to support, a corrupt dictatorship.
Don't worry. Whatever happens today, we'll still be ruled from the playing fields of Eton.

You might want to check out your European history a bit there - the UK has a long history of working with various European countries. You might also want to ignore the media here in the UK - it's very biased on this.

That's fine with me, we get the opportunity to vote them out after 5 years.
I'm not sure that we do. I live in a very safe constituency and as such my vote has no influence whatsoever. According to the Voter Power Index[^] the average UK voter has 6.67 times more influence than I do and the good people of Swansea West have 24.78 times more. Even the good people of Swansea West have no influence over the House of Lords. My vote for an MEP is, in a very real sense, the closest I ever get to having an electoral voice.

I am in the same sort of constituency, but I still believe it's important to vote. I have seen a good few elections in my time where the status quo has been upset because people did use their vote. I don't vote in EU elections because the MEPs have no real power; everything is controlled by the Commission.
