    We were usually swimming against the tide ; and the EU bureaucracy took away any trace of democratic accountability https://twitter.com/citizenx99/status/741742198773932032 …

        Yes John, because 800 unelected lords in the house of commons is really democratic compared to MEP's we vote for that...

        Lords don't make law. Our MP's do. Commission (unelected) in the EU make the law. Quite a big difference

        EU is inward looking and out of date in a global world. Tariffs are hurting African farmers. Little Europeans...

        as a UKIP voter you've also been voting for some knob jockey to NOT turn up to votes.

        All respect for you, garnered over 40 years, lost. There is no logical reason - none - for leaving the EU, despite its flaws.

        but if it has flaws, and we have been in for 40 years, and it is still flawed isn't that evidence that it won't work,

        don't agree with that in the slightest. UK Parliament has its flaws, we've had that for much longer. We should chuck it in?

        point missed. We have about 8% of the votes, so on our own, powerless. New country comes in % goes down, still less chance.

        Yeah, but we lose about 8% of sovereignty as a trade-off! Can't understand why leavers are so prepared to make us so powerless.

        you can't lose what you don't have, and we don't have sovereignty. Sov can't be diced and sliced, you either is or you ain't

        Oh, balls. That's simply not true. For instance, EU not allowed to have any say in health and education policy.
