alberto medina, It would take a while to answer that, and people feel quite strongly about it. So I'd keep asking around for as many opinions as you can get. Some would argue that the European Union's stranglehold on the elected Governments of its member states makes it authoritarian, as the only elected members of the EU (MEP's) are conveniently the only branch that cannot put forward legislation. Basically, many believe the EU shouldn't have a say in our Government, and should remain as an economic union, because the laws the EU put forward are done so by unelected officials. Among the specific laws Anti-EU folks are in opposition to include open-borders in response to the refugee crisis, and the freedom of movement with an EU passport, which many perpetrators of terrorist attacks in the last few years took advantage of to enter Germany and France. Also, Anti-EU sentiments have a lot to do with criticism of shared economy, Spain and Greece are in tough times, arguably because of this. It's members are limited to trade outside of the Union, with USA, China and Russia for example. Pro-EU folks argue that the Union offers economic security, due to the ease of exporting products within the union, it was founded to be an economic union, after all. Trade may be more difficult once Britain leaves in this union. Many argue that freedom of movement within the Union helps foreign students and workers - it is free, whereas you would need to pay for a Visa otherwise. And of course, there's skepticism as to whether this may move the UK away from free trade, and over time, devolve into protectionism or autarky. Nonetheless, folks on both sides of the argument exist who strongly support free trade, whilst remaining somewhat-to-strongly critical of how much power the EU has as a Government. Some of course, don't mind the EU's role as a government, obviously, those folks are Pro-EU. May have come across as a bit biased, I support Brexit... but I hope you consider my take on things along with other folks who may disagree... and sorry for all the paragraphs.

I genuinely don't care how poor brexit makes me I want my vote to by for the people who govern me with absolutely nothing and nobody above that. I'm coming to the end of my career but I look at all the poor young people with no job and no prospects and Greece, Spain and Italy and my heart goes out to them.

You can only truly understand Great Britain by understanding we have never truly emerged from the end of WWII. The Labour Party introduced a number of sweeping reforms like building millions of social houses, new schools, new hospitals and for a short while we had something called the post-war consensus. However that lasted only until 1979. Since then these gains which basically pulled the British working class up out of Victorian slums have not been renewed, and have in fact been reversed. I myself, like so many kids in Britain, went to school in some 1960s prefabricated shell of a place that was well past its sell by date. Some of my lessons took place in a portacabin. Incredibly, despite this social malaise, Margaret Thatcher and her buddy Ronald Reagan managed to convince people that the key to prosperity was to role back the state and where investment was needed the most, chronic underinvestment took place. If you walk round some council estates in Teeside, Merseyside, south London or the West Midlands you'll struggle to believe you're in 21st Century Britain. The class system which existed in the 19th Century is firmly in place and any gains made by Labour governments provided only temporary relief. And yet despite all this, underpinning Britain is a sense of Nationalism that has endured since the days of empire. We are very different from the rest of Europe. Barely 100 years ago Britain ruled the world and that sense of superiority endures. Look at France for example. France live a very different, joyful, egalitarian life and were not prepared to give this up in the face of Naziism. Their country was not bankrupted and bombed. There architecture and institutions endured where Britain's crumbled. Is it any wonder we have a different perspective on Europe compared to our neighbours? Despite all this, when push comes to shove the British working class would rather retain what they see as their identity rather than emancipate themselves from poverty. They would rather cling to the Thatcherite idea that they can own a big house, pay little tax and do what they want, rather than accept a cleaner, fairer, more socially just but multicultural society. And hence when push came to shove despite immigration being the only fucking thing keeping many Northern towns afloat, Brexit was embraced as a way of clinging on to a British identity. etc.

I don't agree with much of what you say Matt but nice to read some well argued points on a comments thread. Briefly though - I don’t think the Vichy regime was a conscience decision to preserve French culture, it was (at best) a pragmatic decision to preserve French lives. I strongly disagree with your comment that “immigration being the only fucking thing keeping many Northern towns afloat” I don’t see any evidence for this and immigration putting downward wage pressure on the least well paid is now an accepted fact. I work in construction, I have seen these mechanisms at work for many, many years now, my business partner is Polish and he would have voted Brexit if he we able. I have no problem with multiculturalism, but there are hard economic facts that the working classes live with that were a big part of Brexit. Broadly speaking your wider points were undoubtedly a factor. Right that’s me done, it Sunday and I have to finish cutting a bath panel - do you see my point? ;-) - its harder that in needs to be 😉 Yesterday I was mowing my Bangladeshi neighbour's lawn, I'm not a little Englander and I don't meet many of them
