Brexit - Should they stay or should they go?

I'm not a Brit but their Queen is on my money so I'm entitled to an opinion. Just a gut feeling but I'd be out like a bat out of hell.And what RAZD said.

She wouldn't be giving up anything. King Charles is hardly likely to throw his own mother out in the street. He's unpopular enough already.The reason she doesn't express an opinion is because it's her duty not to take sides. The royals are big on duty.

When one of the lifeguards quits, those who are already drowning are bound to be worse off. Might be better for the lifeguard though.

Or... the EU was an attempt to put economics before democracy.

People had jobs before governments became obsessed with tweaking the economy. You must be old enough to remember when we had things like flag debates. I don't think that's true of the recent (Canadian) Federal election, or the Saskatchewan provincial election.

That's ironic, considering the fences that the EU nations are putting up to keep out refugees.

The EU's failures seem like a reasonable enough reason to exit.Conversely, if the EU considers Britain such a valuable partner, isn't it likely that they'll negotiate a new partnership that is beneficial to both sides?

Yes, I think failures on the part of the federal government would be valid reasons for provinces to consider separation. That's been happening in Quebec for decades with two referendums. Any time you're a member of a group it's healthy to think about why you might want to get out. Is that a given? I know that the people who voted for exit are being branded as racists but I'm not buying it.

That's what seems like an odd attitude to me. I would want to get out when I found out that there was a dictatorial attitude, not after waiting to see if they were any good at it.

You're the one who used the word. I'm suggesting that the time to get out is when the dictator shows up. You seem to be saying we should only get out if the dictator is really bad at it.

You may be right about Boris Johnson specifically but your analogy does't work. The politician who leads a nation into war is seldom the best general to win the war.

That's your opinion. The majority of Britons seem to disagree.

Of course it can. Like any federal system, it has the power to overrule the sovereignty of any of its constituent states, provinces, etc. Yes, that's democracy in action. We, the people, have a right to protect our ignorance from the "reason" of despots.

They've done it twice in Quebec, so far. Keep asking until you get the answer you want.

"I disagree with them so they're not rational."That doesn't seem rational to me.
