Seifert said: "What is the point in Brexit given that when the young people in say a generation's time, come into full prominence and reverse Brexit and likely sign up to the Euro and Schengen, given this will happen, what's the point of leaving?"
Answer: You're making a big assumption there. You assume that when the young are old, have been out in the real world for a while. Paying a mortgage, paying rent... realising Globalism brings competition to their own life. Higher house prices, more competition for jobs, slower wage inflation than the cost of living as a result. The young are the way they are because they lack life experience, that doesn't make them stupid though... with time they will see that for the vast majority of them Globalism is not good for them. Only the young at the top of the socioeconomic classes benefit from Globalism in a monetary sense. These people are not the majority.
As the late, great Sir Winston Churchill once said:
"If You Are Not a Liberal at 25, You Have No Heart. If You Are Not a Conservative at 35 You Have No Brain"
Seifert Said: "In my experience only a fool defines the young."
Answer: Can you give me some specific examples of what you have personally seen in your experience actually happen to substantiate the above? i.e What have you seen young people who have then become older actually do?
Seifert Said: "The only rational course, surely, is to find a way to make the EU work, and reform it from within."
Answer: David Cameron tried that, he went over with his begging bowl, begging for reform so that the UK could stay in the EU. He was stone walled, he came back with an empty bowl trying to sell fresh air to the British public. We then had a democratic referendum and voted out.
Seifert Said: "Why bother with something that will be totally undo in 20 years time?"
Answer: That's an assumption, the only evidence you have is that of what the young voted for. History has shown that the young change their views given more life experience. If they didn't Conservative parties simply wouldn't exist. But they do because the young who tend to be Liberal with Leftist views (not all but in general) come out into the real world after University. And once they have a stake in society, they want to protect that stake... and they know being Liberal puts their stake in society at risk. (Their job, their house payments etc)
Seifert Said: "People have to cool down and be rational. Put the country''s interests first, not blind stubornness."
Answer: Cool down... you haven't seen anything yet. The politicians will experience the wrath of the British people for many years if they deny us the result of that referendum.
