After Our entry into the EU back in 1973 like so many things that has changed so much From affordable housing to many then to unaffordable to many now ... I could go on ...
The other big change is that in 1972 the teenagers were more governed by their parents attitudes, unlike today the teenagers want a bigger say in the world .. and as it seems many youngsters voted to remain and the over 45s were more voting Leave. As the older ones have lived through it all and many have had enough of unregulated immigration and other things, which the younger ones have not gone through and experienced. So we now have a divided age group agenda that voted. 40 years can and has changed so many things from Greece being allowed to go into debt above the.. I believe the agreed EU limit of 3% GDP Debt. And the possible Corruption with the massive amount of wasted money and cost involved with all the MEPs and their allowances...
If a limit of population movement had been introduced that reflected in the size of each country... then 300.000 to 500.000 would never have been allowed into the UK in the last year and a probable REMAIN vote would have won.
The Scots do not suffer the over crowding problem and so voted to remain If 5 million moved up to Scotland cities in the past 10 years their voting would probably be different.
We in the UK now face changes and need to start producing more to export and stop the mass importing of things we can produce ourselves The folly of so much reliance of others now, compared to 1972 is crazy
Immigration can still carryon into the UK but at a much reduced and selective way... 300.000 plus a year is just not sustainable.. Even 100,00 a year is pushing it while we have a housing shortage .. we now have a chance to recalibrate many things of major importance and services to make things better that are really needed for all... The massive growing UK wealth gap while so many are struggling, needs to be readdressed Greed is a destroyer of many things...
We can Renegotiate with trading in the EU and now we have the open option of trading with the world. So things are full of opportunity and less restricted EU World trading ...Things should have moved on in 40 years and EU trading with a favourable system for all members is good, But there should be no restriction on trading with rest of the world at will for all members as well...... The world is now a global market ..Even my Neighbour buys boots from the USA online...
Boris or Whoever needs to demand a better deal before the final Exit and Maybe A bit of flexibility maybe a final alternative offer from the EU if they really want us to stay. But further mass freedom of movement is not an expectable option year on year anymore. for our small island and services...If they just cannot except that, then this is WHY we are at now. Happiness in life is often being understanding and being Flexible The EU needs to adopt a bit of it... ATB
