If We Were Not In The Eu, Would You Join?

[TTG]

Really a question for those who want to remain in Europe. Apologies if this has been asked before!

[mikey4444]

Yes !

[Jackdaw33]

No

[Old_Geezer]

It has.
And not a chance. But there again, I don't wish to remain.

[waterboatman]

No

[Jackdaw33]

Latest poll shows Brexit with a 10% lead.

[Zacs-Master]

Unquantifiable question. It's impossible to know whether our economy would be stronger or weaker if we hadn't joined the common market / EU. I suspect it would be weaker but then again, we might have had stronger trade with the RoTW. Crystal ball gazing stuff I'm afraid.

If your marriage was not perfect, would you try to improve it, or go for a bitter divorce?

[naomi24]

^I'd go for an amicable divorce.

No, I wouldn't join the EU.

[Old_Geezer]

You'd try to improve the marriage at first TC, and then, when nothing much improves, have the sense to know when you are wasting your time and call it a day.

[Svejk]

^Before they empty your bank account.

The bookies have "remain" as strong favourites to win.

[lindapalmara]

Absolutely not. Just had a large placard put in our garden saying Vote Leave. This was just after we had delivered 300 leaflets in our two small villages. Our local MP is a passionate Brexiter and as no money was available for this he paid for 22,000 leaflets to be printed and delivered to constituents. We are not activists but we're so impressed by the leaflet that we rang and offered our services.

Yes Linda, the Brexiters did not have the full tax payer funded machine to use.

[ladybirder]

NO.

[Baldric]

No I most certainly would not, why would I want to hand control of the UK to a bunch of unelected bureaucrats in another Country?
Sadly there are some on here who seem happy to do so, and I regard their views as treasonous.

[jourdain2]

This is the question I ask people.

[jourdain2]

'No', by the way. I regret voting for the Common Market.

[Khandro]

No, but these people would, another reason to hoppit;
"Turkey and the Balkan states of Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia and Albania are now waiting in line to join the EU.
The EU has now promised to "re-energise" Turkey’s bid to join in return for helping to deal with the ongoing migrant crisis.
Turkey, which has 75 million citizens, first applied to join what was then the European Economic Community back in 1987.
Serbia has been given the green light from Brussels to formally start negotiations as part of its bid to join the EU by 2020."

Is there any need to point out the economic disparity between these states and that of the UK? Angela Merkel has been visiting them all recently and encouraging them to proceed. The woman is certifiable, and so would we be if we remain.
