Salute The New Emporer Of Europe.
If any those voting to remain have any doubts as to if they made the right choice, does this speech help you decide unequivocally?
"In his state of the union speech, European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker went off-script to say that he thinks Britain ‘will regret’ voting to leave the EU. And he said that he wants EU enlargement, the Schengen area opened to Romania and Bulgaria, a European ‘defence union’, a more powerful president, for member states to adopt the euro, and for public money to be given to pro-EU political parties while it is denied to ‘anti-European extremists’."

I have not changed my view of leaving and Junkers speech makes me glad of the view I hold.
Some people will regret leaving. Not everyone will be happy about it. However those people seem to be unable to convince themselves that it will be anything other than a total disaster. Even when evidence is presented to the contrary they fixate on the things that appear, on the face of it, to be tricky.
As I have always maintained, just because something is hard shouldn't mean you continue with it (in this case the EU).
The difference I can see to attitude to Brexit is that Leavers admit it won't be plain sailing but the mid to long term benefits far outweigh inertia and cowardice. Whereas Remainers see nothing but doom and gloom. Perhaps they have been so cosseted they are unable to appreciate that the UK was here long before the EU and functioned very well without it.

naomi , Why is because I wish to retain the RIGHT I currently have to visit, travel, live and work in any EU country I choose with no permits , visas or permission at all. I am sure someone will come on and say that 'arrangements will be made' but an arrangement is not the same as a legal right. I can see a future where,employment in jobs that need frequent travel to EU states will specify that an EU passport is a requirement or is at least prefered to a UK only passport. I value my UK citizenship but I want EU citizenship in addition as I have now.
This is why I wish to retain the RIGHTS I currently have.
