Why UK does not quit EU?

Question

After all you begged to be in, since you are in you are nothing but troublemaker. De Gaulle should have vetoed you once more.

- Allied and loya to the USA instead of EU,

- You don't want euro,

- You still drive on the left.

Why don't you quit EU? I mean it seriously. Air will be fresher when European countries will be themselves.

Answer 1

UK has closer ties with the US and not with EU countries.  Thus, UK has favored the requests of the US rather than the EU.

Answer 2

Please stay in the EU. Britain is the only thing keeping those silly socialists from being overrun by wacky Muslims.

Answer 3

The EU needs England and England needs the EU...just the same as all of the countries in the EU

Answer 4

i never voted to be in it, neither did anyone else.  we want to be away from all that, we want to keep our own heritage.  i hate he euro, its c**p.  the only thing i like about the EU is that i can travel europe with just my passport.  the EU was a c**p invention and should be scrapped.

u sound very hostile about the UK, which is very sad.

Answer 5

Because it is good for the UK  to remain in the EU.

Do not get me wrong, I do not think the EU is perfect.  There is a lot wrong with it.  It does waste money, there is a problem with corruption in areas, it does bring about barmy rules (I want to be able to buy things in pounds and ounces).

But it also brings about great strengths.  We live in a world where countries are joining free trade areas, not leaving them.  If were outside the EU, we would have to pay duty on our many exports to the EU, and that would harm jobs.  Foreign companies that come here to invest, would do so no longer, as being outside the EU, anything that was made here would not be able to be sold in the EU without paying duty.

Look at our economic figures.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cou...

Switzerland is outside the EU and has the 20th strongest economy in the world.  We have the 5th, and that is because we are in the EU.  Those countries outside the EU still have to conform to EU rules to trade with the EU, but have no input into those rules.

The way to change the EU is from within.  The EU has got better with time, but it still has a long way to go.

Answer 6

The Euro is our best way forward. Loyalty to the USA has only bought us junk food, an epidemic of obesity, misuse of the English language, a miscarriage of history through Hollywood, and everything Made in China, plus drugs and gun crime.

Answer 7

I think the Brits would be better out of the EU anyway..... and out of the UN as well (as should the US.)  Both organizations are worthless and sucking the strength out of the strong countries to prop up the crappy ones.

Answer 8

Don't lump everyone in the UK together in one boat.  You'll find more people in Scotland are pro Europe than you think!

:)

Answer 9

Have you any idea what it would cost  to change driving to the right?  The EU Commission is rife with fraud. The accounts have failed to be signed off for twelve years running. I wish De Gaulle was still around to veto the UK.

Answer 10

Because they won't let us vote on it. Its because European Country's want us to be like them that we want out, all they want from us is the 6 billion pounds a year we give them. That's why they won't let us out. We have the most open economy in the world why should we allow it to be controlled by unelected Bureaucrats in Brussels.

Answer 11

Yes why don't we.............many of us want no part of the corrupt European Union.Unfortunately we have a Government too cowardly to offer the British a referendum on whether we should stay in or get out!A Prime Minister that cannot wait to see the destruction of England,he'd probably choke on the word England, he see's the EU as a chance to do it!

The cowardly, treacherous and corrupt MPs will continue to take us down the EU road. YES WE SHOULD LEAVE!!Perhaps you would recommend that to our government,our listening Prime Minister,who has selective hearing,so that we do not bind and betray future generations?

Answer 12

I can't find anyone who voted to join and most Brits want out. The EU is nothing but a pain to us. We saved Germany and France twice in world wars and they have never forgiven us for it. Now they are getting their own back on us. It's time we pulled out and free traded with the world, our living costs would be halved over night. The trouble is the super rich are getting richer through it so will pressure to stay.

Answer 13

I wish we could leave the EU. It costs us too much money and we have to keep our borders open to ever so nice immigrants like you. What`s so good about driving on the right. There you go- that`s something you have in common with the yanks. Why didn`t you go there- oh that`s right they wouldn`t have you. There was a vote in the seventies in which the politicians lied to our parents and said we would be better off. Ha. You make no sense. Why do you live here if you hate it.

Answer 14

The ordinary people would,mate,if given the chance,unfortunately, we are being betrayed by corrupt politicians that we sent to the european parliament.

Answer 15

Biggest mistake we ever made. If we only new then what we know now.But we will never get out by voting for the mainstream parties. Vote UkIp to get out of the EU, and curtail immigration.

Answer 16

when you say we begged to go in, dont include the brit people they didnt know the dirty rotten tricks that was to follow. they didnt tell us they were going to completely betray the country. its strictly the responsibility of politicians and some businessmen.

Answer 17

Am I the only one to see the irony in this question? It is because the UK is a part of the EU that you are able to move freely around Europe, live and work wherever you choose. If you don't want the UK to be a part of the EU then start making a difference right now by leaving Britain.

Answer 18

The reason why we do not get out is that senior politicians can get a nice cushy number (job) when they are kicked out of parliament or usually resign so they can take up the job.

Does the name Neil Kinnock mean anything to you. He who was going to stop corruption in the EU but joined the club. need I say more?

Answer 19

The Average Britain would like nothing more than to leave the EU,The amount of interference in way of rules/regulations and laws that we have to put up with went past a joke a decade ago.

   But,the will of the people is totally ignored by those bunch of self-serving idiots that we call Members of Parliament,hence we are not going to get a referendum on that new Treaty just signed.

   The rest of Europe might well find the idea of living under a un-elected and faceless bureaucratic nightmare in Brussels appealing,That doesnt appeal to Brits.

The EU enforced Charter of Human Rights forced onto Britain,has done nothing except emasculate our own laws when fighting terrorists and allows rapists to demand pornography in jail...as their human rights,prevent us from kicking out dangerous immigrants....because its against their human rights etc bloody etc.

Loyalty to Europe ?

Have a look at  the NATO led mission in Afghanistan,and you have a prefect example of why the Brits dont exactly get all excited about our Euro partners.The Brits are fighting in the largest and most dangerous areas of the mission,with the danes and swedes providing excellent support,Other Nato countries have REFUSED to send troops to help with the fighting...happy to take the glory,not prepared to take the risk.

The Polish and Czech forces are also providing excellent troops....not much enthusiasm from Germany,France etc etc.

The Euro

Why the heck would we want that soulless money,the British Pound is strong and its just another aspect that riles the Brits...your not a proper European unless you have the Euro......Well guess what,we are NOT Europeans,we are British.

Driving on the left

This originates from when people still had some courage and fighting spirit in them,most people were right handed,so you travelled on the left-hand side of the road....in case you were attacked from a passing stranger you could draw your sword and immediately fight back,rather than being wrong handed......some nations lost their will to fight sooner than  others so,decided to ride/drive on the right.

  For every European Supporter in Britain,i bet you would find another 20 people who werent interested in Europe or actually dislike it.

Answer 20

Yes WE want to,but the sanctimonious minorities like Tony Blair (who are always right) Tee-Hee, know best.

And we're being forced in weather we like it or not.

And by the way we were lied to in 1973, the yes campaign was financially backed by the C.I.A. & all the dirty tricks that go with them . And after the war the Frentch wanted to become part of the common wealth but we said NO.

Why should we turn our backs on the English speeking world in which we created, to join a bunch incompetent,charlatans.

Answer 21

It's the same reason why France begged to be part of the commonwealth after the war, Europe needs to be ruled by the UK, all they know with-out us is red-tape and bulls**t.

We have Europe, the Commonwealth AND USA, and it's no good being jealous about it, just climb back in your tiny box and put up with it.

Britannia don't just rule the waves!!!!

Answer 22

Because of all the jobs, trade, freedoms and peace that we owe to being in the EU.  And because if we pulled out, the kind of politician who hopes to get in by playing up to racists with anti-EU rhetoric would no longer have that dog-whistle to blow.

Answer 23

if we`re given the choise we will.

i don`t know ANYONE who voted for it.

the euro is micky mouse money

we drive on the left cos you all drive on the right.

de gualle was a tosser.

european countries can get stuffed!.

Answer 24

WE ARE BEING DENIED THE CHANCE.
