Easy to say when there is no chance of it happening now. At least for the forseeable future.
The EU are Federally biased. They will manipulate any way they can to enuresis everyone is in the Euro & want full control over EU member states' foreign policy.
I voted remain - but things such as that were huge considerations for me...they don't like it up 'em Captain Mainwaring

We were assured by leading leave campaigners that no was suggesting leaving the single market and that Turkey was on the verge of joining the EU.
Never understood all of the ager against the idea of an EU army personally. Then again, I'm from a family of migrants, so what do I know?

Let's deal with one issue at a time. Eu army lie or no lie?
Make your mind up. Is the EU a right wing undemocratic quango or an elderly socialist EU? Or wtf are you on about?
You call the EU the peacetime equivalent of the third Reich.
The Third Reich in peacetime set about making Germany great again, withdrawing from the League of Nations, extending it's borders and regaining control of the Rheinland, introducing laws to discriminate against people they thought of as non Germans ( oriental merchants/ Jews ), imprisoning foreigners and using the threat of force to increase it's economic power. All in all a very hard "Brexit" type of policy.
Hardly like the EU with it's workplace regulations and free movement of labour.
No you cannot legislate for stupidity- luckily for you.
We are a long way from an EU army. We are even further away from Turkey joining the EU.
So now tell us what certain benefits we get by going it alone. No vague and inaccurate claims of regaining the sovereignty which we never really lost.
The EU need a common foreign policy. The first EU foreign minister equivalent was British anyway. The EU is/ waS not a foreign body. We were part of it. So if there was manipulation- we were involved in some way.

Nah! Europeans have a history of cow-towing & non-invasive activity. That's what helped Nazi-Germany gain momentum imo.
Had Europe united against Nazi-Germany then maybe ww2 would not have happened. Even now non-nazi-Germany to a certain extent dictates EU policy. That's generally not good - unless you are German/living in Germany.

Britain was a major player and could have dominated the EU with France, Italy and Germany. Following your argument, it would have been better if Britain had stayed. Germany is more dominant now.

What would be those terms? Germany is in the centre of Europe surrounded by borders. Germany has 2 options. 1. have the mightiest army in Europe to protect itself and secure it's trade. Done that. Didn't go down too well. Or 2. be in the same club as it's European neighbors and trade peacefully.
2 works. Germany needs the EU. It needs a strong EU preferably including Britain. Any "terms" would be for the benefit of the EU - which we were part of.
Many here think that Germany prefers number 1. it doesn't.

Well that's the first one dealt with. What's next ? Open borders? Forced joining if the Euro? Albanian membership?
As usual, distorted facts to wind the public up. Now Farage is asking youngsters to see the film Dunkirk. Turning the clock back to a mythical past.

The real arrogance comes from those on here who believe that their 'remain' vote carries more validity than that of the leavers who didn't know what they were voting for.

Yes it is. Just because Herr Bartels and some others want a united military force doesn't mean that it must be 1 army. It doesn't mean that it will be compulsory and it doesn't mean it will happen anytime soon. But, sometime in the future it probably will happen in some form. Not necessarily in my lifetime. He named the countries who are interested in some form of unified military. Basically the same as in CD's post, but in Telegraph wind up sort of way.
Point being not compulsory and no plans for a 1 army solution. More leave BS.

My point exactly. Anyone, remain or leave, who believes their vote is more valid than anyone else's shows breathtaking arrogance. The post, and it was from a leaver, implied greater knowledge and validity than the entire youth vote. Equally if I had just read that the entire vote by the elderly was less valid than a single poster I would have posted the same.

The IFS predict a £20 - 40bn hole in government finances as a result of brexit over the next few years. Are you suggesting we just rack that up as more debt or will there be further cuts and / or tax rises?

Are you saying the government, whose report Osbourne pulled the figures from, are not as competent with the economy as most would have you believe. Totally agree.
Surely the key word there is could.

We all know politicians spout bullshit on all sides. The issue for me is that with the £350m a week claim you had something that had been debunked that was still being pushed bigtime. This wasn't someone saying something in an interview when put on the spot. It was plastered all over the bus.
Personally I can't think of a bigger, more often repeated, lie in any political campaign.
