I used to think that most sensible people would realise that there are valid reasons for leaving the EU, but it seems as though we all have to unequivocally pick a side.

Re: Bollocks to Brexit
Are they mutually exclusive?

I believe that there are valid reasons for criticising the EU and seeking change within the EU - but I don't believe that these equate to valid reasons for leaving the EU.

She's probably stormed out in disgust at the performance from the ERG. I know it's how it works, but it's embarrassing to watch.

I'm pretty certain that you're not in the slightest bit interested. Regardless, it's not my argument: I voted Remain and would do so again.

Seriously. I am interested. I've spent three years being interested. I can literally think of no valid reasons to leave the EU, and no Brexit supporter has ever been able to supply a reason that didn't fall over when prodded gently.
Whether it's your argument or not, by making the claim it's your responsibility to provide the backup.
If they don't exist, that's fine.

Re: Bollocks to Brexit
Why are we all so testy with each other today? Is it because we're all so depressed at the growing prospect of Johnson winning?

Re: Bollocks to Brexit
There are many good reasons why belonging to the EU does harm to all sorts of liberal and progressive causes. I rehearsed some of those upthread, and you engaged me on them at the time, so I know you know what they are. Presumably what you are saying is that none of the detriments of belonging to the EU are big enough to justify the costs of leaving. I happen to agree, but it's a judgement call, and I recognise that intelligent, thoughtful people can take the opposite view. Whereas, are you really saying that every single person who support leave is completely deluded?Iris wrote: ↑4 years agoSeriously. I am interested. I've spent three years being interested.
