The Dregs posted:Just read the OP, but why the hell would you have to pay 250 million spacebucks a week to be in the EU? That's nuts. Does every country have to pay that? Greece can't afford 20 bucks for gas. How much you contribute is done by a no doubt obscenely complicated algorithm but it's £18bn a year for us. Some countries are net contributors (most northern countries), others benefit from it more than they put in (basically old Soviet/Yugoslav states).

Here's a "poll of polls" that has them neck and neck. I predict a lot of people are going to vote for the status quo on the day and it won't look much like that bar in the end.

Kitchner posted:The best reason to vote remain is it will kill the career of Boris Johnson. In the UK, "the country" meaning the rich have been steadily getting richer since 2009, but the average worker has had next to no wage growth. Like the Treasury saying "you will miss out on X money" doesn't really deal with the fact that the average Brit has already lost thousands, maybe tens of thousands, of pounds they are "owed" by GDP rises. Like the campaign isn't "if something doesn't change, your family will be tens to hundreds of thousands of pounds worse off by 2030, and you still won't have a house". But it should be!

Roylicious posted:Or you could take the middle path and demand that the Germans stop dictating the EU's economic policy and get some reform done rather than take your ball and go home where the roof is leaking and your ball will get stolen. Enrich corporations at the expense of national governments, act like this is happening by consent (which it sort of is but only very sort of), and then don't tax them. Let workers move around so the most skilled ones end up in the UK/Germany and the dumb ones in the most desperate parts of Europe you can mainly replace with robots and/or pay gently caress all with your mobile untaxed capital.

quote:the conservatives want the UK to leave David Cameron, pig loving PM, is putting forward a case for the UK to stay in the EU. This is backed by the (Conservative) government's treasury and much of the economically conservative world. Boris Johnson, pretend oaf and Tory, is putting forward a case for the UK to leave. This is really simple stuff.

Matty posted:Basically what the choice to leave or not leave should be an economic and legal argument but instead has been whether you like or dislike browns and foreigners coming to the uk and whether or not they are a drain and faaaarrrrt It's actually a (retardedly flawed) economic and legal argument on the Remain side and more of a (irrelevant and offensive) browns and foreigners argument on the Exit side and they're both talking past each other almost completely.

GORDON posted:I remember my religious grandmother telling me sometime in the 1980's that the muslim plan to conquer the world was to immigrate, and begin breeding. Supposedly it was in one of their religious texts. She was WAY ahead of her time. It was a countercultural thing against the materialism of both sides of the Cold War. That's why the whole Nation of Islam thing kicked off, and the revolution in Iran, too. Hope that helps.

Danger Mahoney posted:So the UK was the workhorse (or field boy if you're using American vernacular) of the EU. Paid the most in at a huge net loss, received the fewest benefits, and served as the primary "refugees go here" dumpster. Germany doesn't really contribute as much unless you count loans which the UK was supposed to pay for. What they gain is trade access to everywhere that they'd have everywhere anyway, and a privileged position in the ECB which they basically used to have anyway before the ECB. The question of funding is important, I'm guessing the CDU-led push to keep Britain more or less in the EU under some special framework where we pay in what we did before the rebate (so it looks like a saving of £1xx million a week for brexiters) and have mostly the same rules is mostly because of that.

Captain Gordon posted:tl;dr version: All of the money, and all of the people with any talent left before the GFA was done. The GFA is a symptom of there being nothing at all to fight for any more. Furthermore, New Yorkers got a taste of what a terror attack actually means and stopped funding the IRA sharpish. There will be no change to the UK/Ireland border. Neither is in the Schengen Zone already. The border has been mainly open since 1922 and there is no reason for it to change. e: also as to the "you can't be an EU and non EU citizen at the same time" thing, of course you loving can, there are plenty of people with dual British-American or French-Algerian nationality for example. jBrereton fucked around with this message at 23:38 on Jun 27, 2016 |
