Why bother booking tickets?

The cause is a non-starter. The mild anti-EU feeling from the bailout years was probably the highest we've ever had, and even that never amounted to a will to leave properly (more just the Euro). Not a chance.

Well For a start this union doesn't have the peoples consent,in fact theyve gone about it very sneakily,re-votes on referendums that don't go the EU's way etc,I think the cornerstone of any democracy is people being able to choose were they are ruled from,by who and who make laws for them,I prefer my politicians directly elected and directly accountable to the people.Its getting increasingly authoritarian as they push for this radical utophia "superstate"

I could go on but I'll be here arguing with idiots all day who'll claim that we would still be wrapped in a bit of rag and hunting with spears if it wasn't for the EU "Shur they gave us roads"

If they put some thought into it they could have just used the official name of the Country to get EXIT Eiré exit.

Quite the contrary,I've been doing a lot of reading into the EU ever since the Lisbon re-vote I'd suggest others do the same,it's not the benign organisation with noble aspirations it makes out to be

Would love to go but i'm away on business. It's something we as a nation need at the very least to be talking about.

Right let’s go,

Just because people don't agree with you doesn't make them idiots.
Same could be said about someone with your mindset.
I don't agree with your thinking and you only have to look at Brexit to see how big a shambles leaving the bloc is.
We would lose a serious amount of investment, grants, a market of almost half a billion people.
What plan could you see the government having which would let us continue receiving the countless billions the government already gets?
There are plans to start building the metro in a few years, the eu will help fund this for example.
We were bailed out by the eu, I can't imagine how much worse it would have been if we weren't an eu member.

Is the 2% of our GDP to go to that EU army or is that fake news?


I would imagine that would have quite the bearing on our love affair with the boys and girls in Brussels.

We can categorically say that we would not have the current infrastructure that we have in place if it were not for the EU. We'd have a limited trade zone, most of our multinational companies and banks would not have bases here. This isn't being an idiot, this is the reality.

It's a defence fund, currently neither the US or UK can be trusted in the event of a country such as Russia kicking off. So it's better to be prepared than not.

Being in the anglosphere helps though.

Ah yes, the Treaty of Lisbon, that was completely gutted and renegotiated to Ireland's wishes.

Those pesky Eurocrats forcing legislation down our throats.

It's funny, the moment someone uses the argument of the Lisbon treaty you know it's going to be a terribly weak debate.

The last part of this post can be roughly translated into "I don't have a clue what I'm on about so I won't engage lest everyone realises that".

Nigel Farage telling the Irish they should join England and head into the economic wilderness smells a bit whiffy.

We are idiots for staying in. The EU shafted us during 08-11 and we bent over and took it. You remainers can fawn over Juncker and Barnier but remember, their agenda is not our agenda, and we would survive after leaving. They want ultimately a federal super state completely run from Brussels with regional parliaments left to give that air of sovereignty. I'm not ranting, thus is simple fact. If you want that, fine, go for it. But the EEC went wrong when Delors and his generation took over, and it become a Franco German project not a European one.
