hypochondriac

As my mother suffers from this, I am also strongly in favour.

Well hopefully you will not use the latter in future and risk putting words in other people's mouths.

My Italian relatives have always been against the Europe and said that Italians in general all were. The moment it was introduced prices went up to take advantage of the fact that people had difficulty adjusting to the new prices. Apparently it has been more expensive ever since.

Do you understand the difference between 'I don't want the Euro to fail' and 'we' (as in the collective we) don't want it to?

WHAT?? You can't be serious, do you really believe that? Christ.

Presumably you will stop with comments such as 'we don't want the Euro to fail' then.

My father shares my views and has an economics degree.

You don't want it to fail. I do if it is our only way of getting rid of it and your comments are just scaremongering about something you know little about.

Seems unlikely in this day and age. People will be fine. The vast majority of scaremongers are pro Euro and that's because they are desperate to keep this project going at any cost despite being proven utterly utterly wrong.

Lol. Terminal decline? Do me a favour. We survived two world wars and we would easily survive this. In 20 years things would be back to normal.

They didn't. We found it at the same time as then but then someone else posted it a few months later and some people hadn't seen it the first time.

It's a load of rubbish IMO.

If it's the only way to get us and other countries out of this ridiculous project then it's worth it. Yes it may be bad for a while but rather that than some sort of European superstate. Short terrm pain for long term gain. I want my ancestors to live in a sovereign Britain and this may be the only thing that achieves that.

Sadly not.

Overall we have been brilliant. Our recent form however is a little concerning if we are looking to get promotion. Why some people have a problem on here with stating the obvious I have no idea.

FFS why is there yet ANOTHER minutes applause for Gary Speed? It's getting a bit ridiculous now IMO.

Even the skates on pompeyonline have been moaning that their atmosphere has been rubbish for the last few years. Fairweather fans.

I love how skates use the cheering Henry thing as a badge of honour. If my team did that I would consider them smalltime and be embarrassed.

Or chaplow?

lol funny.

Self interest. It is in the interest of his party and the meps who represent his party in Europe. When I say self interest I do not mean his individual self, I mean the interest of his party.

Self interest. It's in the interests of the politicians to remain in their cushy jobs, racking up obscene expenses claims, jetting round Europe. That's not just this country, it's the majority of European countries (the French prime minister and his ridiculous wastage when allowed to for example).

It's self interest that means they vote for it and no other reason.

But if no credible party has partial withdrawal as a policy then essentially there is no one to vote for. I'm not voting for a single policy party to run the whole country so in reality there is no one. By having it this way, the mainstream parties can largely do what they want over Europe because they all largely agree on the issue. I presume you agree with me about the importance of the wording. In my opinion it should be common market but withdraw from other ties, total withdrawal or more inclusion. It won't be that but that is what it should be.

That shouldn't be the issue. The question should be very clear with options given. Personally I want to stay in the common market but to stop any other integration but a referendum will not give me that option so I will be forced to vote for complete withdrawal which I do not want but it's the least bad option. Many people are stupid but that doesn't mean we should do away with their democratic rights. Whether they vote correctly or not is not the issue.
