I hope that in the near future they will have the balls to stand up for what they believe and act accordingly, instead of looking after themselves and not serving their constituents. Remains to be seen. |

One of a number of reasons I left. |

Like the Eugene and Gene Thomas case when the crown tried John Barlow 3 times until they got the verdict they wanted :eek: :waughh:............................Or, like when inspecting product using statistical sampling, if it fails the first time try again until it passes :clap |

| 1421962 | 2016-06-26 03:36:00 | From what I worked out a long time ago its not greater integration with Europe per Se that was fundamentally at fault but having a European parliament feeding off the gravy train and making laws that contradict with a countries own laws and overrule them. | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1421963 | 2016-06-27 03:38:00 | fundamentally at fault ... a European parliament feeding off the gravy train ... making laws that contradict with a countries own laws That's a bit petty. It ignores the fact that the rest of the world has the same economic problems as Europe. Look at USA, South America, even Australia, NZ, Saudi Arabia... It's hard to find any country that's thriving The fundamental problem is that we now have a global economy and the rules have to change. We haven't changed the rules, so the world has to suffer Why do the rules need to change in a global economy? Because competition no longer works. Competition is only a good thing if you are competing with someone else. The trouble is, there's no other global economy to compete with. (Mars?) If you continue to insist that competition is the way to increase wealth, you are forced to compete with yourself. Unfortunately, the losers in the competition are part of you and there are always more losers than winners. The result is a few winners (the 1%) and a huge number of losers (the 99%). It's like a family that decides to become rich by the members of the family competing against each other. Instead of the family becoming rich, one of them will become super rich and the others will wallow in poverty. Of course, the winner might decide to support the losers for the good of everyone, but the current rules of economics say that the winner is allowed to keep everything and should do that. Why 'should'? Because economic dogma is that competition must remain pure to generate wealth In other words, the economists haven't adjusted to a global economy. I'm afraid there will be a lot of suffering before they do |
