Post by Ian JacksonMost of us know that the EU is far from perfect, and would love to have
all the advantages without any of the disadvantages. If it meant leaving
the EU to achieve this Utopian situation, I can't see many Remainers
wanting to remain! However, it isn't going to happen in the foreseeable
future, and I guess we compared the rough with the smooth, and in the
circumstances we decided it was better to stay.
And you were as entitled to your judgement, as are those who came to the
opposite conclusion that we would be better out of the EU than inside of
it.

What 'problems'? Many Brexiteers have assured us that there won't be
many problems.
No, "many Brexiteers" did not assure that there would not be problems
leaving an institution we have been part of for 50 years. Quite the
opposite in fact, and it has always been extremely clear that it would
be a rocky path.
Post by Ian JacksonBut if there ARE some problems, and if they are
insurmountable, will we ever 'get there'?
Try looking at it from the opposite perspective perhaps.
You are clear that there is nothing that the EU can come up with that
the UK cannot cope with, embrace or over come? Yes? That is why you
think EU membership is the way to go, not perfect but workable with the
advantages, as you see them, being greater than the disadvantages, as
you see them.
Do I have that right?
So why are you demanding that people who feel the opposite, that outside
of the EU the advantages will outweigh the disadvantages, as they see
them, is an unreasonable position?
Why are you demanding that there are no advantages outside of the EU and
that the ride is easy when you are not demanding that of your own
position as someone who wishes to remain in the EU?
