Express launches EU Referendum Petition

I've signed the petition.

Yeah, it would only save the country a mere £65 billion a year. :rolleyes_

Oh wait I forgot, it won't.

It's costly on LEDCs - which is completely unfair. If you support fair trading, you would want out of the EU as the EU is completely against fair trade as it's all about the money, something LEDCs - particularly African countries - lack :/

Trade would continue with Europe anyway, and can do.


Elaborate :) Are you hinting towards our Government still pandering up to Europe for any little thing, the economy being tightly knitted with Europes, standards etc. Maybe all of the listed? Would be interesting to see what you mean :)

I meant a reformed trading standards. :P

Leaving the EU plugs a nice massive hole in our deficit and makes us look a lot more attractive to the Americans (Our real allies, not those mooching *cool* friends at the EU) for trading with, who despite being in a financial crisis aren't actually doing that badly.

Lol, America's Triple A status is being downgraded and they're having to raise the debt ceiling because of how badly they're doing. Although to be fair unemployment figures released yesterday weren't as bad as feared, but America are in deep **** right now.
And also found it funny you called them our 'real allies'. America use us. For Iraq/Afghanistan, for trading, but they don't care. Because they can crush us in an instant - so we are essentially their lap-dog. We do what they want. We may be loyal to them, but they're far from loyal to us.


I would sign, I'm just wondering, is there an age limit? I also want to sign the 'Bring back Capital Punishment' and 'Legalise Euthanasia' petitions...

No they can't. You don't understand world politics do you?
