EU Referendum Megathread (Brexit)

[-:Undertaker:-]

In addition to moving plans for an EU army ahead of the referendum, they're now doing the same with the budget. I wonder why...

Politico: The European Commission has postponed its presentation of a draft EU budget for 2017 until late June, after the British referendum

If we stay boy are they going to take us for the ride of our lives. Goodbye rebate. Goodbye independent Royal Navy/Air Force. Goodbye English Common Law. Goodbye veto on moves to political integration. Goodbye independent Police service.

Hey Dan, would it not be awesome if every UK vote and competition was scrapped and turned into a continent based voting system like the Eurovision Then slowly turn whole of Europe in to one country and we can all be states instead of countries - like America and all her states.

A film has been released for Brexit. Looks well made.

That's currently what they're doing. QMV was only recently extended by the Treaty of Lisbon and the next treaty is aiming for political union.

- like America and all her states.

Or for a more relevant European example, like Yugoslavia on steroids. Worked out just great forcing different countries/cultures together.

Follow the money...

'Major intervention' from IMF today. Do Remain have any backers who aren't funded by EU? https://t.co/QfCLkf2Lse pic.twitter.com/sceeUpixmj

I was going to vote to remain but now that we were near the bottom of the table in the Eurovision Song Contest, I am going to vote to leave!
