The Prime Minister has said that the government is proving the doubters wrong with its Brexit negotiations, which are proceeding in full swing, and it seems that there is no going back now. However, if there was another referundum now, which many are proposing, would the balance tilt in favour of remaining? Any advantage that should be made as a result of Britain’s exit from the European Union (EU) need to be in favour of Britain.
Otherwise what is the use of our leving the EU? I was appalled to know that we are being asked to fork out vast sums of money, to the tune of £56 billion, as a consequence of our exit from the EU. It is ridiculous that the so called “divorce bill” will cost us so much money. On the contrary, I would have thought that the Brirtish negotiators should try and clawback the billions of pounds which we have contributed towards the running of the EU since 1974, and in bailing out its sick partners.
I fail to understand why are we being asked to cough up this amount of money. If this is the case that we will lose so much, why do we want to come out of the EU? We would rather remain in the EU and avoid paying this much money unnecessarily. The money thus saved could be put to much better use in bailing out our ailing Health Service and other similar projects.
