Ironic.
You also totally evaded my point.
How is it healthy or a good thing to be so helplessly bound to an organisation that many do not like or trust the direction it is going in.
Well, we're not helplessly bound to them. We can leave if we want and cut all ties. It would be a disaster for us, and entirely self-inflicted, but that doesn't mean we're helplessly bound to them. Lots of countries survive outside the EU, as people like you were at pains to remind us two years ago, such as Norway. Funny thing is that now that we're heading towards something that at least looks like a Norway-style outcome after Brexit you're all throwing an absolute hissy-fit as if this isn't exactly what you lot were claiming could happen while trying to counter what you called "Project Fear™".
Here's how it's gone.
1)You campaigned for Brexit.
2)You countered fears of hard Brexit by saying we could be like Norway
3)You win based on your argument that we could be like Norway
4)Our government, after a shambolic two years, comes up with a Brexit that makes us like Norway
5)You lot flip your **** and claim that it's like we're not even leaving because you are now demanding that hard Brexit
The EU referendum gave you a Leave mandate by an inch and you tried to pretend the mandate was a mile long, and shout down anyone who ever dated to point to the actual result and remind you that you only barely won, and won on a soft Brexit argument. So **** you all. Scream and cry all you like but you're only getting what you campaigned for, and nothing more.
