      Listen to Nigel Farage. He is full of praise for Barnier.

      In my opinion, in the last 2 years the EU parliament has proved way better than the UK model. The UK model is no longer fit for purpose.

      Just for a start, referedums need to be banned. It has split the country. Short of getting Charlie Brooker to do a Bandersnatch Brexit, people will be divided for a long while.

      CUK will always be divided though.

        Still showing a lack of understanding about the difference between a supranational parliament (the EU) and local Member States.

            The EU will back national states all the way. Look at Catalonia.

              The EU doesn't have the power to interfere in the Catalonia question. Personally I think an independence referendum should take place. But I also think it is none of the EU's business.

                  But it is perfectly happy to voice its opinion on the current Venezuela question.

                  So from all of this we take the following. the EU has no interest in what is happening within one of its member states, but when it comes to one outside of the EU it suddenly finds its voice. Do you not think this is a bit hypocritical.

                    How did you reach that conclusion? Did you not bother to look for the various statements made?

                      In what way is the UK in a bad way? Seriously, this doom and depressive attitude some of you have is totally unjustified. The UK is doing pretty darn well.
