Lack of infrastructure investments, leaving us with one of the worst roads in the western world. And a host of other issues.

          But no, no one that we are aware of had to sell their children to survive, is that what would be considered the break point where Brexit will be declared a bad move?
          Ok but most of those things were actually caused by Labour mismanagement.

          In terms of cancer we do not have the worst survival rates full details here Cancer survival in the UK improving, but lagging behind - study - BBC News also again was this due to us being in the EU during that period? I think really all you have done here is say look a think the UK is bad at and therefore it must be down to something I can equate to Brexit.

          Wage stagnation? UK wage growth picks up to 11-year high - BBC News nah mate

          I could review the rest of what you have said but the reality is you have lumped a load of supposed civil ills (some of which are just bollox) ,which by the way have nothing to do with Brexit, and tried to make out they were the result of all the bad people in the UK and nothing to do with Winky Mcfu<nut and the war criminal.

            You are reading too much into it. I wish Brexiteers were scrutinising every aspect of the actual Brexit outcomes in such details.

            My analogy is not directly translatable to Brexit, It was only a question to establish if you would be just as reckless with decisions when there is a tangible direct impact to your own business as you are with the future of the entire country. Instead of answering the simple question, you decided to nit pick at the details, which speaks volumes.

            All important decisions about the EU future require unanimous vote, if we didn't like any of it we could have voted it down. Simple as that.

            God you are thick, the "ills" above are the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, where did I say they have anything to do with Brexit. I was just pointing at some facts, what happens as a result of economic downturn, which is widely expected (by ecenomic experts, not gammon Brexiteers) in an event of a no-deal Brexit. Sure Labour mismanagement didn't help, but it wasn't the sole reason for the scale of the disaster.

            From the exact article that you linked there is a graph of wage growth against inflation. It's clearly visible how the wage growth fall lower than inflation immediately after 2008 and took 7 years to recover, so it only proves my point.

                Not since the Lisbon Treaty changed all that. It's QMV all the way now.

                  What, this: There’s a lot wrong with this viral list about the Lisbon Treaty - Full Fact
                  Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                      The Lisbon Treaty changed a large number of policy areas from being ones that needed unanimity (thus giving states a veto) to ones that were decided by qualified majority.
                      Which is what I said. We still have some (not many) opt-outs, but we can't change or veto a policy, just choose not to adopt it.
