Europe is being run in somewhat of an autocratic fashion, there really is a democracy deficit. And maybe some of the commissioners have the attitude I described, who knows? But they all have limits on their power, and none of them comes close to having the power to be able to tell all their businesses and unemployed people and pensioners, "Sorry, we're going to hurt ourselves financially because we're mad at the UK."
They'll do a deal. It won't be everything the UK would want, or everything some Brexiters promised, but there will be a deal, and it won't be as bad as the Bremainers said, either.Comment

The European commission has no power, it simply works through proposals and is effectively a "Civil Service".
All decisions are either qualified majority voting or require unanimous approval from the Council.
Not everything the Daily Mail reports is completely accurate.

Originally posted by scooterscot View PostNot so sure about that. Leaving aside the explosion of growth in the zero hour contract sector, the next to zero wage growth of those past 10 yeas seems to me to be a much greater issue. It is all very well saying better be employed than not at all. But in my opinion you've got a group of people willing to move where the work with good standards of living and another group being asked to do more for less whilst watching their standard of living decrease. I know which group I'd prefer to be part of.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment
