amazes me how Remainers are allowed to challenge and pressurise Brexiteers as
the UK takes its bold step towards independence, and yet are never required to
provide answers to the problems that would face us if we remained part of the
EU. Some Remainers still seem to think that staying in the EU represents some
kind of status quo which involves no risk whatsoever. In reality, remaining in
the EU means being on a slippery slope towards a United States of Europe.
Remainers are so bought into the idealistic utopian European project, where the
UK would become a non-country, a mere region, that they are blind to the risks.
Over the years there have been many EU treaties (none of which were ever subject
to referendum in the UK), each of which has eroded national sovereignty, taking
us further towards the EU’s ultimate goal of federalism. But this European
project is not based on democratic principles. Take the distribution of MEPs.
The minimum number of MEPs for each EU member state is six. So that means that a
country like Luxembourg, which has a population of 576,000, has the same number
of MEPs as the whole of Yorkshire, which has a population of 5.3 million. Also,
the Council of Ministers provides an equal say for each one of the 28 member
states, even though many states (small and large) contribute very little towards
the EU’s budget. With each treaty, Qualified Majority voting is introduced for
more issues which means that smaller countries, and net recipients of EU
funding, can outvote the major contributors. The UK is the second-biggest
contributor. This is the tail wagging the dog – it’s undemocratic and
unacceptable. The EU Parliament, made up from these undemocratically allocated
MEPs, is not like a normal parliament. It can only rubber-stamp legislation, and
it is very rare that it blocks any directive. The directives come from the
European Commission, which comprises political appointees from each country and
who we cannot vote out. These Commissioners have included such failed UK
politicians as Peter Mandelson and Neil Kinnock. It is high time that Remainers
are put under more pressure to explain how we would, for instance, protect our
environment and protect our security, while allowing freedom of movement.
Freedom of movement means uncontrolled immigration which would put more pressure
on our infrastructure and services.Read

Self explanatory title. I abhor that nicey nicey, politically correct, pseudo-Christianity which almost always supports leftwing attitudes - which in most cases are profoundly anti-Gospel. This Blog supports persecuted Christians. This Blog exposes cults. This Blog opposes junk science. UPDATED DAILY. This is not a forum. This Blog supports truly Christian websites and aids their efforts. It is hardhitting and unashamedly evangelical so if it offends - please do not come to this site!
