Ursula van der Leyen Interferes again with UK politics

No, its not interfearence in British politics, its not interfearance of any kind what so ever, it is a leading European politician giving her opinion on the future of the United Kingdom. Its the kind of thing that forum members do on these boards every day, we are all entitled to our opinions.

Further more - Mrs Von der leyen is 100% correct, and I have always stuck by the claim that the UK will rejoin, at some point in the future.

The reasons been are blatantly obvious, because the vote was very heavily age biased, with younger age groups been majority in favour of REMAIN, and the over 50s been heavily in favour of LEAVE, and this has not changed, except to say that those who would now vote REMAIN are in the majority, seven and a half years after the referendum.

If the current trend continues, then the demands to revisit the question cannot be ignored, it will happen, its going to happen whether you like it or not. Its simply a matter of when, how far into the future.

Yet we have an ageing population which would suggest a bigger margin would vote leave 

You sound very certain, cocky almost. The remain campaign was a little like that too.

Face it, the remain camp had the perfect opportunity to make the case to remain in the EU while we were members. It failed dismally with a campaign lead by lies and fears. 

The EU is a different beast to the one we left becoming 'ever-more' centralised. Your case to rejoin is now monumentally harder. Whether you have the will to stake the case for giving up the pound and adopting the Euro, or the wit to explain why the UK should join an economically low growth bloc that hermorages money from state coffers, remains to be seen. 

The UK is quietly and effectively diverging where it believes it matters most to the UK economy, and will continue to do so. Now that the UK is out of the EU we're not expected to pay our part into their taxing and spending sprees:

“Other countries have embarked on large tax and spending sprees to claim a share of the global market…the UK will not be drawn into a distortive subsidy battle” …. but will instead pursue an approach of “removing obstacles” to the private sector. Kemi Badenoch. 

It was a direct plea to the "next generation" to "fix the mistakes made by British politicians on Brexit" - rather than her simply giving her opinion on Britain's future. I would've thought that she had enough on her plate trying to deal with the moribund EU that is failing both economically, politically and socially. It might be amusing if she could tell us exactly what benefits there would be in our rejoining the EU. If she can even find one benefit she'll be doing well.

But my point was that it's pretty obvious that the EU is working behind the scenes to try to drag the UK back into their quagmire. I just wonder who the traitors are in our camp. The EU would spend a LOT of money to get the UK back. It's not just that they need our budget contributions - it would be a massive coup for them for a member to leave the EU and then crawl back. The crowing would go on till the next millennium.   

And as people get older they get wiser. It's why the remainers are younger and the leavers are older.

Indeed ,there is .

What exactly do you think will be the selling points of re-joining the EU is say 20 years time ? 

Without going full on with the detail do you think the people of the UK will go for joining a fully federalised Europe  without veto and no opt outs ?

In answer to your question ( as briefly as possible )

The first thing to point out is that a referendum next week would be from a starting point where most British people believe that leaving the EU was the wrong thing to do, and so the really hard work would have to come from those who think it was the right thing to do.

The Changing World - is one reason why I believe a united Europe is the best option

The economic, political and superpower landscape is changing rapidly, in a few years from now the world will be dominated by four economic superpowers, and China will be number 1, eventually India will be number 2, and the United States will be number 3, with the EU been the fourth.

By grouping together, sticking together, co-operating and having the same aims, values and goals, has kept not only stability, but also the peace, as with NATO, proving that working together is the best option.

If America goes Populist Republican, then NATO is at risk, and our ONLY option after that is with Europe, to fend off the economic and political might of China, Russia and others.

Europe is without doubt our best insurance policy for future turbulance, whether that be Russia trying to steal more territory, or China attempting to force its economic aims. 

To secure our future prosperity, I want our country to be part of the European family, a free market of half a Billion people, with traditional Western ideas on freedom, the rule of law, a liberal society prepared to defend what many in Russia, Belarus and countries bordering the EU would like to have.

The people of Ukraine are fighting for their future and their existence - THEM today, WHO tomorrow ? 
Lets be united, because it just makes sense.
