LOL except they aren't, but really what you are saying is the majority of the UK are thinking of the EU in a positive light. Personally, I reckon the Westminster party and its entourage have set about making such a hash of democracy, that they are trying to make the EU the better option.

Unevidenced opinions are meaningless. They are your opinion only, biased by your desires. |

Never mind the polls, exports are up and the trade deficit is down.
What exactly are you unhappy about?

But then proof is in the eating of the pudding, which I daresay everyone has had a taste of over the last few years. It might be even fairly obvious if you look for it. When one group would constantly hold you back while the other tries to move forward. |

And that the good news is that the UK is catching up with Germany because they are in a recession. The UK trade deficit in 2015 was £34.7Bn In 2022 it was £67.0Bn. So its better is a relative term. Better than what? The catastrophe after Brexit? |

It seems 32% of the UK is alone in thinking the EU is a bad thing, Hopefully this will cause the fundamentalists who still harbour fantasies about other EU members jumping ship if only for company in their own misery to change their tune.
Certainly the chaos and confusion which have been the principal features of Brexit will have disabused any of those on the continent who might have contemplated such a thing of that notion. None of the so-called right-wing populists who have come into prominence in recent years believe that departing the EU has any merit for their countries.
Reform will come before fragmentation. A pity the UK couldn't stay the course.

Vinny's been challenged about his trade figures before but all we've seen from him is more tap-dancing, no proofs. |

Have you got any that support the view that Brexit has improved things economically. Or any examples of how leaving has improved Immigration. EU Laws we didn't want rescinded. Etc |

Government borrowing to accommodate and sustain the 100,000 plus boat-people who have arrived since 2018 will have boosted economic growth too.

It's a shame the same ilk and influx hasn't boosted the Deutschland's economic growth!

I don't believe continental governments are as generous and accommodating towards their new charges as HMG. I'm sure none of them are shelling out £8 million a day (£3 billion a year) for hotels alone.
