  1. So, you really, really think the EU is the champion of the masses??
    That life can only get better under the EU.
    This is the same EU that promotes Corporate driven Free market policies, expendable-exportable labour. If anything, the EU is just another political hurdle to creating any sort of even playing field for the masses..be it Tax or Labour

    1. Certainly, yes, the EU as it is, is not a champion of the masses.

      Still, it was – and to a certain degree still is – a constructive field of operation and cooperation for the European and international Left.

      Unfortunately, the combined Left presently lacks the strategic vision to better use the international opportunity of the EU as an institutional actor toward liberté, égalité, fraternité on regional and global levels…… including the Pacific.

  2. Frying pan and fire come to mind. As does fooling most of the people most of the time… Long plank, or short plank?

  3. A Brit over here said that the vote for Brexit was much higher than the slim majority because of Scotland’s uncertainties, and he felt that aside, that it was a much higher pro-Brexit than apparent. I have been watching for ages and looking at the figures, and wasn’t in agreement but when people are sure, how do you argue against them without the facts at your fingertips, and even having a smartphone there isn’t time to check.

    It shows how easy it is for people to be swayed. Someone wants to make a decision and will listen to a friend who is certain. And a lot of energy went into what form Brexit should take, rather than the effects of the divorce from Europe. Maybe the family ties were valuable after all.
