The Brexit Votes Have it: The U.K. Is Leaving The E.U.

[soulster]

I heard someone put forward this hypothetical question in a debate.

How would America react to being told that it is now going to be run from Mexico, in a lavishly built office to be paid for by the American people. The rules will be made by unelected officials and there will be free movement of people between America and Mexico. The dollar will be replaced by the peso.

The U.K. joining the E.U. happened decades ago. You make it sound like it was last week.

BTW, Mexico is in America. So is Canada. We are all three sovereign nations. We are talking to you from the U.S.. What you should be speaking of is sovereignty.

I see what you're saying, and I don't disagree, but didn't the U.K. become part of the E.U. in 1973, almost a decade after it formally applied for membership by a conservative?
