UK should withdraw from the EU, europe politics

Time we withdrew from The European Union

Treaty of Rome

Tell us what you think about The European Union and how it affects Britain today. Do you think that it has had its day and that it is now time to withdraw? Please read the article before joining in the discussion.



Is it time we withdrew from the Treaty of Rome (The European Union). When we were originally asked to vote in a referendum the question was whether we wished to remain, not to join as is wrongly thought.

16-3-2008"Earlier this month, the pair admitted possessing skimming equipment with intent to commit fraud. Tanese, who had previously been deported from Britain, was jailed for a year and Filip for six months. The judge said he could not recommend deportation as Romania was now in the EU and their sente...moreMikeP
06-3-2008They have always done what they want. Democracy, what a laugh, the freedom of speech but it won't get you anywhere. When was the last time you were ever consulted over anything such as building a dome in London at a staggering cost? No more voting for me for this is just wasting a couple ...moreNige
05-3-2008So I shan't ever vote Liberal again, if my vote's not good enough for the treaty its not good enough to give to a politician. A common market was a sensible idea, a superstate - no way. Snouts in the EU trough mean more to politicians than what the people of the UK want.Disgusted
05-3-2008I thought the whole idea of democracy was for us to vote in those that would speak for us. Just heard on the news that us, the voters, will not have a say in EU policies for Britain. Oh well, that's me never voting again.Cammy Cramjuice
05-3-2008An EU trading zone makes a lot of sense and we should certainly be part of that. However, I have no wish to be part of an EU super-state with shared policies. Also, I do not wish my taxes to support foreign states whose sole reason for pursuing EU membership is the amount of cash they will receive ...moreDeliverance

18-7-2007Borders are a creation that never had the right to exist. A creation of gangs, who want to control an area. They are the single most harmful, government, obstacle to the free market ever created. The same way, currency, is not something for nationalists to play and see their heads on, rather an o...moreSeN
11-6-2007So do you think that joining the EU is a good thing, I mean progress? Think again. They want complete control of the people, complete control by means of tax rises. SuperBambinoCattivoSuperBambinoCattivo
11-6-2007Sure we can withdraw from the European Union, but then we would have to apply to join the Indian sub-continent free market, which would have to combine with Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, South Africa, and Mozambique. Other former Commonwealth nations may apply to join up. ...moreRupyakam grubber
11-6-2007The original idea of a union was good with all European countries having a common objective: no more wars. And the people that started it all were surely good people. Now we see most of the europeans impoverished and fighting to make ends meet at the end of each month - what a disgrace. Mr Romano...moreSuperBambinoCattivo
27-2-2007It's time we withdrew unilaterally from hosting the Olympic Games. At an estimated £9 billion who's going to pay for it? As an "investment" which you are going to have pay for in your taxes, council taxes, lottery grants, whatever are you going to see one penny return personal...moreAnti-Olympean
20-1-2007Most would rather watch Big Brother on TV, getting all stirred up over some perceived racism, that damned word again, than get off their backsides and try to do something contructive to stop this relentless monster. My only hope is that my kids get out of this country before they put restrictions o...moreOUT NOW
