Are you fed up with Brexit? I know I am, but just bear with me a minute I will make this short. As I type this, we haven’t seen the details of the current “deal” on offer.

Whatever, whether it’s good or not so good, it looks highly likely to be a loser as and when it’s put to Parliament. So what happens next ?

May leaves or is voted out, New Prime Minister ? Brexit referendum vote declared null and void ? New referendum/peoples vote ?. Who knows. But if we do have another vote on Europe, then what should be the question asked ?

Maybe we should ask ourselves, if as the Remainers say, we are better in Europe than out, then maybe, we should not be asked to vote in/out of the EU, but in/out of the UK .

Why not go the whole hog and give Scotland, Wales, N.Ireland and, yes, even us English, the chance to, independently, be a member of a new United States of Europe.

I mean, President Macron  and Chancellor Merkel both want an EU army. What is an army ? It is , by definition, the land based military branch of a Nation or State. Land based !

You don’t win a war without a Navy and Air Force, so they are next. But what Nation/ State are all these guys protecting ? The EU, fine, so Germany and France and all the other members will not need individual, separate, national armed forces.

Great, now you don’t need individual national borders or leaders. After all, we would all be Europeans. Not those guys that Macron says we need to protect ourselves against, Russia, China and those pesky Americans !!

So, yes, lets have a peoples vote. Ask the REAL Brexit question . Do you want to take the big leap of faith that the Europhiles ultimately want , a United States of Europe. Oh, and who would be in charge ? Shucks, another Peoples vote I guess. Keep smiling.
