Rip I almost pedantically included a sarcastic allusion to Merkel being the leader in my post but have not really got the time. What do you think in reality is Merkel's position and in reality who is the leader? ( no need to go down the smoke and mirrors of the constitution/structure with me...commission, parliament, groupings, presidents, Eurogroup, because you are right I do understand how it works). www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/feb/15/angela-merkel-germany-ukraine-putin-obamaA mix of the heads of member states (of which Merkel is a particularly influential one), and the presidents of the EU and EU Commission. Maybe there's some other big players, but off the top of my head they're the main three. Anyway Rip I've told myself that I'm not rerunning the Referendum again. Ok... May is the leader of the EU. Have a good day

Only 3 days to go. She doesn't have our best interests at heart, that's what this election is all about. She wants to steamroller the Tory view of Brexit through, not the people's view. It's a sure thing that when the winners emerge from her Brexit, we will be at the bottom of the pile. Don't give her the chance. Bath Brexit is not a Tory issue. It is cross party. & that is why we don't need a leader who can't even face the folk of Britain making arbitrary decisions on behalf of the nation. She has, by holding this snap election, set out her stall of put-up or shut-up. She's non-negotiable

Worth remembering who the Home Secretary was who did this. If you still vote Tory you really get everything you deserve.

May may I remind you all... The problem with Thatcherism, fraise, is that you eventually run out of other people to exploit. Living standards and real world wages stagnate. Personal debt levels skyrocket to cover the shortfall and guess what? You get an economy that's heavily reliant on its financial services sector, which, in order to sustain growth, has to think of ever more creative ways to make money (ie. out of thin air). Remind you of anything? Another result of this system is that you get people in work having to use food banks. You get people homeless. You get people who can't receive healthcare when they need it. Who can't afford to bring up kids. You get 20,000 police laid off because money is more important than people. The rich get richer and the poor get fucked. It's an absolute sham and, to paraphrase the Usual Suspects, the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing people exactly like you - the white working class - that her economic policies were in any way sustainable, let alone necessary. They're not, and I'm afraid to say that you're nowhere near as independent a thinker as you like to believe. You've been being duped by one school of economic logic for decades - by Tories and by New Labour. Wakey wakey, rise and shine mate . Every Labour government has left the economy in ruins. Fact.
