So in comparative gov. we are studying the UK's government and parlamentry system. And we have to right an essay about how the EU and the UK interact and the big debate about how sovereign can Britain remain with being a member of the EU. I was just wondering, since u guys live in Britain (well most of u n/e way) how do u feel about this topic. Any insight would be much appreciated!

Thanks!

i decided some time ago that i would not discuss politics or religion on a public forum anymore, but i'm gonna offer my 2 eurocents anyway. then i'll shut up.

my uneducated opinion, as a non-brit, is that both britain and the eu should make a decision. either britain is in or it is out. if it wants in, britain should deal with the consequences (like giving up a fair ammount of sovereignty). if it doesn't want those consequences, then it should stay out. no hard feelings.

being from another member state (the netherlands), i can say i greatly dislike the eu and i despise the way it is operating now, but it is the route we've chosen, so we might as well give it a shot. it will be a long road, but i think together we can create something decent of this little project. there are pros and cons to being a member state, just as there are pros and cons to being independent. but you can't expect to go halfway and get the best of both options, and i get the feeling that is what britain is trying to do. all member states are struggling to find a new balance, trying to commit to (and benefit from) the eu, while wanting to retain a certain ammount of identity. britain is hardly alone in that, but it is resisting the hardest of all, and currently that is not helping "the cause". so in or out, what'll it be?

allow me to stick my foot back into my mouth. feel free to shoot this post down.

 

As a Brit, I agree with d-faktor.

I have nothing more to say.

 

hey guys!

Thank you all soooo much for your help and insight. it really did help clarify some stuff that a dumb text book (and a teacher who sounds like one) couldn't. I'm sorry if I broached an unsaid 'no-no' topic and will be more careful in what I post in the future. Thank you guys again! ttyl!
