In the EU debate.....
Last time the Scottish Nationalists party actively campaigned for out!
So did the majority of the labour party...particularly the left. Tony Benn led the campaign. A certain J Corbyn (then a local labour councillor) was a member of Tony Benn's advisory team.
Harold Wilson allowed his cabinet team to campaign both ways.
These now all want to remain in.
Ted Heath and the vast majority of the then Tory Party wanted to stay in and had a party policy on this. Now there is a big split with (possibly) the majority wanting out.
.
The absolute reverse seems to be happening this time! Is that because the EU we have now is so different to the Common Market we had in the 70's? |

on the road to nowhere in particular |
Steven Kinnock MP is campaigning for in. Obviously has nothing to do with all of his family holding down EU posts. Even though Neil Kinnock was a fervent anti EU campaigner to leave until both he and Glenys got their snouts in the trough. |

It's very political.
The left originally opposed it because they were pro union labour and they knew that common markets meant deindustrialization of the UK to cheap labour countries... The right had the same belief but we're pro cheap labour and deindustrialization!....
So move on a few decades, were now deindustrialised, and we need cheap labour just to feed pound shops.
The left now love the EU because they think the EU is left favourable, the right hate the EU for the same reason! And besides they no longer need it now we're deindustrialised....
What I've learnt over the years, none of them(the ones who gain power) actually give a rat's arse either way about what you want!.
The EU for some fucking amazing reason hasn't been seen yet for what it is.... A great big giant load of politicans who are as bent as the ones we've got here... yet just a bit further away!, the pro EU group hail them like Jesus Christ and the disciplines just got elected to feed us all with 2 loafs and a fish!.
It seems everybody wants something for nothing these days and people just think the EU gives them that!.
It's all about the market you see, you've gotta expand the market, even when the countries your expanding don't HAVE a fucking market, fear not we'll lob money at them to they do....
The only thing i know that they know is..You can't taper a ponzi scheme |
