      So if one country fails with something, it means that it should never be attempted? This sounds like “you like communism? look at Venezuela”.

        It’s different because here the Britons got exactly what they wanted in the way they wanted it and now they are sad about the monumental consequences of their choice. Calling Venezuela communist is like calling China a democracy, because there’s “voting”.

          You’re choosing to ignore other countries which has left the EU and focusing on one example. Interesting. Wonder why that could be?

            The other countries?

            UK is the only full country that’s actually left the Eu.

            The only other entities to leave the EU were:

            • Algeria (Once they gained independence from France they automatically lost membership)

            • Greenland (they wanted more fishing rights once Denmark gave them home rule)

            • Two islands with a combined population of 15000.

            And the later 3 are still part of the OCT so they’re still semi members.

        It’s more like “you like communism? Look at every single time it has been attempted (on a scale bigger than a village)”.
