[QUOTE="Old McDonald, post: 6189346, member: 47276"] The future direction of what is now the EU has been very clear to anyone who, like me, only sees with one eye ever since it was formed in 1957. I have never attempted to keep count of the number of times I have written or spoken the very first pronouncement in the founding treaty, but it is many. The member states: DETERMINED to lay the foundations of an ever-closer union among the peoples of Europe, Nothing has changed and those in power in the EU and some EU countries continue to express their plans for that vision. I can understand that those who want to remain in the EU are happy with what will eventually happen. I am not and never have been. I learned abut this new political being when it was founded. A great pity many more did not, particularly prior to the first referendum when the ballot paper read DO YOU THINK THAT THE UNITED KINGDOM SHOULD STAY IN THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY (THE COMMON MARKET)? thus leading many people to erroneously think they were voting to remain in just a trading organisation. Some say that those who voted Leave in the more recent referendum did not know what they were voting for. I said at the time that people were misled by the original ballot paper and still believe it.
