Trouble is, we're a bit short of qualifying material!

For now the course is set and Britain phases a tough transition period which at some point will almost certainly involve the loosening of immigration and movement once more.

Eh? All members join on the same terms as all other members, with the exception that all new members have to use the Euro as their currency, whereas current members that didn't join the Euro are able to keep their opt out.

I seriously doubt that. The days when, after a screw up, ministers all around the world resigned have long since disappeared and I doubt very much that most of the electorate believe that any politician will do what they have campaigned on doing.

I don't know how politics operates on a day to day basis in the UK now but, essentially, politics has become so divisive now that I suspect that no one really cares what the parties' campaigns actually say, they simply vote for whichever party their social media feed pushes them to vote for.

Well seeing as the UK has a shortage of HGV drivers and apparently firms are willing to pay more for drivers with some allegedly offering 57K a year perhaps this is a good place

But maybe really visible stuff like gaps on shelves and queues at the pumps of the places that are not actually closed might be more likely to register with people than other matters that can be argued over.
