EU Referendum - How will you vote?

[unbeliever 10]

Of course compromise can on certain occasions be poison, but as I've said in this country it's seen as a weakness.

 

Yes. More often than not, it is.

Implementing pieces of everybody's policy is frequently the worst thing you can do.

It's funny how it is accepted as a part of political, and diplomatic life around the world. After all diplomacy is often described as being the art of compromise.

Like offering the UK an opt out of a meaningless buzzword in a preamble that has no legal status in exchange for us voting to let the EU carry on shafting us for example?

Yes. Compromise is for muppets.

Words to live by.

It does seem that the art of compromise is a little too subtle for some.

 

How could politics work if no one was ever willing to compromise? You're not suggesting that everyone in a government, or even a political party believes in exactly the same ideals and supports all the actions?

If there is one thing that can be learnt from this referendum it is that people want to vote and our electoral system needs changing so that peoples vote throughout the country start to count instead of those in a handful of seats.
