Vote LEAVE today

Jacob Rees-Mogg explains why voting LEAVE today is an imperative for the British people:
You have a failed state. A failed state on the Agricultural Policy, a failed state on the Fisheries Policy, a failed state on the Euro, and a failed state on migration. That is what we have tied ourselves up to – but as we tie ourselves up to it we have lost our democratic right. Once it is a European competence, we cannot change the law.

How you vote at a general election cannot change what happens, so the parties draw up manifestos, but anything they say on agriculture is all irrelevant. It’s all decided by EU. Anything on trade. It’s all decided by the EU.

Specific promises in manifestos turn out to be undeliverable because of the EU. The Conservatives, in their last manifesto, said that they would stop paying child benefit to people whose children did not live in this country. A pretty modest and reasonable request, but it is not allowed under European Law.

The Conservatives also said they would bring migration down to the tens of thousands from the hundreds of thousands, not allowed under European Law. So how people vote is of less importance.

In 1997 and 2010, the British people had the appearance of a complete change of government, but they could only change the government in relation to things that were not decided by the European Union. Anything that is with Europe is not any longer our democratic right.

This has a number of effects. Some of our laws come in in spite of the opposition of the British Government. We only have under Lisbon 8% of the votes on the Council of Ministers, which is lower than the proportionate share

We have one MEP for every 450,000 of population against one for every 70,000 from Malta. Again, beneath our proportionate share and more like the pre-1832 Parliament than the one we have got now so we cannot stop laws coming in.

David Cameron has lost every single vote in the Council of Ministers since he has been Prime Minister, forty of them since 2010, so we do not get our own way within the EU.

Then you cannot as a constituent, as a British citizen, seek redress of grievance once it is with Europe. This right of redress of grievance is something that has existed since Parliament first assembled in 1265. It is one of our most ancient rights, but once it is a European competence, that ancient right has gone.

The choice is: is your country Europe, and are you European? Or is your country the United Kingdom and are you British?

If you are European, you are voting for a bureaucratic state. A state controlled by an unelected, unaccountable commission. A state where your vote does not count.

If you are voting for the United Kingdom, you are voting for a democratic, free nation.
A nation with a long history of liberty. A nation where your vote counts, and you get the government that you want. It is a clear choice. A choice of vision. A choice of opportunity. A choice of freedom. Is that choice a European superstate, or a free, democratic United Kingdom?
If you are British and you have not yet voted today, stop reading this, go out, and vote LEAVE. Choose freedom, for both yourself and your nation.

Lets hope the Brits jettison the EU! Time to summon the warrior-poet: Braveheart and for the Brtis to reject the cultural nihilism, bankers, mindless immigration policies, surveillance state ad infinitum and move towards a "nation with a long history of liberty." Too bad John Locke is long gone.

"NIH can't run without immigrants" is one of the reasons told to Brits to stay in the EU. This is crazy. Most of the reasons listed were crazy like "many smart people say we should remain".

Women love government of all types because that is their base of power. Prediction: The UK will stay in the EU with the vote as follows:

Stay - women = 63%, men = 37%
Leave - women = 42%, men = 58%

More women than men vote. It will resemble the Scottish independence vote. British women will be voting for their granddaughters to wear burkas but are too stupid to see it. Unwin and Spengler will be proven correct.

UK Independence Day.

As much as I cheer for Brexit, I can't figure a way that they actually do it judging by past electoral and demographic trends.

Yes. Eventually, just as African and Asian countries gained independence through warfare, liberation for Britain and Europe will have to be achieved by non-political means. It's inevitable.

If you take away our voice and our vote, you leave us with only our fists and our guns to express our outrage.

And won't you be surprised!
