Perhaps we really don't belong in the EU. After all, the EU leaders at this weeks summit started out with strong disagreements about the length of the extension and in a single sitting worked their way to a compromise that they're all willing to get behind. This is so completely unlike UK politics that maybe it really is time to go.

We don't belong in the EU. We never belonged in the EU.

I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger, traveling through this world below
There is no sickness, no toil, nor danger, in that bright land to which I go
I'm going there to see my Father, and all my loved ones who've gone on
I'm only going over Jordan, I'm only going over home

I know dark clouds will gather 'round me, I know my way is hard and steep
But beauteous fields arise before me, where God's redeemed, their vigils keep

Any extradition of Assange to the US would put me off voting for the Tories ever.

Beyond joke police state.

I'd never support extraditing anybody to the US.

We never really belonged in the EU. We have never really felt European nor have we ever been enthusiastic about more integration.We have never advocated for a more united Europe like France or Germany.Instead we asked for opt outs and rebates.
