[QUOTE="bdutts, post: 1219423, member: 29"] Could be. Hard to say. Many people in the UK don't like being given rules by people that aren't elected. My cab driver yesterday told me he voted to leave based on a documentary he saw on TV (probably on BBC but he didn't mention which channel) about the EU and how much money is wasted, etc. Of course, there is waste in the UK government as well, but in theory, the people of the UK have the chance to remove those from government whereas the EU folks are appointed and people in the UK cannot vote them out. The people of the UK also don't like the open borders policy of the EU. In Scotland, we don't see the same type of issues they see in London and other English cities with regard to immigration but to them, that is a real issue. Since I'm heading back to the US full time in a couple of months, I won't be able to see how this unfolds, at least in the same way I would have had I lived here during the transition period. Kinda bummed about that. [/QUOTE]
