They promised ed it if they won the Election.

The seed of withdrawing was planted decades ago. Various leaders since then have skirted with the issue, but it only came to fruition with the election of a Conservative goverment with a working majority in 2015.

The tories have always had a euro sceptic sector but even Thatcher saw the benefits of the eu.

So the question remains who was it that actually pushed for it?

David Cameron set out to get reforms from the EU during the 2010 to 2015 Goverment, with a promise of a referendum afterwards.

A Conservative MP introduced a Private Member's bill on such a referendum, in June 2013.

Some of the British public were pissed off that they never got a promised vote on the Treaty of Lisbon.

Various Eurosceptic groups fed into this, coupled with a negative perception of money going east to the newly admitted countries, and a flow of migrant labour coming the other way.

The same people who will benefit from it.

US corporations, especially those involved in the pharmaceutical and food produce industries.

Ultra wealthy who want to continue to avoid paying taxes. IE the ERG.

Currency traders who wanted to short sterling. IE the ERG lads again.

Business owners who wanted to remove environmental and labour laws. IE Tim Martin.

The Russians. Who presumably just wanted to weaken and isolate the UK.

2014 European Elections

The most successful party overall was the UK Independence Party (UKIP) which won 24 seats and 27% of the popular vote, the first time a political party other than the Labour Party or Conservative Party had won the popular vote at a British election since the 1906 general election.

I thought that Cameron had agreed to it to get support to be leader and fend off pressure from Farage and not split the party. He offered the referendum when not expecting to win a majority. So, a promise he never expected to have to honour. Something like that?

The vote to leave Europe was primarily a populist protest vote, in the same way as trump's election in America, we in Ireland experienced the same thing in this year's general election with a huge 25%vote for our populist party, sinn fein, what all 3 have in common is that they appealed to a underlining frustration by ordinary working people who are constantly being preached to and verbally abused by a smug superior middle class,ordinary people responded to the simple,vague 3 word slogans provided by the populist parties, "Take back control" in the uk, "Make America great" in the trump election,and Time for change"in the Irish election,

Unfortunately such rash voteing decisions have consequences, we have seen how trump's election tore America apart, it is to early to judge what the rise of sinn fein will mean in Ireland, in the UK Europe have been blamed for all the social and political problems, now the UK has left Europe but all the problems remain and it will be interesting to see who the next scapegoat will be

"The vote to leave Europe was primarily a populist protest vote, in the same way as trump's election in America, we in Ireland experienced the same thing in this year's general election with a huge 25%vote for our populist party, sinn fein, what all 3 have in common is that they appealed to a underlining frustration by ordinary working people who are constantly being preached to and verbally abused by a smug superior middle class,ordinary people responded to the simple,vague 3 word slogans provided by the populist parties, "Take back control" in the uk, "Make America great" in the trump election,and Time for change"in the Irish election,

Unfortunately such rash voteing decisions have consequences, we have seen how trump's election tore America apart, it is to early to judge what the rise of sinn fein will mean in Ireland, in the UK Europe have been blamed for all the social and political problems, now the UK has left Europe but all the problems remain and it will be interesting to see who the next scapegoat will be

"Labour's manifesto in the 1983 GE, sought to withdraw from the EEC.

Right..so did they push for us to withdraw?

They promised ed it if they won the Election.

The seed of withdrawing was planted decades ago. Various leaders since then have skirted with the issue, but it only came to fruition with the election of a Conservative goverment with a working majority in 2015.

The tories have always had a euro sceptic sector but even Thatcher saw the benefits of the eu.

So the question remains who was it that actually pushed for it?"

The media pushed for it for over 30 years with their peddling of lies that over time brainwashed the easily fooled.

I have a question

We all know we were lied to ahead of the Brexit vote by some who wanted to leave the EU. Why havent these people been held to account and punished for what they did ?

I know lots of people who voted to leave the EU have changed their minds now after seeing all that has happened since the vote was held.

So lets confuse things even more and have another referendum to see if GB would vote to leave or stay in the EU now

No point arguing with leavers and blank profiles/trolls. They will never admit they've been decieved. They treat politics and brexit like a sports match.

There are no winners as the result of brexit. Industry and jobs don't care about your political affiliation. The UK will be suffer as a result of brexit.

The cost of Brexit so far is estimated to be £200 Billion. Our contributions to the EU between 1976 and 2018 is £216 Billion.

Cameron put the Brexit referendum forward because the Tories saw they were losing votes to UKIP. People were voting for UKIP because they were led to believe that their struggles were caused by foreigners and the EU. In reality it was caused by the Tories cuts.

The likes of Farage et al are not your friend. They are not typical blokes just because they smoke and drink pints on the camera. They don't have your best interests at heart. Why do you think they're moving to the EU to keep their EU citizenship? Why do you think these CEOs are moving some of their factories to the EU? These are the very same people who advocated for Brexit, and they can see it's going to be a shitshow so they've jumped ship.
