Oh, and you're damned right, it's a mighty long list
these ramifications are the cornerstone of the remain / 2nd election people though...
yet time and time again its rants about Boris, union jacks, the end of the tory party and vague threats about financial meltdown.. ...and no real answer...
truth be told if any of these ramifications could be proved there would be overwhelming demands from the public and our government for a rethink 2nd vote...there is not.
nobody knows, wild guesses counter guesses ..predictions and counter predictions, promises and counter promises..people took sides ..voted..and the losers havent accepted it..

True.
Remainers like me have also been much maligned. I think being part of the EU has/had (not sure what tense to use!) significant challenges and just because we wanted to remain did not mean that we were happy with the situation.
Anyway, in or out we do need a strong Europe.

I don't know what Wales (outside of the UK) would look like in the EU. It's a theory and certainly one that is worth exploring but the reality is we are a million miles away from that ever happening.
With regards to what the EU has done for Wales, I think you are confusing the EU vs the central UK government vs the Assembly government. One could argue they have all failed Wales. However, I worked on EU projects in Wales for many years and the EU grants (to objective 1 and 2 areas) certainly helped retain jobs, increase innovation and help improve the infrastructure... usually through partnerships with the WAG and previously the WDA.
So I am less cynical about how the EU helped Wales than you are.
Saying that, if the EU had not been there funding these activities, maybe the centra; UK government or the Welsh Assembly would have been there to do this work.. and maybe more... who knows. That's speculative at this stage.
Whatever the rights or wrongs of leaving the EU we can all agree that the Tories are completely incompetent to deliver a decent brexit for the country. By the way I am not saying that Labour would be better!

This is the typical Leaver stance....not so much head in the sand but stubbornness. You've actually just confirmed my pitch because all recent opinion polls show the trend for a growing number of people wanting a third vote. This is such a monumental economic and political project for the country which could lead to catastrophic consequences it certainly shouldn't have been left to a simple majority vote to decide. But I guess you won so what the hell do you care. To the victor the spoils and the devil take the hindmost.

Wales has been in the EU, or at least what we were lied to and told was a Common Market, for 40 odd years. How’s the Welsh economy done, education, health, transport and infrastructure. Fekk me you’d think the EU has turned Wales into an industrial powerhouse. The EU has failed the U.K. and Wales most of all but you stick to banal, meaningless, senseless bollox like Wales in a strong EU. Like Blair’s tough on crime tough on the causes of crime, or education education education. Empty sound bites lapped up by idiots withthe attention span of a Ganga tokin goldfish.
Wales in a strong EU please and not governed by Westminster. ASAP

It was very premature. There should have been at least 3 years investigations as to the ramifications and what likely deals we could strike on the different negotiation items before the vote. Then I feel people would have been better informed. As it happens people voted with very little information (from both sides) which of course opened the door to emotional media manipulation.
Also, even if Brexit is, in the long term, right for the country, we have completely incompetent people trying to strike deals which they are not equipped or skilled to do. Eventually the EU will tell us to just f**k off and make decisions for us.
The conservatives and Labour are completely incompetent.
Let's be frank, it's a clusterfuck.
These ramifications are all a load of nonsense anyway because nobody can predict these sorts of things, seeing it now with "this is how much worse off we will be in certain scenarios" but it has too many factors attached to it to be believable.
for me the core principle should be, should we be a country who stands on our own but still deals with europe, or should we be involved in a united europe where collective decisions are made for everyone. and then we can just go from there
There should have been more due diligence. For example, discussions with NI and ROI about the border should have taken place, now it seems surprising that its a contentious issue, made worse by the Tories bribing the DUP to join a coalition. Like I said, clusterfuck.
But yeah I agree with your last point.
Good response and for me it would be a collective Europe every time. With loons like Trump and menaces like Putin around this is no time to ditch our friends. I work on the united we stand principle.
We are leaving the eu not nato or europe ffs you speak some tosh
Ah you're right but it's the EU that's key to peace, not relying on that thick piece of shit Trump. NATO with him involved is dead in the water.
Yes the EU kept everyone safe in the Balkans.
Why should the Yanks subsidise everyone else inNATO, the agreement was for members to spend 2% of GDP on defence, the majority have failed to do this.
