But isn't the reason you've been let down because you were misled?
If you hadn't been misled you wouldn't have expected a result that was impossible to deliver.

True, but some choices are harder to reverse. So arguably demand higher standards of probity.That would pretty much rule out every election, particularly Starmer's leadership win.

Proly. They can't be too detailed given they are in opposition.
I was more highlighting that we will be making serious overtures before labours first term ends. It was in response to a poster who mentioned 10 years before we can even broach the subject.
Every year on paddy's day we send government ministers around the world to bring companies to ireland that cant happen now unless the EU gives it the green light.

yes, I'm sure the country that is 3rd on the world list of economic freedom is struggling with all those shackles.
The UK is 28th by the same measure. Similar to the economic powerhouse of Barbados

The EU has a whole bunch of trade deals which Ireland belongs to.
Off the top of your head, who are the three biggest companies that Ireland wasn't able to do a deal with?
The geopolitical stage isn't looking good for the EU or the UK
The News I read suggests Ukriane is loosing the war. That the sanctions have hit the EU and UK economy and neither will recover
Who knows what the EU or UK will look like in the 2030s?
Probably alot worse off with the emerging world who own the minerals to transition to renewable doing better
The west relies on fossil fuels and the rest are shifting to renewables
It's just not going to happen the UK rejoining

I think the quote you were thinking of was "loosing the dogs of war".
You don't have to be following (or even believe) borolad's mate to know that Russia is very definitely coming second.

I see the usuals are managing to direct the topic towards their dislike of Starmer.
Someone will be along to call him a cnut shortly, just because he can.

Biden has a general election year coming up. He can't afford to fund Ukraine and Israel
Ukriane has taken back 0.2% of land in 2023 according to the New Youk Times article based on a Institute for the studies of war report
Who’s Gaining Ground in Ukraine? This Year, No One.
Although both sides have launched ambitious offensives, the front line has barely shifted. After 18 months of war, a breakthrough looks more difficult than ever.

The unpopular peoples vote first announced by Jeremy Corbyn? (I've done this one a few times on here)

Joining the EU would likely need another referendum. In that case Scotland would deserve another independence vote, also Wales!
