    There is no contradiction here either, it is perfectly reasonable to think that one union is beneficial to you and another not or no longer is.

    Nobody is saying that there is "irony" in Ukraine wanting to leave the USSR and later wanting to join the EU?
    Using Ukraine is a classic example of a strawman. You're comparing a dictatorship with a democratic institution. You cannot directly relate leaving the UK/joining the EU to what you have proposed.

    As for Wales, we currently have more representation in the UK Parliament than we would in the EU Parliament, so I'm not really sure we'd be better off or have as much of a voice as we have now. We've also seen the cluster**** that's the Northern Ireland protocol...imagine what would happen if the rump UK didn't have to cater for both sides (which is the case for Wales as we don't have 17th century sectarian lines throughout our society)

    I wasn't convinced leaving the EU was sensible and I'm not convinced leaving the UK would be either.

      Yes. What is your point? In the past 20 years we've had the financial crash and Covid. Is there any wonder the debt has risen. The deficit is now starting to come down so in real terms the debt will fall.

      I always thought the left were happy for government borrowing if it meant better benefits and services. during Covid this current Tory government actually went centre left on us with the free money they were giving away.

      Your comments go to show its not about borrowing etc, its about being against the politics of your adversary.
