So, Dave, what's the botom line?

What powers do we want (need) to be repatriated? What would we be happy with?

What outcome of your negotiations with the EU, will satisfy us as a nation state?

Border controls? Our paid-in benefits system? Access to the NHS? Our defense force? Our ability to negotiate trade deals on behalf of the UK and not on a Europe-wide basis? Our legal system? Our ability to deport criminals?

Our ability to have domestic voters in our democracy deciding upon the laws by which we are governed?

There must be a bottom line surely? You can't enter into negotiations without knowing what you want to achieve. That would be mad.

So what is the bottom line Dave?

Remember that if we leave, the EU will almost certainly fall apart. So you have a position of some power. A strong position from which to negotiate what's right for your country. Our interests. Are you prepared to use that power? If you're not, as Prime Minister, who is going to fight for our interests? What is the bottom line Dave?

Why won't you tell us?

It can't be that you're so consumed by the EU project that you'd give away our ability to govern ourselves, that you'd even prefer a Labour government and lose your own job than do what's palpably right for us voters and citizens, by exiting the EU for the benefit of the country and the people of wider Europe who are suffering massively because of the EU.

Can it?

If it is, who's holding a gun to your head? On what planet is it good for us to lose our power to control our borders - the first requirement of a sovereign government? On what planet is it good for us to be 'twinned' (effectively), only more closely, seriously and legally than that 'social' nonsense entails, with Albania, or Greece, Spain or Italy, Portugal or even a bust France for that matter?

Why are we continuing to pay £53million a day of UK taxpayers' money to a corrupt, undemocratic body in Brussels that is doing no good for anyone in Europe except Germany? That has created 28% unemployment among the young in southern Europe?

So what is the bottom line Dave?

Do tell.  

Thanks for reading.
