You and others alike told us post Brexit that the EU was doomed to failiure and that its breakup was an inevitability.
Since then Holland, Austria and the now seemingly the French are all about to vote in Pro-EU leaders meaning serious bad news for Britain. We are going to be left on our own, a tiny island - p1ssing into the wind.
There is no doubt now in my mind the Brexit process must be stopped before we are blasted back to the 70s. We are heading for an even bigger detritus than any of us first feared.
EDIT: Oh and to add to this, the European economy looks like it's about to fly. All indicators and confidence surveys very positive. Another lie told to us by the right that the EU economy was on its knees. [Post edited 24 Apr 2017 8:43]

The Corbyn situation is probably the closest, but after the big unions threw their weight behind him, it was enough to tip the scales (plus he was the only one who talked about policy rather than just wittering on about electability and doing down the other candidates).
Brexit and the Republican-Democrat balance in the USA were always very close to 50-50.
Le Pen, on the other hand, has the deck very much stacked against her. The supporters of those ruled out in the first round wil now switch to one of those who remain, with the bulk pretty certain (from polls, interviews, commentators and recommendations by the defeated candidates) to fall in behind Macron - who already gained a reasonably clear lead in yesterday's vote.

Well given polls from the likes of Gfk had Clinton leading Trump by anywhere between 12 and 16pts I'm not sure you're 50/50 para is right Guthers. |  |

"Blasted back to the 70s"? Elaborate. "Stop the Brexit process"?. Please get a grip, your battle is lost. Embrace change and focus your energy into shaping something meaningful of tangible benefit rather than pithy doom mongering. |  |

Done that, I upped and left the country which has on the whole been an incredibly positive experience and one that was presented by Brexit actually.
I care more about my country though than I do about my own personal gain. | | | |

Perhaps not
I can't say I'm overly fussed either way
But I personally think it's not as absolutely done as people think.
Never say never and all that |
Le Pen and the Front National view 2022 as their breakthrough. |  |

So you're not fussed either way whether a significant European power elect a racist President bent on closer ties to Putin! Worrying.... |  | | |

No. You made a claim, right from the off, that I wanted to see the away fail. Which I answered.
Your second paragraph was about how badly the far right have done in European elections. Which I answered.
You seem a very exiteboe chap. Calling me out in the thread title despite not being able to back it up.
And I have given literally dozens of replies to Brexit threads. Shall I just copy and paste them all for you or do we really need another Brexit thread? |
Exiteboe?
Stanley Unwin's preference in the brexit debate? |  |

He or she also forgets that the far left candidate, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, who scored just under 20% of the vote yesterday had a far more extreme policy on leaving the EU than Le Pen.
He or she also forgets that Euroscepticism was most prevalent in left wing politics just a generation ago with it's leading figures being Tony Benn, Michael Foot and a certainJeremy Corbyn. [Post edited 24 Apr 2017 10:21]

Most prevalent?
I bow to no-one in my disdain for the egocentric Euroscepticism of Tony Benn, but Bill Cash, Theresa Gormley, Tony Marlow, Teddy Taylor, Nicholas Budgen and various other wierdos were just as much 'leading figures'. |  | | |
