Brexit. Why do Brits want Out of the EU?

Germans tend to "these are the rules and regulations - nothing to discuss"
Swedes tend to "Oh we have to have a commity which will look into things, but first we need a commity to somehow look into whom we should get into the commity and we need a commity...........but first of all fairness and equality.

British voters are biased against political candidates with foreign or ethnic-minority sounding names, an academic study analysing nearly 40 years of election results has found.
[...]
The study, published in the April 2017 British Journal of Political Science this month after being peer-reviewed, categorised names into “British” sounding, “European” sounding, and “non-European” sounding.
[...]
The study found an average vote share penalty of over 5 per cent for foreign names. It identified a steady fall in the intensity of discrimination against non-European names from the 1970s until 2001, after which it rose again to its previous level. The level of discrimination against continental European names has been steadily rising, however, and is currently at its highest level recorded in the data.

Are you Germans any better? Is it not more difficult for person with an ethnical not correct name to get a job?

In Sweden many have changed the applications to have no name, but a number so that it is not known where the applicants come from. The same happened in Sweden, that a person with a other ethnical name had difficultires to get a job. Swedes used to be a fair people, but things are changing and lot is blamed on EU.

Leading environmental campaigners have warned the government against scaling back on commitments to tackle climate change and end the illegal market in wildlife in order to secure post-Brexit trade deals.

Greenpeace, WWF, Friends of the Earth and high-profile figures including Andy Murray and Will Young are among those who have signed a joint letter to the prime minister urging Theresa May not to engage in an “environmental race to the bottom” after withdrawal from the EU.

The campaigners said they feared international green commitments could be watered down in return for lucrative bilateral trade agreements. The letter said: “We are alarmed by recent media reports suggesting that the UK’s commitments to tackling climate change and ending the illegal wildlife trade could be watered down to secure post-Brexit trade deals.
[...]
A government spokesperson said: “The UK is a global leader in tackling the illegal wildlife trade and a key part of worldwide efforts on climate change, including implementing the commitments made under the Paris agreement. Our commitment to both issues is as strong as ever.

“The government also has a clear ambition to be the first generation to leave the natural environment in a better state than we found it while securing the best deal for the country as we leave the EU.”

Poor dears.

The EU referendum was a battle of dishonesty. It was won by the side with the means to distribute the most plausible lies.

Both Britain and Sweden do not require photos at an application. Even if you are a native, your looks might not please the person hiring you.

British prime minister calls for elections in June amid Brexit fallout

British Prime Minister Theresa May called Tuesday for an early election on June 8, saying she needed a fresh mandate to move ahead with Britain’s planned break from the European Union.

The surprise announcement — made outside her office at 10 Downing Street — comes amid political strains over Brexit and moves by Scotland to possible carve its own independent path to remain in the European Union.

“I have concluded the only way to guarantee certainty and stability for the years ahead is to hold this election and seek your support for the decisions I have to make,” she said.

Last month, Britain submitted its formal request to begin E.U. exit negotiations.

Theresa May became prime minister in July last year, shortly after the referendum that set in motion Britain’s E.U. divorce and prompted the resignation of her predecessor, David Cameron.

May also is taking a political gambit.

If her Conservative party wins the snap elections, she will have the mandate to pursue her own agenda as she heads into negotiations as Britain exits the European Union — not the one set out by her predecessor Cameron.

But a loss would throw deep uncertainly into the complex talks ahead between Britain and the other 27 E.U. members, and reflect important shifts in the British sentiment since last year’s referendum.
