Who do you want to elect after we leave then? 

A Government that fairly redistributes wealth throughput the U.K., I only have one vote, the Majority will rule, that’s Democracy 

Or it used to be

What is a “fair” distribution? The wealth generated in London being redistributed to prop up the regions? Or wealth being spent where it is generated (and London therefore keeping a huge amount to spend on itself)?

Sadly, life isn't fair.

I’d love to but I’m on holiday. 

Nothing in town worth watching at the moment - give it a few months and Three Sisters by Malay theatre is in - that’s worth the money.

That’s a cop out, even for you. 

I’ll rephrase if it helps. If you held the purse strings, would you redistribute the wealth that London generates to the poorer regions, or would you rather each region gets to spend what that region generates?

Q1, Is London part of the U.K.?

If your answer to Q1 is yes, then the wealth created in all regions of the U.K. should be used wisely by the ELECTED Government of the UK

If your answer to Q1 is no, I await your supplementary question

It's not an easy question, I certainly don't think the South East should be propping up other parts of the country - fuck 'em, if they can't stand on their own two feet, then they need to work it out for themselves, and stop waiting for handouts from Central government. As it stands, I think it's clear that the South East gets far more investment than other parts of the UK, and no way will that change if we're in or out of the EU - I'd suggest that once we leave, the poorer areas will get even less than they do now, as they won't get the benefits of EU grants, the South East will continue to, quite rightly, look after itself

If you expect areas to "stand alone" then they should be able to govern themselves and manage their own budgets. The North and Midlands and North East contain run down areas because of central government. You cannot stand alone when you haven't the ability to do so.

no surprises in that really, although to be fair, I suspect even the majority of people who want to leave the EU think Nigel is a cunt as well, he's a proven liar, who is clearly in it for himself, and always has been

Anyone who thinks that he is a liar but still votes for him is a cretin.

[Salford Trotter]

And to think that one of the reasons brexiteers want out of the EU because of all the so called 'murky dealings' of the EU elite yet the man they worship has his snout in the trough with the rest of them, you couldn't make it up!

Is there any politician that you don't think is a liar ?
