Individuals are not so homogeneous as to reach the same conclusions when given the same evidence. The point is that they are significantly more likely to understand context because it's their job. Of course this is all in an ideal state. Many politicians abuse their power for their own agendas. Many leaders like Trump and Boris tell people what they want to hear even if they are lies and bullshit. It's very likely that they know it's bullshit. They just don't care. They exploit people. Running on pessimism is not the way to do things. There must be faith in representatives to do their job. Edited just now by LebaneseDude. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said earlier in the thread, the worst that will happen is that the UK will end up being prosperous, but not as much as it could be inside the EU. It isn't suddenly going to drop to 3rd world country levels Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody is immune to lying. People will always have motives in doing so. Trying to paint them as all being the same is a gross misrepresentation though. In the case of US politics, Clinton and Trump may both lie, but Clinton does it around 25% of the time while Trump does it 75% of the time. Spot the difference? Edited just now by LebaneseDude.

The UK was the biggest proponent of sanctions, while many countries like Greece and Hungary want to lift the sanctions. Every individual member state has veto on this. The UK was the powerful country that made the EU have some cohesion, every country voted for a large part thanks to the UK. The future of the sanctions and the EU's relationship with Russia is at stake. Putin has already been anticipating this and acting all nice. Why else do you think he supported the UEFA sanctions Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
