Britain will not leave the EU its a good thing for all member states.. get over it. Atleast tell us why u have such a problem with it dont just claim its a dictatorship. People elect national governments and people elect MEPs these two go on to decide who runs the EU commission.. thats not a dictatorship. THe UK has a monarchy which has never been voted on, We have the house or lords which is also unelected. We are hardly a model of democracy ourselves.

freddage91, well done. At least someone else in this discussion area is sensible. The EU is a dictatorship. Great Britian, out!

so what your saying the roman empire is EU, but have been split up or occupied for a bit. and the frankish empire is french fifth republic(morden france form in 1958), but have been split up or occupied for a bit. no it doesn't work like that.

france and england have defianately lasted over a thousand years. china, india, germany, italy and russia have sort of lasted over a thousand of years but have been split up or occupied for a bit. these countries are just the ones off the top of my head theres probably lots more.

"countrys<-- have lasted for 1000's of years." not true. no country, no republic, no federation, no union, no kingdom have ever lasted for a 1000's of years.

how do u know? countrys have lasted for 1000's of years. ok when u say forever u mean realy forever then yeah ok the sun will eventually implode or we'll be sucked into a black hole or somethin crazy like that, but countrys may last for a great deal of time to come, their not going anywhere yet

nothing last for ever, for only god. what's next? it's going to last for a 1000 years? eu, usa, un, arab union... all will fall.

some things werent made to end the roman empire was always going to fall but the eu has no reason to. i see no reason why it should

every beginning has an end, once the constitution(treaty of rome 2) is pass it will start to fall.
