Well, here we go again, an election costing a reported £61 million, (probably cost more), for the people to decide if we leave the EU, (thought we already did this in 2016). This £61 million will probably be wasted as the outcome of the vote may be ignored once again.

I, for one, know why I voted as I did in 2016 as the UK is an island and should be treated like one. Why do we pay more into the EU than any other country? I can't believe that people still think the EU funds things like education etc. in the EU, they do not have a money tree, it is our money in the first place. We need a government to work for the country as I believe you sort your own back garden first before sending billions of pounds to other countries.

Our laws, NHS, education, emergency services etc. all need sorting out due to bad management in the past. If you want to live in this wonderful country then we should all abide by English laws no matter what country, religion or political party we support.

The delay in leaving the EU is starting to cause problems for companies etc in the UK. I thought Labour was for the working man, (some hope).

I personally don't support any political party as they all spout about things they will do if elected, many things which are unachievable. Let's sort our own country first and get it back to where it should be.
