Every British Prime Minister from 1957 to 2016 wanted Britain IN the European Community.

They were:

① Harold Macmillan [Tory]
② Sir Alec Douglas-Home [Tory]
③ Edward Heath [Tory]
④ Harold Wilson [Labour]
⑤ James Callaghan [Labour]
⑥ Margaret Thatcher [Tory]
⑦ John Major [Tory]
⑧ Tony Blair [Labour]
⑨ Gordon Brown [Labour]
⑩ David Cameron [Tory]

Yes, all these ten prime ministers had good points and bad points. They had different policies and certainly didn’t agree on everything.

But they all agreed on one thing: that membership of the European Community was in Britain’s best interests.

Gove would respond with: "The british people have had enough of PMs.."

Someone on my YouTube channel - now removed for posting abusive comments - wrote: “It doesn't matter what the Prime Ministers think or want, it's what the people want. You respected the referendum in 1975, why don't you respect the referendum in 2016?”

This was my reply:

In 1975, Brexiters (Eurosceptics) lost the referendum by a landslide, but they continued to campaign for a new vote with a different outcome. They got a new democratic opportunity to leave the European Community just 8 years later, but lost that by a landslide too. Still, they continued to campaign against membership of the European Community. I stood up for their right to do that, because I support democracy.

In a democracy, if your side loses, you don't have to give up what you believe in; you can continue to campaign to win next time, or the time after that, or the time after that. Because in a democracy, there is always a 'next time' sooner or later.

It's not about 'disrespecting' the result. It's about sticking to one's beliefs and principles. If you are a strong Labour supporter, you don't suddenly become a Tory or support their policies if they win. You pick yourself up and try hard to win next time, or even to campaign to get a next time.

Welcome to democracy, where no vote is set in stone, and the result of any vote can be changed if that has the agreement of the electorate at the ballot box. Please, respect democracy.

The desperation is the state of the nation. It has never been as bad since 1976 when the IMF had to bail the UK out! It’s heading that way again.

Another gem to shake those who voted leave and now say they didn't know why .They cut off their arms and legs ( metaphorically ) John Donne was spot on when he wrote a famous few lined stanza "No Man Is An Island " A pity so many British read only gutter press..Thank you Jon ....

Fantastic research, thank you. Isn't there a case for extending the list to include Theresa May ("My judgement, as Home Secretary, is that remaining a member of the European Union means we will be more secure from crime and terrorism.") and Boris Johnson ("I'm in favour of the single market. I want us to be able to trade freely with our European friends and partners.")?

BUT ! As soon as the new UE Tax Laws became known. Both they and their Masters said, "We Gotta get outa of this Club"! Or we will lose much of our fortune AND our reputations. As the new laws demanded not only their total assets, but also how they obtained them. That, they could not let happen. And so sacrificed the Nation for their GREED !

It's a disaster, Britain has single-handedly fought its way into a hopeless situation, and it will continue to get worse.
As for rejoining, don't call us -- we'll call you.

My only criticism of those prime ministers on this subject was that the push to joining the Euro should have been stronger. Obviously we had a tough time regarding the ERM but surely that was in part due to the speculative nature of our financial markets

[moshudoduwade]

Is anybody talking about why is the U.K. the most illiterate country in Europe?

[johnwhitcher]

Perhaps since 2016 our prime ministers have realised they will
Not have a job when EU gets its central gov & all decisions are
Made in brussels the best job avalable to them will be governer
(Mayor) of a EU province.😊😊
