Rolling the Dice

[poliphilo]

No-one knows what the future holds so no-one knows whether Britain will be better off in the EU or not. Every argument meets with a counter-argument and there are ghastly people on both sides. Who do I want to stand shoulder to shoulder with, Nigel Farage or Peter Mandelson? Tough one, that.

A vote to stay is a vote for the status quo- and since I heartily dislike the status quo I'm voting to get out. I know I may come to regret this, but...

...It seems the braver thing to do.

I think this example was brought up in the media I read in the context of the Brexit vote.
It was quite a good example for illustrating how it is with the EU in such matters - they want to get their will at any cost and at any way, no matter what people say or how they actually break the rules they set up for themselves and others.
Well, one cannot say anything evil against that - who is in power to punish them? There is no punishment coming for them behaving this way. The ones usually punishing others for this is them...

No. That is not the way it works.

Get me right. I don't side with that behavior, setting up rules and when they bring you disadavantage you disobey them, but all others who disobey you treat with the greatest way of shaming them for it - but it's a matter of fact, there is no-one who punishes anyone in the Western world if they don't stick to the rules they internationally set up and they set up boastfully for their democracies. The only one who could still overtake this task, if there was no-one, would be the people to live in this countries themselves.
But they're not coming too.
