British chancellor is telling the rest of Europe it must abandon democracy. It's appalling.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The decision of a majority of people in the United Kingdom to vote to leave the European Union is profoundly disappointing.
The British people have decided to leave. It is a sad decision but one which I respect. The vote puts the European Union in difficulties. It must recognise its shortfalls.
Let me be absolutely clear: I think it is defeatist to sort of say we want to leave the European Union. We're going to try and change the rules and change the way it works and change the objectives that it has in order to make it something that works for Britain.
You can suddenly have a series of countries waking up and saying, 'I want the same status as the Brits,' which will be, de facto, the dismantling of the rest of Europe.
It's actually very easy for democracy to disappear.
I think the good old British democracy should keep scrutinising and pressing to get the truth out.
We need to restore democracy and sovereignty in Europe.
Britain's destiny lies in Europe.
We want the United Kingdom to remain in the European Union.
We need to remind our core supporters that we have not forgotten their concern with the way our democracy is being replaced by European bureaucracy in so many areas.
