As is the case now, that doesn’t address my question - the post was about government failures (mainly re housing); I want to know how voting for Brexit will improve these government failures.
Rather than an EU one with ever encroaching power, where you can't vote them out. Democracy spoke. Edited by Stirlingsays (24 Oct 2018 9.47am)

I voted out for immigration. However, I can also see the argument for voting out to stop the encroachment of EU power over individual Europe elected parliaments.....A situation where an individual would have zero say on any individual policy, including housing. I've little doubt that a few on the left would have voted out for this reason.....it use to be quite a common left wing position....indeed a variant of Corbyn's for most of his political career.

Yesterday the unelected EU commission told the elected Italian government that their budget was unacceptable and they should go away and redo it or face sanctions. That's why I voted leave, why bother with elections lets save money and let the civil servants run the country.

I have no idea why you’ve gone into any of that. A poster made a claim about government failures.. I challenged it and you actually agreed that it would not improve. The end. That was, and remains, the only point I was making.

Hence talking about why voting 'remain' is potentially worse in having a say on housing does have relevance.

I agree crony capitalism is a problem. It's one of the many reasons why the EU is so bad. The best solution is limited government and leaving the EU. Former President of the European Commission José Manuel Barroso is the non-executive chairman at Goldman Sachs. Former German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder is chairman of Russia’s biggest oil producer Rosneft. George Osborne works for asset manager BlackRock, one day a week for £650,000-a-year. etc etc etc Edited by Penge Eagle (24 Oct 2018 1.51am) So the answer to too much Capitalism is to have less regulation?

Just to clarify here; you voted out to put more power in the hands of the government who have failed so badly? How do you think these failures will be improved post-brexit? Because Labour or Conservative shape their policies on public feeling (generally) and if you don't like their housing or immigration policies, you can vote them out. It's called democracy. UK politicians have the UK's interests at heart – not those in Brussels. You cannot do this with the EU and have to accept free movement and its consequences no matter what. Can you not see the difference? Edited by Penge Eagle (24 Oct 2018 12.11pm)

Everyone who joined the Euro signed up to fiscal and budget scrutiny and agreement to protect the integrity of the Euro. There is nothing to stop Italy leaving the Euro but reality of their own mismanagement. Facing Italy with reality is doing them a favour.

Who votes for Austerity or benefit cuts? Government brings in changes which may benefit one section of society but disadvantage another, same as europe, but it's for the greater good. EU doesn't bring in legislation to spite the UK as much as you like to think, their aim is to unify europe so we are as one and we can move and trade freely. In the main it has been a major benefit to the UK

Italy is no longer free to make its own financial decisions good or bad. That is the price it will pay for joining the EU and the Euro. Italy faces the same issues as Greece did, most governments would devalue their currency to make it attractive for tourism and exports Italy cannot do that. The country that benefits of course is Germany if they still had the Deutchmark it would be far higher and would impact their economy.
