So the UK government should hurry up and leave if that is what they intend to do, not keep everyone in the dark, it's not good for anyone. The sooner that uncertainty can be dispelled the better.
It's not a trivial task to work on, meanwhile we are hindered by an abdicating Prime minister and a weak student Marxist pretending to lead an opposition party.
Not trivial at all, but surely they must have had some plan what to do in case of a majority for leave? It looks like even the leave campaigners have no clue what to do next. These are the people you are so keen on have complete sovereignty over you.
Not sure what you mean by that but perhaps you are referring to Sweden helping many refugees from the middle east who are fleeing to Europe because of the illegal war the UK and the US started there? Thanks a lot. The problem is that some other EU-countries are not taking their share of refugees (like the UK). Only a handful countries that are helping sadly.
We were already doing more than the rest of Europe by funding refugee camps in Lebanon and Jordan, which is the only sensible way of dealing with a temporary displacement of people during war. It is really cost efficient and safe, and when the war finishes they can all go home without disrupting anyone else and we'll help fund their rebuilding. Everyone wins.
That's great, but:
There are almost 1 M Syrian refugees in Lebanon, 0.6 M in Jordan, 2.7 M in Turkey. There are 1 M syrian refugees in all of the EU, same as Lebanon. Lebanon has a population of about 4 M, EU has a population of 508 M! The 1 M Syrians are 0.2 % of the total EU population, it would be so easy for EU to accommodate all of them if they were distributed evenly, but since most of the refugees only go to Hungary, Austria, Germany and Sweden it creates a big problem for these countries. No country can legally deny them asylum since they have a valid reson now that the UK have bombed the middle east into anarchy and their former homes are war zones.
The insane solution is to suggest they swim across the Mediterranean and perhaps drown, then walk right across Europe, only to end up in some squalid ghetto in Sweden or Germany where they'll probably get raped by some other follower of the religion of peace, and create massive social friction for the resident population for decades to come.
No one suggest they should risk their lives on the mediteranean, quite the contrary, but some do anyway and those who do need help to find a new safe home. I'm certain they feel much safer here than being hunted by the
barbaric islamists that are pillaging their home countries.
What is insane and unfair is that only a couple of countries receive
all the asylum seekers who come into EU. And if anything the UK should take a bigger responsibility than anyone else since the UK helped cause this mess.
You can see some graphs here how unequal the distribution between countries are:

So thanks for that.
Leaving EU won't really help since refugees will find their way to the UK anyway and you are legally obligated to grant them asylum, same as anyone else, by the 1951 Refugee Convention. It has nothing to do with the EU.
If you need someone to blame you have a Tony Blair at home and his buddy in the US, George Bush II.
