It took 3 years for us to leave the Roman Empire (EU Mark 1):
"AD 407 – The remaining Roman garrisons in Britain proclaim one of their generals, Constantine III, Emperor of the Western Roman Empire. Constantine quickly pulls together a force and crosses the English Channel to invade Gaul, leaving Britain with only a skeleton force to defend itself.
AD 409 – After throwing off their allegiance to Constantine III in 408, the local British populace expel the final remnants of Roman authority in 409.
AD 410 – With increased incursions from the Saxons, Scots, Picts and Angles, Britain turns to the Roman emperor Honorius for help. He writes back telling them to ‘look to their own defenses’ and refuses to send any help. This letter marked the end of Roman Britain."

Not me. Seems pretty straightforward to me.

I'm not in charge and leaving is not legal anymore. That ship sailed with our civil war.

Texas is a state, not a sovereign nation.
Unlike the EU, there is very good chance the US would invade us if we left. And we haven't had votes showing a majority wanted out.
But I'm OK with the idea.

I am, even when it starts to be discussed on TV I feel like throwing a brick through the screen, I really do hate the word itself and everything it represents now. I think it's the worst calamity facing Britain since The Battle of Britain, and I say this because I do feel we have zero control over our own destiny in this matter.
Brexitphobia? I think I have developed a severe case of it.
That's quite sad really, Raven. Being a person who sucks up all things political like manna from heaven, I tend to forget that others see it as less than riveting. I have always enjoyed the NP+CA forum, and rarely stray.
This is the greatest, and for me most interesting, political crisis in my lifetime - please excuse me for enjoying the ramifications, if not the outcome.
Better enjoy it while you can
In the country you are relocating to, they don't look too kindly on dissenters like you.
One poor sod is going to prison for years for mocking the King's dog.

It was an independent nation before it joined the Union.
Why not go it alone? scared you wouldn't be able to handle the big bad world without Uncle Sam to hold your hand
