what were the %s for reasons to leave? Would like to see that genuinely.......
Ashcroft Poll said:
Nearly half (49%) of leave voters said the biggest single reason for wanting to leave the EU was “the principle that decisions about the UK should be taken in the UK”. One third (33%) said the main reason was that leaving “offered the best chance for the UK to regain control over immigration and its own borders.” Just over one in eight (13%) said remaining would mean having no choice “about how the EU expanded its membership or its powers in the years ahead.” Only just over one in twenty (6%) said their main reason was that “when it comes to trade and the economy, the UK would benefit more from being outside the EU than from being part of it.”
For remain voters, the single most important reason for their decision was that “the risks of voting to leave the EU looked too great when it came to things like the economy, jobs and prices” (43%). Just over three in ten (31%) reasoned that remaining would mean the UK having “the best of both worlds”, having access to the EU single market without Schengen or the euro. Just under one in five (17%) said their main reason was that the UK would “become more isolated from its friends and neighbours”, and fewer than one in ten (9%) said it was “a strong attachment to the EU and its shared history, culture and traditions.”

Seeing as the recession to match the GFC of 2008 didn't happen in QTR 3 of 2016, I'm sure the proposed cost of the Visa which equates to little more than £2.00 pa, and for as many visits to EU countries as you like over the three year lifespan of the proposed ETIAS, it won't cause to much financial hardship.
My City tax on the hotel i had in Germany for 3 niights last year was more than that.

The application and fee is for every visit to the EU. Will be a massive PITA for those who have to cross the channel at least semi regularly. Rude-boy said:

I thought we were assured this wasn't going to happen if we voted out?

As much as Brexit was a huge mistake... This has been talked about in the EU for a long time, it's a "security" charge for all non EU visitors, so Americans and Australians also have to pay it.https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/brits-could-...
I am entitled to French citizenship, but I never bothered, as I couldn’t stand the hassle, plus, up until around the late nineties, military conscription was mandatory in France, and I didn’t fancy an all expenses paid trip to the Central African Republic, or anywhere else that M. Le Président decided needed a French kicking.
When the EU was formed, I could go anywhere with my U.K. passport anyway, so why get another one.
This £6 is a mere bagatelle, IF you only go to Europe once per year, but as I’m over there four of five times per year, (one of my kids lives in Germany), I may look into dual citizenship.
My kid in Germany will have a decision to make, at the moment he has dual nationality of U.K. and Australia, so if he comes to U.K., he may have to pay £6 to get back home to Germany.
If he adopts German nationality, as he’s entitled to, he’ll have to give up both his U.K. and Aussie citizenship, as Germany only allows dual nationality with other EU states.
He’s often said that he’d have no qualms about giving up U.K. citizenship, as he wouldn’t come back here to live if he was paid to, but I know that he values his Aussie passport.

You seem to be suggesting that if you apply for an ETIAS in June 2020 for a trip to Berlin, and pay the 7 Euros for an ETIAS that lasts until May 2023, that should you want to go to Paris in Sept 2020, you have to renew an ETIAS that despite it still being valid, you need to renew it by paying another 7 Euros.
