Referendum : to be in Europe or not to be ?, that is the question ! (REF)     

required field - 03 Feb 2016 10:00

Thought I'd start a new thread as this is going to be a major talking point this year...have not made up my mind yet...(unlike bucksfizz)....but thinking of voting for an exit as Europe is not doing Britain any good at all it seems....

i'll just live with what life throws at me, and unless finances dictate otherwise, i really have no wish to move within this country either

Expats can vote in referenda for 15 years after leaving the UK. I certainly know plenty of fellow expats who didn't vote in the first referendum (mainly because they didn't know they could vote) who intend to vote remain in the second referendum.

Presumably Dilbert discounted those folks in his straw poll down at the Sheep Shaggers Arms???

cynic - 27 Nov 2018 17:11 - 10371 of 12628

if someone has chosen to live abroad - being posted abroad is different - thus avoiding uk taxes, why should they then retain the right to vote at all?

Cerise Noire Girl - 27 Nov 2018 17:18 - 10372 of 12628

I don't make the laws, Cyners, I just know how to use them. But when it comes to Brexit, nearly every expat living in Europe is adversely affected to some degree at a personal level, so why shouldn't they have a vote?

Manuel,

Be careful, there seems to be a lot of knives be thrown in the Thames Valley.

(Not all of them by tory con artists.)

CNG.

They are probably baaing him from there.

cynic - 27 Nov 2018 17:22 - 10374 of 12628

CNG - exactly because they have chosen to live elsewhere ..... but yes, if the law says etc, but the law also says philip green can abuse the tax system to his heart's content

You can live in the UK and avoid most taxes bar VAT - the more you earn the less you pay and still get a vote, so why should expats not get a vote in any referendum if they hold a British Passport ?

Cerise Noire Girl - 27 Nov 2018 17:26 - 10376 of 12628

With an Irish granny, you can hold multiple passports!

;o)

cynic - 27 Nov 2018 17:28 - 10377 of 12628

sure wish i could avoid most taxes, other than via my pension

exactly because these people have chosen to live in spain or france or switzerland or wherever ...... if you go, you go

Stan - 27 Nov 2018 17:30 - 10378 of 12628

Talking of going?..when are you going Alf? 😀

Cerise Noire Girl - 27 Nov 2018 17:35 - 10379 of 12628

Cyners,

Really, you need to take this up with your MP before the next referendum. Has Dilbert got a date for it yet?

:o)

cynic - 27 Nov 2018 17:36 - 10380 of 12628

now - home to cook some leftover chicken in a tasty white sauce with mushrooms and leeks and a jacket potato

Dil - 27 Nov 2018 20:02 - 10381 of 12628

10370 - lol hils , that fecking thick they didn't know they could vote ??? How stupid are they , sheep up here knew the score. People that stupid shouldn't be allowed to vote , even Fred knew but just couldn't be arsed.

Keep praying hils :-)

ExecLine - 27 Nov 2018 20:16 - 10382 of 12628

".........because they didn't know they could vote........."

Tee hee hee. :-)

Martini - 27 Nov 2018 21:26 - 10383 of 12628

Dil one of your best posts. Well done young man.

Stan - 28 Nov 2018 06:48 - 10384 of 12628

Well this should be a laugh and a half https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-46366162

I wonder what excuses and abuse some of you outers will be spouting today.

cynic - 28 Nov 2018 08:32 - 10385 of 12628

do you believe anyone at all?
mail headline shows clear public support for the deal, so it must be true

Cerise Noire Girl - 28 Nov 2018 09:18 - 10386 of 12628

Dilbert,

Please don't tell me that you're surprised at the stupidity levels of the British. There's enough of them on here for you to have realised by now.

Stan - 28 Nov 2018 09:20 - 10387 of 12628

The Daily Mail? that's the same rag that was Fascist and pro Hitler in the 30/40's isn't it, so is that all you have to quote from Alf, desperate times indeed for you Little Englanders... I think you will agree!

Fred1new - 28 Nov 2018 09:24 - 10388 of 12628

Manuel,

Of course, you can always trust Theresa May and the tories.

Look at their track record and the barrows they push.

A good bet would be one of the funds being started by one of their star loyalist in Dublin.

A vote of confidence for Brexiteers.
