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....

Hey outers...what part of the globe are you fleeing to when the vote goes against you?

cynic - 05 Dec 2018 13:15 - 10540 of 12628

stan - much more relevant is what do you suppose happens when this vote indeed goes against TM?

do you suggest that parliament just scrubs article 50 and goes back to brussels and asks to be readmitted?
if so, that patently goes against the result of the referendum, however faulty you personally regard that

do you suggest another referendum - your previous comment on this was specious?
if so,that certainly sets a dangerous precedent, and what then happens if the majority still vote to leave?

Stan, anywhere warmer than the UK if outers rights to live in the EU are withdrawn - do you have any suggestions to those of us that enjoy sitting around in the sun and swimming in warm pools best part of most years.

"She is so hardworking and knows her subject thoroughly but perhaps she is merely too strongly coercive and bullying."

--=-=-=--==

Do you mean she is an unrelenting elitist oligarch and believes in her positioning and her right to determine the political policies of a country without regard to the differing opinions of the populace or hoi polloi of that country?

ummmh!

Maggie has been resurrected.

What happened to her?

Dil - 05 Dec 2018 13:20 - 10543 of 12628

Well looks like May paid no attention to the legal advice regarding the back stop. Sorry cynic but she has done a bloody awful job on behalf of the U.K. Feels moe like a surrender than deal.

If we go back to the EU and tell them to come up with a better idea for Ireland or it's no deal then look at the choice they face.

Either we leave with no deal and the Irish border is their problem anyway or we leave with the current deal and an acceptable back stop agreement.

No need to give them bugger all to change it.

Alf will be telling us next that he is a member of UK intelligence.

cynic - 05 Dec 2018 13:23 - 10545 of 12628

clearly you are not!
rules have been tightened since burgess and maclean and blunt

cynic - 05 Dec 2018 13:27 - 10546 of 12628

DIL - you're fully entitled to your opinion, but who do you suggest might have done a better job? ........ BJ perhaps? :-)

Dil - 05 Dec 2018 13:28 - 10547 of 12628

Lol re Fred's intelligence

Dil - 05 Dec 2018 13:36 - 10548 of 12628

Cynic , I'm tempted to say anyone but that wouldn't be true.

Probably I'd have gone for David Davies who would have got us a much better deal if he'd been leader and would probably have done a better job of keeping his party onside and also at the same time attracting the votes of Labour rebels.

Whatever deal we got was never going to be great but the current deal is as bad if not worsE THAN STAying in.

Dil - 05 Dec 2018 13:39 - 10549 of 12628

BJ would have done a better job than May imo but wouldn't have been my first choice as leader .... maybe Brexit minister though :-)

Fred1new - 05 Dec 2018 13:39 - 10550 of 12628

"Either we leave with no deal and the Irish border is their problem anyway or we leave with the current deal and an acceptable back stop agreement."


But some of us don't want to be a backward state like a Monmouthshire backwater and would prefer to be in the EU, and able to negotiate our future.

Dil - 05 Dec 2018 13:42 - 10551 of 12628

Lol , you should have fecking voted then

The Attorney General's legal advice to the government has now been published.

Here's a link: https://www.buzzfeed.com/alexspence/brexit-legal-advice?ref=hpsplash

Cox warns that the backstop arrangement contained within the withdrawal agreement would "endure indefinitely," a phrase which has enraged Brexiteers who say it would represent an incomplete Brexit.

It confirms the government does not have the right to withdraw from the backstop unilaterally, something Brexiteers have advocated.

There is a legal risk that the UK could become stuck in "protracted and repeating rounds of negotiations" with Brussels.

The date on the Attorney General's advice is 13 November, the same day MPs asked for the advice to be published. Hmmm? This could mean that the government had not actually received any formal legal advice on the Withdrawal Agreement before, despite May publishing her formal Brexit plan weeks earlier.

The worst thing is that the DUP particularly, now feel greatly conned. I think she has lost them for good.

How sad. TM can't run the government without the DUP. Yesterday, she lost three votes. without a running majority there would be more and more and even more of exactly that.

Unless the Tories chuck her out and replace her with a new leader we are not going to get the DUP back on side any time soon, IMHO.

So it's either that or a General Election.

If it's the latter, then 'Oooops!' in goes Prime Minister Corbyn for sure. The electorate would definitely chuck out the Tories just for messing up Brexit.

ExecLine - 05 Dec 2018 13:55 - 10553 of 12628

JRM may now rescue his position of calling for the 48 letters to oust May on a vote of 'no confidence'. He was right all along. MPs wouldn't support this in adequate numbers at the time. So he lost standing and went quiet.

This revelation is now vitally important for him and his standing. He really does know what he is talking about. He is a strong Brexiteer.

IMHO he would now make an excellent Prime Minister - even though he has not been in cabinet. Because he speaks clearly and knows what he is talking about the populace could easily learn to trust him.

This fact is the exact opposite of what we currently have with Theresa May. We no longer trust her.

Clocktower - 05 Dec 2018 14:00 - 10554 of 12628

What is now clear is that the AG and TM were trying to suggest the material was far more damaging to the National Interest due to "Secrets" that it may contain, - in truth providing the documents that they have now been forced to release shows that TM was trying to pull the wool over the eyes of MP`s.

There has been a lack of planning to have a Clean Break, and that you can also lay at the door of TM.

ExecLine - 05 Dec 2018 14:05 - 10555 of 12628

I do wish others would stop using 'No Deal' and replace it with 'Clean Break' too.

Stan - 05 Dec 2018 14:18 - 10556 of 12628

Alf I could not care less what happens to TM that’s her problem.

As for all your other retaric it’s already been answered except the 1st informed referendum and if the majority are still daft enough to vote out then of course we leave.

Fred1new - 05 Dec 2018 15:20 - 10557 of 12628

Stan,

Be careful, she may come and live next door to you.

Stan - 05 Dec 2018 15:26 - 10558 of 12628

Oh no Fred my worst nightmare.
