Looking forward to next Wednesdays vote. Reports last night estimated  TM will lose by 100 votes. Assuming this happens this would trigger another vote on Thursday  seeking to extend  Article 50 for ?months.

Rather than do that, which will only prolong the political constipation, I am leaning toward  withdrawing Article 50 , then calling for a General election in  6 months time which will allow time for all political parties (including New Brexit) and prospective candidates to get all their ducks in a row regarding Brexit.

Any thoughts, what would you prefer? 

I always thought a Brexiter bobble hat didn't suit you; you are much too well informed!

 

I am no fan of referendums and a general election would be the "right thing". Who would one vote for? I couldn't vote for either the Tories or Labour!

Sweden to become a Third World Country by 2030, according to UN

According to UN projections, Sweden will be a much poorer country by 2030, much worse than what anyone in the Swedish government indicates. The UN report HDI (Human Development Index) predicts a significant decrease in Swedish prosperity.
 
A direct result of EU ideology. Forget democracy, Brexit ain't gonna
happen, because they cannot afford any upsets to this grand plan.
Pity we cant swap 'that stupid woman' for Orban.

Debt statistic is only valuable as a % of GDP

UK is 85%,  Portugal is 138%

69% was a Freudian slip. It was supposed to be 60%.

 

We do have a constitution but it is not written down.

 

Previous referendums, that I recall, were to ratify a decision already taken by parliament

 

The problem with Brexit is that it is such a stupid idea that nobody expected that there would be a vote in favour. ALL sensible people think it is a moronic idea and are now trying to square the circle. There was indeed talk of all kinds of Brexit in the run up to and immediately following the referendum. The problem is now exacerbated because Brexiters will not accept the compromise of a softer Brexit. Another advisory referendum would at least give parliament some direction about what to do during the inevitable postponement of A50 conclusion. 

 

BTW, what does Sanemax mean? Is it some kind of heavy duty feminine hygiene product? Actually, don't tell me; I'd rather not know ????. Everytime I see the name I hear Bon Jovi's  "It's my life" !

 

 

 

an aside this, NOTE no offence intended

 

Norwegian far left party, Marxist-Leninist, they commonly did the following when

issues came up for voting:

Step 1, Do we want this issue/resolution treated unanimously? - yes/no

           simple majority YES, ok, unanimously then

Step 2, Now, the issue/resolution. Yes votes please? count count No votes please? count count

           yes:x and no:y, majority yes

Step 3: This resolution is adopted unanimously. Thank you.

 

efficient, yes

Civil servants in the UK are bureaucrats! The definition of bureaucrat is an appointed government official! 

 

The EU commission proposes legislation in exactly the same way as the civil service in the UK does. But just as in the UK only Parliament can enact legislation, in the EU only the European Parliament or the Council of Ministers can enact.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wrong.

GDP is a significant statistic in determining the economic health, growth and productivity of a country.  I didn't think common sense and applied mathematics would appeal to you.

The USA has the largest debt in the world. Next thing you will be telling us they have a poorer standard of living than Portugal.

There are 4 tenets of citizenship...so called civic duties.

Obeying laws, serving on juries, paying taxes and voting in elections.

          Quite right , 

However  expats who have chosen to leave their  UK homeland , 

should not be allowed to vote on UK elections , aka democracy .  

 

   Get over it  and move on .  in your new homeland , aliens .   BJ ..

    800 K  bht , will do nicely . Welcome  to thailand .  555

UK is still in far too much debt,govt and personal you can gloss over it with your GDP figures but its a fact,portugals and the UKs debt are not important to me as i and my partner dont have any debt and money wont ever be an issue,thank you for your concern.
