You should visit areas  of the U.K where the importation of E.u nationals has drastically effected the lives and livelihoods of the indigenous people. 

 

Do us a favour, and have a DNA test - you are probably more of Scandinavian, mainland and Mediterranean descent than you would hope to believe .... if you are lucky there may be some Celt in you! Indigenous peoples ......

A " NO VOTE " then should automatically trigger " NO DEAL ".

Sent from my SM-G7102 using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app
 

 

Parliament has voted against no deal in any circumstances

 

 

however I wouldn't like to be the one who has to write the choices......... will there be 2 or more?

 

The thing about referendums is you can influence the result by the choices of question - that's why they can be undemocratic and are often the tools of despots, dictators and demagogues.

 

They should really have a supermajority, but the ill-organised, ill-conceived, fraudulent and ADVISORY one we just had has set an unfortunate precedent. It means that Quitters will most likely be hoist on their own petard

Well then many things are in principal binding because everyone believe something different. 

 

A  problem with the last referendum was that the group representing "Leave" wasn't actually a group....it was a disparate collection of voters who almost to a man had a different idea of what "leaving' meant - hence the 3 year cockup we're having now.

Remainers are far more unified - they wished to REMAIN and then afterwards would have argued about sorting things out.....but it is the Brexiteers who house the proberbial phrase "started it" and now remainders will have to clear uptake mess they've made.

Is it possible to have another "once in a lifetime referendum"????????????

 

Nicola Sturgeon certainly thinks so!

 

Where in the Referendum Act did it say that this advisory referendum in 2016 was "once in a lifetime"?

Yes in law you are correct , the British Parliament is sovereign. But in principal it is binding  the people were lead to believe this to be the case by their slimy underhanded politicians

 

 

"It is time for the British people to have their say," he said. "It is time to settle this European question in British politics. I say to the British people: this will be your decision."

David , waste of space , Cameron

 

Don't be silly. It's not binding anymore than any other promise, verbal or written in a political parties' manifesto, is "binding". Politicians deliberately lie, make false promises and do the opposite when it suits. Just because you like it doesn't make it any more binding.

 

As for Cameron he new he was making a promise he didn't have the authority to make. He was grandstanding because he expected to win and remain. May tried hard to get the power to implement it by executive decision and freeze parliament out. Stupid woman. She then needlessly through her government's majority away in the hope she'd increase it and be able to force her likely crap deal through.

 

Crock of <deleted> tipped up by squabbling Tories and hangers on.

Strange then, that if it was not binding everyone took it so seriously, immediately, including several acts of parliament.

Have another vote but next time give each young person two votes and old people only half a vote. Surely that's fair based on the time that each group will have to suffer the consequences.

Great idea. ????

I dont know if you can back your statement up with surveys etc , however the 2016 voters are now well informed about the treacherous  TM deal and therefore will be odds on to vote out again . As for the stayers I have listened to their conversations socially and many have changed their minds because of the embarrassing performance of TM and her cronies plus the over bearing EU tactics .  In fact when you look at the TM deal on the table , you would assume that there has been zero input from the UK , only a contract written by the EU team . The 2016 referendum was a vote on in or out , not half and half , not a separation but a divorce .    Is that difficult to understand ?

You can go on dreaming as much as you want that a significantly better deal was achievable......

It will not change reality. The EU position was predictable from the start and quite in line with previous agreements made, I.e. Norway, Switzerland, Canada, etc...
