British Indy: What Happens Now?

Discussion in 'Wasteland' started by Loz, May 23, 2015.

?
  1. Full Brexit with "no EU deal" on the 29th March.

  2. Request Extension to article 50 to allow a general election and new negotiations.

  3. Request Extension to article 50 to allow cross party talks and a new deal to be put to EU.

  4. Request Extension to article 50 to allow a second referendum on 1. Remain in EU or 2. Full Brexit.

  5. Table a motion in parliament to Remain in EU WITHOUT a referendum.

  6. I don't know or I don't care anymore

Results are only viewable after voting.
  1. When parliament has held a debate and voted on an issue, you are treading on thin ice if you assert that the issue "... was not debated correctly".

    Parliament debates and votes on hundreds of matters all the time, and you can always say that it was not aware of the full facts.

    When it comes to intelligence matters, military operations, diplomatic negotiations, etc parliament never will be aware of the full facts, but that does not invalidate its votes. Otherwise it would be the end of parliamentary democracy.
     
  2. You cannot debate anything properly if you don't know the true facts and are in fact told a lie.
     
  3. Surely that's what the Privy Council is for. To spread confidential information to all political Parties so that the right decision is made.

    In the case of the second Iraq war, its patently clear that Parliament was mislead about the reasons for invading. Frankly anyone with a functioning brain could see that Iraq had no real WMD and it's military couldn't do anything more than decimate its own population. FFS, even that idiot leading (and I use that term loosely) the Labour Party can see that the war was illegal.

  4. And thats why we vote these people in, isnt it? I dont know about you, but I wouldnt want the most sensitive data discissed, relating to acts of war, in an environment that is full of self-serving backbencers.

    Althoug, with Corbyn close to power, Bin Laden woudl have known all about it...
     
  5. Just to correct one misleading "fact".

    Over a third of the voting public voted for Brexit. Around a quarter of the voting public were entirely content to go with who ever won the vote. This means nearly three-quarters of the voting public wanted Brexit - ie the sum of those who voted actively for it and plus the de facto proxies given to them by non-voters who were eligible to take part in the proceedings.

    Only around a third of the voting were hopelessly out of touch with reality and wanted to keep heading down the path towards destruction as we've been doing for many years now.

    HTH.

  8. Or the beginning of the end. However you choose to look at it.

    I see the Treasury is coming to the conclusion that financially we cannot afford to 'go it alone'.

  9. Let's hang on for 5 mins as someone will come along to counter that with another piece of guesswork.
     
  10. Or just give him a drama queen :D
     

  11. We need some multi level marketing going on
    The likes of herbal life and usana seem to be doing ok

    There must be something the treasury can put into mlm that we can all sell to keep us going

  12. I must admit I'm coming round to that way of thinking. I like the idea of a revising chamber but when the membership are party political appointees they're worse than hereditaries and we may as well not bother.
     
  13. Whoops. Someone telling porkies was there?

  16. And i thought non-EU countries were supposedly queuing up to deals with the UK since we announced we were leaving?

    Seems Japan has said that non free trade deal means their companies will almost certainly relocate to elsewhere in Europe.

    Japan's Brexit note to Britain - Business Insider
     

  17. I read the letter and Japan has laid out what it wants to happen while Brexit is going through
    It's says nothing about relocating their businesses
    Japan has put down in writing what Japan expects from Brexit and has asked that the Uk and the EU come to some arrangement that Japan can enjoy as it has been doing until now
     
  18. what japan expects?
    an example of taking back control? :Angelic::smileys:
     
  19. Japan likes being here and wants to ensure Japan won't lose out
