  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. :Hilarious:.wow, sounds just like brexit. but if we are gonna draw comparisons. and i suspect if you dug further you would find that would only apply if scotgov followed UK spending plans, paying our share of uk dedt but excludes our share of the assets. at least half the population know this, many are also actively trying to conceal it. does it include the lost figures from Scottish products leaving from other uk ports and hubs?
    if this country cant succeed with this in its back pocket then NO country can.
    with just a quick reminder that indireff has nothing to do with old disputes but just the general direction westminster has taken us with no sign of it ever changing.

    9% of the dairy herd
    10% of the pig herd

    25% of wind power

    33% of the EUs total hydrocarbon production
    WE HAVE A:
    17 billion pound construction industry
    13 billion food and drink industry
    10 billion business services industry
    9.3 billion chemical services industry
    9.3 billion tourism industry
    7 billion financial services industry

  2. If there's a valid legal argument, then why not challenge?
    Surely that's exactly what democracy is about?
     
  3. I wouldn't gloat, c n f. The Treasury forecast is that the UK coffers would be £66 billion worse off under a hard Brexit. This is the Government's own forecast.

    That equates to approximately an increase of 12% in the basic rate of income tax to get that money back into the Treasury.
     
  4. Strange that anyone who challenges the Brexit view is anti democratic.

    Democracy is all about having a right to oppose the status quo position.

    Just maybe the Court case will win which would mean the end of May as PM and a General Election.
     
  5. assuming employment rates remain the same.
     
  6. You forgot this statistic :)

  19. better to follow the wishes of the country. the majority dont want it there fore wont complain if it goes tits up.
    the torys are promoting it,labour are playing silly games along with the greens i think by trying to ban it despite knowing a ban could be challenged and possibly overturned. a moratorium while waiting for evidence cant be overturned
