Current Affairs 2017 General Election

[NilSatisOptimum]

Regulation of the clearing houses is what the EU wants. It’s prudent to have the clearing houses spread over many countries as they carry all the risk they are in essence guarantors. Of course the UK has voted to repatriate powers from the EU, so this will be interesting part of our exit.

That's more then a little disingenuous to just dismiss the 4million plus UKIP voters as totally ignorant of such matters. Do you not think that since they've proven that they didn't all vote for the Conservatives in this election as it was claimed they would that you and others have slightly misjudged them? Perhaps your unfounded preconceived ideas about UKIP voters have blinded you and others to the possibility that you've stereotyped and slandered them somewhat?

Or not everyone who voted for Brexit was also a UKIP lizard (or Tory).

 

[Gwladysstreetlad]

Didnt dismiss them.

Point to me to any part of any parties manifesto that discussed the likely impact, or otherwise, on the LCH?

If they were loyal to the UKIP vision or the party itself I would agree. However it's been proven that the vast overwhelming majority of UKIP voters only used that party as a means to an end. So you'd actually be talking extremely small numbers if you mean the loyalist voters.

Leaving the EU/Common Market was a socialist argument of the left long before the right-wing and Tories hijacked it.

This is political, hopefully muscle-flexing from the EU, but there is no reason why they can't enforce it.

Indeed, but I think even they recognize what the result of them enforcing it would be.

I still don't consider it fair to vilify the 4million UKIP voters. Most of them have been proven to be disenfranchised Labour voters looking for options and returned to Labour once the party returned to it's traditional routes. Obviously not everyone who voted leave was UKIP, they only got 4million votes in 2015 and leave attracted 17.5million.

Point I was making, and used the UKIP reference to underline the point, is that an awful lot of people voted out, or in, based on a pretty binary issue.

Be it immigration, the ECHR, fear of change, whatever. The national debate was an utter shambles, and now, here we are.

The DUP lot on their sight seeing tour of Parliament there today recorded by CH4 news:

Arlene Foster: "the future's bright"
Paisley Jnr: "The future's orange".

Welcome to Mrs May's next adventure.

Watch all this kick off when the walking season ramps up in NI.

An absolute shambles of a solution that could end in catastrophe.

Well done Mrs May. You absolute 'kin weapon.

I get that, but the guarantorship only applies to the margin doesn't it?
With regard to spreading the risk, if you have more centres, the margin would surrly have to be higher to cover duplicated costs including regulatory unless it is held under the jurisdiction of the ECB which would exclude Eurozone countries?

No expert on this, but interesting as you say.

Corbyn campaigned against joining did he not?

I agree that he farce that was the referendum was and utter shambles. Imo it was down to one man who set the tone, agenda and decided to have the damm thing, that was Cameron. He didn't want a logical debate because he never did that very well with that. He just preferd a mud slinging contest which had always proven very successful for him in the past. He is responsible for this entire saga.

 

[Gwladysstreetlad]

That he did, and spent many years telling anyone who'd listen that we needed to leave.

Corbyn U-turn.

Was it? Thought Blair, and Brown both verified treaties, and Corbyn campaigned to stay in.

Might be wrong though.

He is certainly in he ID Parade, and no mistake.
