Current Affairs EU In or Out

[neil999]

No you haven’t. If you don’t want May, vote for someone else. Now apply anything similar for Juncker and it doesn’t work, we cannot vote him out and we didn’t vote him in......

I think a big fight would be better

It might upset Joey but it took 2 seconds to google this.
"On 27 June 2014, the European Council officially nominated Juncker for the position, and on 15 July 2014, the European Parliament elected him with a majority of 422 votes from a total of 729 cast. He succeeded José Manuel Barroso as President on 1 November 2014."
You vote for the MEPs.
If you want him out, vote for an MEP that's not alligned with his party.

You still don’t get it do you, if the whole of the U.K. voted either Labour or Conservative with a mandate to remove Juncker, it still could not happen. We didn’t vote for him, the European Council nominated him in spite of the second biggest EU economy not wanting him, the EU parliament then rubber stamped him.....

The people of europe voted for the MEPs who in turn voted for the President
The people of the UK voted for the MPs who in turn selected a Prime Minister.

Just answer the question, who can you and I vote for that will remove Juncker, we can remove May or any PM , but who can you vote for that will remove Juncker, just tell me.....

I answered your question directly. It’s the first line of my comment.

I’m starting to think, either wilfully or not, you don’t understand either election procedure.

You still don’t get it do you, if the whole of Birkenhead. voted either Labour or Conservative with a mandate to remove May, it still could not happen. We didn’t vote for her, Westminster nominated her in spite of big UK constituencies not wanting her, the parliament then rubber stamped her.....

Parliament did no such thing, but at least you now understand that the U.K. cannot have him removed and your vote counts for nothing......

The uk on it's own cant have him removed because it's a region of a larger parliament, just like Birkenhead cant have May removed on it's own.
sheeesh Pete, come on.....

 

[Ruairi77]

There was a democratic process to elect Juncker. If you don't like it, elect an MEP that will campaign to have him removed. If there is no MEP in your constituency running to have him removed, run on that ticket yourself.

Indeed, and that’s why we need to leave, so that the U.K. can vote in or vote out the political leader, which we cannot do within the EU.......

 

[Ruairi77]

Indeed, and that’s why we need to leave, so that the U.K. can vote in or vote out the political leader, which we cannot do within the EU.......

So you want to leave because you, being one member in a group of 28, cant oust the leader on your own?

 

[Ruairi77]

By that rational, Birkenhead should leave the UK because they cant vote out May on their own.

Similar to scottish independence argument then?

Yes. I like my vote to count for something, win or lose at least I feel that it counts.....
