Current Affairs EU In or Out

Petition going round for a second referendum

Currently more than 1 million people have signed it

This means it now has to be debated in parliament

Interesting, though I can't see a pro brexit Tory PM (which is almost certainly what the next one will be) authorising it

At the end of the day, we've voted and got a result. That's democracy

What happens if they have another one then and Remain wins ?
Does it go to extra time, then pennos ?

If it does go to parliament and get overturned (which it won't) because people can't accept/ respect other people's opinions this country will be goosed.

seems to be building up.... https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/131215

Just seen that petition, do you think parliament will act on it, 100.000 and it must be discussed in parliment, could be on grounds that both parties cocked the debate up leaving people voting without knowing full facts and figures, those TV debates where an absolute farse

Our unions pre-EU did as much for worker's rights than the EU did.

They've stood by recently and done sod-all to protect worker's rights.

Mate the unions powers have been gradually eroded by successive neo-liberal governments for the last 35 years, leaving the EU won't bring back Union protection.

People that voted leave because they wanted a large cut in immigration ( A view which I hold nothing against btw) are going to be bitterly disappointed when it doesn't/can't happen.

And all its going to cause is even more resentment in the political system

Never said it would.

Might cause them to get off their overpaid, overprivelged arses and start fighting back, if - as feared - the tories start running riot.

Ace, let the country go to the dogs so it can be picked back up again. Great plan.

I don't think it will to be honest

I don't think people even like the political system to begin with

This'll just be taken in stride like everything else

It doesn't have to be discussed at 100,000 just considered.

lol at the petition.

That just sums up our generation - can't be arsed to go out and vote, and when the result inevitably goes against them they think the solution is to sign an utterly pointless petition. Jesus wept.

I really do despair.
