Current Affairs EU In or Out

Must be said the petition is badly kopite

Just heard on the radio that the petition has now reached 2 million signatures, so the reasoning is that because of the high turnout the margin of the leave vote wasn't big enough?

What happens then if another referendum is called, the voter turnout is similar to this one, but remain win this time, with a margin similar to the vote leave, does it then go to another vote, and then to another vote until someone hits the magic number.

There is absolutely no chance of a second referendum. Not even half of 1%. We all just need to hope that what the remain camp were saying about the economy was just scaremongering.

Which is why mostly foreigners have signed it.

The petition calls for a 60% vote on a turnout of 75%. So very close to an absolute majority of those registered to vote.

You have not stuck to the point. Negotiations on future trade agreements have not even been started. How can you possibly begin to comment about them?

You cannot make a personal assertion a fact, when that assertion is groundless 100%. It is akin to stating now that Everton will win the Premiership next season, fact. Not sustainable or tenable at all...

Do you think better trade deals will be achieved than we have now? And if so what is your reasoning?

If Remain had won by the margin Leave did , Leave campaigners wouldn't have shut up and got over it...

Think remain and leave voters both need to shut up mate and get over it, I know that should be easier for the out voters because they won, but a lot of them are still talking gibberish.

I voted remain.

Not having a pop at you by the way mate.

Here's a view from the continent:



Maybe not as bad as we thought...

Superb!

Nobody knows the future, so that means we just don't even bother to consider it seems to be his response to any economic consequences.

How could people fall for the lies.

Good read that.

So are we suggesting that if your not part of the EU your doomed

Doom mongering because we've released ourselves from the grip of the NWO's single currency and state plan!!

270k of them are Angela Merkel and her multis

I am hoping there will be a more solid argument than that!

Digby Jones former head of the CBI thinks the working class have worked it up the EU bureaucrats the merchant bankers etc
he is confident that it will settle down, and business will grow and the future looks bright -
Our economy will flourish in the next 5 years and beyond he was claiming he knew of medium sized business who have been fined by the EU for breaking their regulations on EU trade agreements because they traded outside th EU without costly permission, also even big exporters like JCB had problems trading worldwide because of the same silly EU regulations, on immigration he feels a points system would work and be fairer as we would prosper even more!

Look at the post immediately below yours. Humorous or not, that's an imposition upon which we had no say, for starters.

However, you could do your own research. For example, look in here: https://fullfact.org/europe/uk-law-what-proportion-influenced-eu/
Quote:
"It’s more meaningful to look at specific sectors and areas of law.
In agriculture, fisheries, external trade, and the environment, it’s fair to say that EU legislation and policy is indeed the main driver of UK law and policy, although the UK retains some freedom of action in these areas.
In other important areas—for example, welfare and social security, education, criminal law, family law and the NHS—the direct influence of the EU is far more limited
"An estimated 13% of Acts and Statutory Instrumentshave an EU influence, whereas that rises to 62% when EU regulations are included in addition to Acts and Statutory Instruments."

Try this as well: http://openeurope.org.uk/intelligence/britain-and-the-eu/top-100-eu-rules-cost-britain-33-3bn/
"Taking the regulations individually, the impact assessments show that Ministers signed off at least 26 of the top 100 EU-derived regulations, despite the IAs explicitly stating that the costs outweigh the estimated benefits. These regulations include the UK Temporary Agency Workers Directive and the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive."

Happy reading...

Just because a regulation has a nett cost to it doesn't mean it is wrong to implement it.
