Current Affairs EU In or Out

I do think there will be an early election, later this year after the election of a new Conservative leader - they won't want to repeat the mistake that Gordon Brown made in not seeking an electoral mandate as PM. Of course it will require a 2/3rds majority of the House of Commons first.

Given that it appears that the majority of Labour's core vote voted "Leave" I think they'd find it extremely difficult to do what you are suggesting.

Too early to say what the outcome may be, and it depends upon who the Tories elect as PM but paradoxically I think they've a greater chance of being elected under a "no revoke" banner than Labour.

A national coalition Government committed to "no revoke" created by a pro-European alliance of Labour, leftish Tories, PC, Northern Ireland members and the SNP might be the best route.

Thanks for that. This is purely in the realm of passionless conjecture for me - unlikely to be in the country within a year & not investing any emotion into the result.

Numbers probably wouldn't add up - DUP & U U agin the E U; Sinn Fein don't take up their seats and only a couple of SDLP members left.

Honestly can't see an election before the boundary changes come in unless Labour is in such a hell of a mess that the Tories are 99.9% certain of victory without them.

Honestly have no idea what I'm doing

You're doing well mate. Probably managed to bring up the best points on here for leave so far.

More chilling stories from brexit Britain that totes happened for reals.

I think a lot of people who have the ability to do so, particularly young people will look to move overseas. Good luck with the move mate!

Except it's not 14bn that the UK used to give to the EU, as it's already been pointed out 14bn times.

We don't pay in 14b?

At what cost though? We benefit massively from access to the EU's single market and the wealth this brings.

Amazing how many people don't know this.

My own view on access to the single market is as I said earlier;

After USA, China, Japan and Germany - the UK has the worlds 5th largest economy.

Regarding access to the single market - I'd suspect the UK is in a very strong position to negotiate.

There will be some appetite within the EU to make an example of the UK to discourage others but I think the majority wont cut off their nose to spite their face.

To add to this, you already have German finance ministry advocating the UK becoming an "associated partner country" of the EU.

The EU needs the UK as much as the UK needs the EU. Their markets at the moment tell you that.

Shouldn't the current government have a plan though? Isn't that what there paid for?

Or where they that arrogant they thought they couldn't lose

Cameron was always resigning in the event of Brexit.

He likely had a plan should we have voted remain. Will never see that cos of the Little Englanders.

But wouldn't you think the PM would have a plan for both outcomes?

Quitting 3 hours after the result was a bit weak don't you think?

You can't win an election and then expect the loser to do your job for you

He's an arrogant man, of that there is no doubt.

To me, it always seemed like he would resign and leave the next man to sort it. Similar to that of the article 50 theory between him and Boris.

Are the 33% of Asians that voted Leave little Englanders?

My Mrs has just had a double mastectomy, she was told it wasn't a serious enough operation to warrant her own room, and at night was buzzing for pain relief only to be waiting upto an hour ( no fault of the individual nurses, they are just understaffed.) If only she could've held on for a while she could've had her own ward and personal nurse with this £350 million that has been promised...

When I had a serious operation I was put in a ITC unit after my operation, and yes when on my ward buzzed for ages to recieve pain relief no amount of funds will stop that happening when the NHS is under stress!
