Current Affairs EU In or Out

They should do it ASAP, enshrine it in law not just promise it. The government can fast-track a new law if it's a human rights issue, which this arguably is.

Sort that, and No Deal's stigma is much lessened.

Indeed, and it’s the right thing to do anyway.....

I’ve seen some social media posts of remainers happy that some older leave voters have passed away. Is this really the level of debate the losers have sunk too.

Nobody over the age of 65 has any business voting on such a long term strategic decision. They should abstain and then shuffle off into an armchair.

This is the least surprising news of the day.

I’m interested in European politics, I’m a student of politics. Interest isn’t support. I’m interested in verhofstadt, doesn’t mean I want a European army, less control for member states like him.

But I bet you’re more than happy to allow 16 year olds to vote. Just pure nonsense

von der Leyen is the one who wants an army, and she now has the top job in the EU.

Remember when people voting Brexit because they didn't support the idea of an EU army were labelled conspiracy theorists?

wonder if Johnson has the bollocks to resign as pm, go to the queen so he can't run a government , it would give other parties 14 days to form a government or an election would get called?

literal Logan's Run fanboy here.

older folk have 100% earned the right to decide the future fate of their society. people have no respect for their elders anymore, it's frankly poisonous.

Of course. It is their future. They can work, get married, have kids and go to war. The idea some old codger with a few breaths left in them can vote in their place is horrendous.

Dangerous fantasy apparently according to liberal Clegg.


The idea that remaining is a static position is one of the points remainers don’t actually like to debate.

The real option of the referendum should of been United States of Europe against a clean break exit.

Elders that hark back to days of Empire and "acceptable racism"?!

You may not personally be familair but the 70s and 80s were filled with vile racism and sexism passed off as normal. Any man or woman that laughed at likes of Jim Davidson should not be trusted with a vote. No.

yes just ignore a lifetime of experience in Favour of people who have been mostly closeted within the Education system for most of there lived with no real life
or working experience sounds a good plan

Hahaha.......I do take your point, but as these are the most experienced people within our population, and have spent a near lifetime raising and looking after their kids and grandchildren, they only want what is right for their families anyway. They are not some form of selfish kamikaze cult. Like myself, they just want what is best for our children and our country....

not really feasible.

NO DEAL vs REMAIN...keep it simple.

Why isn't Boris considering this?
