Current Affairs EU In or Out

[tsubaki]

This is my exact situation as well. I don't know enough about it as everywhere I look people are saying its lies, all I know are the majority of well respected people are voting remain, they know more than I do so I thin =k it may be best if I don't vote

Look at the list of well-respected people calling for remain, and then look at what they have been doing for the past thirty years. Seeing Cameron, Osborne, Blair, Brown, Clegg, Branson, Beckham, Major and the rest all saying the same thing (and in a campaign funded by Goldman Sachs and Bet365 no less) is the biggest single reason I have voted to leave.

[Verse 1]
We're leaving together
But still it's farewell
And maybe we'll come back
To earth, who can tell?
I guess there is no one to blame
We're leaving ground (leaving ground)
Will things ever be the same again?

[Hook]
It's the final countdown
The final countdown
Ohh!

[Verse 2]
We're heading for Venus (Venus)
And still we stand tall
Cause maybe they've seen us
And welcome us all yeah
With so many lightyears to go
And things to be found (to be found)
I'm sure that we'll all miss her so

He has problems with a lot of members it would seem.

@kithnou is the GOT go-to guy for advice toward dealing with such issue. His ASS has dealt with many a problematic member -most of them now totally deflated and spent.

And OK, so Aiden turned out not so special; but Kithnou's ASS experience, in dealing with such egregious under-performance , leaves him (ironically), in penetratingly good stead going forward.

I think I'll be using this gem on a couple of women that come to mind.

Biggest vote for decades and we're doing double entendres within 4 pages. Gotta love this place.

It took 4 pages??...that's a terrible indictment on modern day GOT.

I see three potential outcomes if Leave wins.

1. We leave

2. The EU offer to return to the table to discuss terms to prevent the UK leaving

3. The PM rejects the outcome (it's only a glorified survey after all, not legally binding), and commits political hare-kare.

2 feels the most likely to me. In spite of all the bluster from Juncker et al, they're not just going to let one of their biggest, strongest members just walk away, and leave the EU incredibly fragile and open to subsequent refs from other member nations. And I think some bold reforms would satisfy all but the most extreme EU-haters.

I actually wrote to my MP on just this question... was the vote, irrespective of which way it goes, legally binding and could the result, depending upon the turnout percentage and/or narrowness of a tight margin of victory either way, be over-ridden.

The reply didn't confirm the legally binding aspect, but I was advised that as far as the House of Commons is concerned, a victory either way, even if only by one vote, will be upheld... as the people would have had their say and Parliament is there to carry out the wishes of the British people/electorate.

Leave; being debating with myself for weeks, decided in the booth. Europe has become a capitalsts dream, the introduction of TTIP will only enhance this for the american corporations.

We got told it would be an economical disaster not to joing the euro single currency by the same people who are telling us to stay, my personal belief is that we can be better away from the spiders web of legislative demands placed on us.

Pulling out might have it's risks but it's safer than staying in till the finish.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

I'd be utterly ashamed of this country if we vote to leave today. Utterly ashamed.

 

[Ashtonian]

I'll call it now.

We will remain in the EU because most of the people saying vote leave won't be arsed turning up today.

Here in NZ we recently had a 'new flag' referendum.
