Current Affairs EU In or Out

Its like a carry on movie your post, parliment voted 6-1 to have a referendrum and on how the ballot paper was set out ????????????????????????????????

You've completely lost me now. My post has absolutely nothing to do with voter eligibility.

Hang on short memory the Government left an online poll that crashed for people to register for an extra 72 hours and they still lost!

The state of this post when you're complaining at what you think is democracy being bypassed

You're rambling from subject to subject without providing anything in the way of an argument.

How does the additional voting period make up for 16-18 year olds being denied the vote?

the law today was nothing to do with this subject?????????????????????????????????........................................

history we have had the vote now its up to the courts to say how parliment deals with article 50 end of!

Enough of your ill informed rambling.

Rather than abbreviation, I'll print it in full here: LAUGHING OUT LOUD!!!

Totally ridiculous... Let's give the vote to 4, 5, 6 year-olds, eh???

It's nothing to do with giving kids votes, it's the fact that only about a quarter of the population voted Leave.

There's no need for many of the headlines and propaganda produced by that vile rag mate.

If we're looking at reasons why intolerance is on the increase, we should start with the contribution made by the Mail, Express and Torygraph.

It's also useful to look in the mirror (not the newspaper).......

How does denying 16-18 year olds the vote have anything to do with the extended registration period Joey?

Answer a question for once, people might have a bit more respect for your posts and be slower to dismiss them as waffle.

Only it's not 'crying' over anything

It's the Govt being told that they have to follow the correct constitutional process i.e. the democratic process of the land.

The irony of you comparing the correct democratic process being adhered to, to 'crying over spilt milk' after having posted 'we won, you lost, get over it' for months is hilarious tbh Joe.

 

[Joey66]

Which has absolutely nothing to do with my post. Carry on.

have a GE with 16 year olds in then first- why should the EU vote be any different to our constitution on voting I feel this did go to a vote in the house and was lost!

I'm not a National newspaper editor mate, so I'm not sure where you're going with that.

even if its a bill and they all vote positively for a soft Brexit what happens if the EU parliment just laughs at it and puts two fingers up to it ? the government could then say ok hard brexit it is?

Don't know mate. It's a 'kin potential minefield.

I voted leave myself but only made my mind up on the day, when I actually had the ballot paper in front of me tbh. There are pros and cons on both sides and it was such a close call for me I could have tossed a coin. I wouldn't have been too bothered had the country voted remain.

What did pee me off immensely was the general perception that ensued that all leave voters were either racists or easily influenced idiots that didn't understand what they were voting for.

I don't have a problem per se with parliament being involved at this stage. British Parliamentary sovereignty is actually one of the things I voted for. My concern is that the vast majority of MPs supported remain and it's possible that they may use their influence to scupper the Brexit altogether, rather than represent the majority opinion of the constituents they represent, which should be their rightful stance in my view. It's not that I consider staying in Europe to be a dreadful thing, it's just that if Parliament decided against pushing through Brexit, then it would throw the country into a constitutional nightmare that would take years to recover from.

IMO, the common sense approach would be to pass a bill to invoke Brexit whilst providing very broad objectives of what we want to achieve. The bill should also involve the formation of a cross party committee whose job it is to try and implement these plans.

Don't hold your breath though.
