Current Affairs EU In or Out

But what would a vote achieve. We would be leaving the EU, do we need to spend more millions on a superfluous vote?

We're wasting billions leaving the EU

Because it's the only way to make it legally binding.

It's like saying you are divorced without actually getting divorced.

It is remarkable since the Referendum there have been millions bending over backwards, so many it is going to be put in the Guiness book of records as soon as the exact number of folk has been quantified.

As I understand it once Article 50 is enacted it cannot be reversed so what is the point of a vote on the result of the negotiations?

We have to abide by the ruling of the high court.

How so?

Because of the apparent decision to remove ourselves from the Single market, the fall in value of Sterling, higher inflation reducing consumer purchasing power and reduced corporate profitability.

Add to that the fall in future onward investment and the opportunity cost of government and business having to focus on leaving Europe rather than growing businesses and the economy.

I could carry on, but you'll get the point.....

Was that the one that looks like Peter Griffin from 'Family Guy'? Used to start with that lad gettin dragged by the lughole into his house?

That Neale chap seems like a nice balanced individual

This is the problem that people don't actually try to understand what is actually going on around them, they take titbits from Twitter/media and believe everything. If you can't get the whole story in 160 characters or less then it can't be worth paying attention to some people.

Please put me straight if I'm understanding it incorrectly but no one is trying to stop brexit, article 50 just needs to initiated by the whole of parliament and not just the government in situ, which begs the point why would you remove the current party who are the ones that most want to leave the EU

Social media has given too many people a soapbox to stand on without doing any research into the thing their banging on about.

To be fair mate that's just your prediction (educated one admittedly). We don't really know what's going to happen until the fallout after the Brexit negotiations.

They won't take any notice. Unfortunately even an economic disaster in the coming years won't change the beliefs of some on here.
