Re: Post referendum
A law firm has challenged the Government not to take any further steps with Article 50 until the matter has been put before the House of Commons.

Re: Post referendum
This is turning into a debacle.
What was the point of a national referendum and all its expense if we're not going to accept the outcome.
Ridiculous imo.

Re: Post referendum
"It has come as a shock to many that the referendum result itself is not legally binding in UK law and it alone does not trigger the UK's departure from the EU."
I lost count of the amount of times the word indicative was used during the campaign - it was an indication.
This all sounds very good to me as i doubt parliament would vote for it

Re: Post referendum
Yes I did thanks. I just think the country has voted so the government should act upon the result and now put in place the correct legal process to do such.Monty wrote:You didn't read it, did you?

That's a really good read. Basically what it argues is that the Tories won't go back on the decision to leave the EU, because they can use the result in their favour. If we're out of the EU then we can ignore a lot of what the common man would call the "red tape" of business. To you and me that means workers rights, ethical trading, environmental issues.
The Conservative Party has a free hand to rewrite the way we do business and a free hand to support those who run businesses. For instance the announced reduction in corporation tax from 20% to 15% means that there's going to be a shortfall in government income. Guess who'll bear the brunt?

Not from me If you imagine all the scots, NI and london MP's voting remain plus any others that do follow their conscience then it could be remainKwacky wrote:Could you imagine the outrage through if MPs blocked the decision?
Farcical from start to end. they didn't even think the legality of the referendum and the process after it internally, let alone actually leaving. Useless.
I'd sack the lot of them and have a revolution.

Re: Post referendum
Monty I come on here for bike chit chat mainly although rather stupidly have found myself getting sucked into politics mainly as the topic on here has got very one sided regards leaving the EU. Which is ironic really as the TS poll had more people out than in so I thought it worthwhile adding some balance to the discussion to help represent everyone's opinion on TS.
Im not going to argue over every little issue or political issues like my life depended on it so I'll bow out gracefully thank you. Life is too short.

Re: Post referendum
I wonder if the EU will offer Britons the opportunity to apply for an EU passport? If they do i wonder how many Britons would take it up to continue receiving the benefits EU membership offers them?

Re: Post referendum
It worries me how much I agree with Monty these days? Is there anyone running for the Tory leadership offering a cure for this 'disease' ?

Germany have said that they will offer dual citizenship to those Brits working in Germany who want to remain.

Andrea Leadsom looks to be the least likely to scull f@ck you with a rusty axe. All of them will be a major shift to the right and not good news for 99% of the country.
But please God don't let it be Gove or May!

Re: Post referendum
