EU!

[Millietant]

The vote was won by outers and lost by inners that is it - end of. What we should all do now is unite and get behind the result - support it and make it work.

Well No.  In fact there are two chances of that, one – none, and two – fuck all.


Firstly, remember why we had this referendum.  It was to unite the conservative party in order to win a general election.  It wasn’t because it was a good idea (it patently was not), or because the Prime Minister wanted to hold it, or because even a majority of MP’s wanted it.

Secondly, this is unprecedented.  A lot of halfwits, who apparently had never in their lives before voted (and I’m not talking first time voters), registered to vote and voted leave.  So I’ll explain what unprecedented means, it means we’ve never done this before, which in turns means nobody knows exactly how to do it.

Thirdly – what we do know.  Two countries in our Union voted to LEAVE, two voted to REMAIN.

Now as some of you know I’m a Scot.  Scotland voted decisively to REMAIN.  Our government will do everything it can to keep Scotland in the EU.  That means we won’t be cooperating with any UK withdrawal from the EU.  Membership of the EU is written into the parliaments of Northern Ireland and Scotland as well as the Welsh assembly. 

Scotland has 54 SNP MP’s at Westminster.  They will vote against any legislation to leave the EU.  I would expect the other 3 Scottish MPs to do likewise.

The dirty filthy gutter rag the Sun is for once correct.  490 out of 650 MPs in the commons are REMAIN MPs.  For the UK to leave the EU they have to vote against their own strongly held beliefs and principles.  And on what?  A referendum that should never have been held.

So our Scottish MP’s will be voting against any legislation to LEAVE the EU, and they will be doing everything they can on the behalf of the Scottish people to get the other 433 pro EU MPs to do the same.

Some of you might not like it.  But that my friends is how our democracy works. 

So as the referendum was not legally binding, do not assume, for even one minute, that you will actually be leaving the EU.

Have a nice day BREXITers!

Funnily enough, I've been expecting this reply, but didn't expect it from you - I see you mention that Scotland has 54 MP's in Westminster and that they will all vote against the decision to Leave - well fook me if that doesn't sum up the stupidity of our system.


1.8 million voters in Scotland get 54 MP's and they're going to try to scupper the vote of 17 million other UK voters.


4 million UKIP voters get 1 MP - basically ineffective in parliamentary voting.


If ever there was an over-represented minority, Scotland is it !


Now, I'm definitely not a UKIP supporter, but it am a bit fed up of this whole argument and especially Nicola Sturgeon (having now "lost" two referendum's she's going all out to overturn them - what a surprise). The MAJORITY of Scottish voters, voted not long ago to stay in the UK and part of that meant abiding with the UK constitution and the well known, well followed, way of doing things. The majority of Scotland's voters (but I suspect not you - although I may be wrong) voted to be in, and act as part of, the U.K.


Scotland's voter's votes counted in the EU referendum just as much as every English, Irish, or Welsh members of the U.K., one vote per voter, and the majority of the UK's voters went for Leave. Please just accept it and stop moaning on about how it was all a Tory party unity scam referendum - it most certainly was not.


No one that I know, or have spoken to, felt that this was anything to do with the Tory party. - EVERYONE was certain that they were voting were voting on whether to be part of the EU or not. FFS the labour leader was campaigning for the same thing as DC - that's a really good strategy for DC to take to unite the Tories - promise something that your main opposition are supporting as a way to unite you party, really ?[size=78%].[/size]


If that's the case, then obviously I'm too stupid and naive to be a politician (which I'm fine with).
