BREXIT

[VNA]

When there's been a referendum on the matter (Leave EU), the MP's should respect the majority view of the voters within their constituency area and vote accordingly as a formality. Why should one person make out they know better than the thousands who voted otherwise?.

We’ve been over that.  It was a consultative referendum.  Nobody had a clue what BREXIT would mean in reality.  We now have a proposed deal.  MP’s do not have to accept any old deal that is put before them.

I'm never voting ever again in any election/referendum if that happens.

Good.  More power to my vote.

Look the reality is as full members of the EU we are part of process.  We have a say in everything the EU does.  We are part of the democratic process.  Any piece of legislation can be voted down by 3 member states objecting in agreement.  And on major decisions we have a veto.  Under the EU we are a sovereign state.


This interim deal keeps us in the customs union allowing us free trade with the EU for the duration of the transition.  But it takes us out of any negotiations relating to the running of the single market and customs union, and obviously we loose our veto.  We will no longer be a sovereign state as long as we remain under May’s deal.  And of course for the pleasure of loosing our sovereignty we pay 35 billion quid :eek


We will remain locked into the customs union for ever and a day until we come up with a solution to the Irish border.  To date nobody has come up with a workable solution.  So not only do we have no say in the running of the customs union but the EU will hold us locked into it.  Hence we will no longer be a sovereign state.

I bet the fishermen would see you as  a Judas.

I think that is how many see the Prime Minister Dazza.  We will continue to abide by the common fisheries policy until such time as we can negotiate a new policy.  That is a new policy that the EU will accept.  It will ultimately be their decision not ours.


Same goes for everything else.  This is an interim deal to facilitate the real BREXIT negotiations. 



So are there any positives?  Well yes one – that is if, if, if, parliament ultimate sings this off.  Once we realise our mistake, and that is that we are no longer a sovereign nation and we are stuck in a temporary position indefinitely – we will be able to re-negotiate full membership in order to regain our sovereignty.  However our terms will have to be acceptable to the 27 existing members.



We will never achieve the deal we currently have.  May's deal is shite.
