Brexit

[Barrykearley 6,968]

Vetos are a moot discussion point. The Lisbon treaty essentially allows for the removal of this with “simple”, “qualified” and “unanimous” voting methods. No doubt the “unanimous” vote would not be allowed on many items by the unelected elite whom know best

So now Green MEP Magid Magid says hes been "duped".

https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/1152492/EU-news-European-Union-Parliament-Green-Party-MEP-Magid-Magid-latest

The real problem of the EU is trying to get 27 differing interests to agree to any thing. And why would you? Each country will want to push whats best for themselves.

I mean they cant even agree to where the Parliament should be held leading to the costly ridiculous system of changing venue once a month.

So if they cant agree on where to locate what chance has it got...

A Dictatorship is the only way to solve it. A leader who decides whats best for the EU not the individual member countries.

This is where is has to head and why I dont want to be part of it.

Sorry, Buds, but I got distracted by the headline on that page which read, "Moon landing: NASA deleted evidence of aliens in Apollo 11mission."  Doesn't exactly encourage confidence in their standard of journalism.

Ok So recently I guess due to the pound being quite weak we have sold a few orders to Australia.

The Dept. of trade and industry says its a good place to sell to. They speak English, 7th biggest ecconomy and like many of the things we in the UK do.

So this is how its been working.

Chap says he likes my goods...I give him a price including delivery (no VAT)...he sends me the money....I send him the goods...he pays his duty and gets the goods.

Every one is happy.

Trade deal? I dunno. I just make and sell the stuff!???!

Its really not difficult is it @Buddsy - the way these politicians blister on you would think it was like turning lead into gold

[Buddsy 1,641]

I remember seeing a video on the history of trade and how it was only basically during The Great War governments set up ministries to oversee trade.

Before that time people just traded. Taxes we paid obviously but that was how it was done.

So the SNP say Scotland will lose 100,000 jobs because of a no deal Brexit,just wondered what facts they have to support that statement.

[Barrykearley 6,968]

Ummm remainer logic does not require any evidential facts to support scaremongering

Rest of UK is Scotland’s biggest market. So Scottish independence will cripple Scotland!

No dummy. Of course not. Scotland will get immediate entry into the EU. Give up her fisheries. And no longer be required to be taught English at school as the new, post Brexit, language of the EU will be the language of diplomacy, French.

What's not to like. SEXIT is going to be amazing.

Shouldn't that be Jocksit?

[LotusLeftLotusRight 1,317]

To be fair to Scotland, they did vote fairly strongly to remain, so we shouldn’t be surprised that they’re not welcoming Boris with open arms. Wales, on the other hand, voted strongly to leave: so why are they kicking up a fuss now? Oh the penny has finally dropped that they won’t be getting any more EU hand-outs: no free infrastructure, no free access to the EU agricultural market, etc. Why should the rest of us have to bail them out? They wanted out, so they should just be made to deal with the consequences of a potential no deal Brexit like the rest of us.

Or should that be Joxit?

It's at times like these when we could all benefit from the perceived wisdom of the Bard of Govan, Rab C. Nesbitt.

Mrs. Brown talks more sense these days. A lot more than you get out of that bitter and twisted Sturgeon anyways and certainly more than Boris.

[C8RKH 6,397]

Jedi Knight, or Sith Lord. You decide. Either way, you have to admit the force is with Boris!

Not unexpected give that for 25 out of the last 30 years that was a Liberal seat, a small majority for the win too. Things are tight indeed, but I see we are now starting to hear more calls for Corbyn to go - a General Election would be impossible to call in terms of the winner right now. Why the hell May went to an election is totally beyond me - her advisers at the time should be spanked!

[LotusLeftLotusRight 1,317]

This is an interesting BBC graphic. If a couple of those Sinn Feann MPs decided to take a Ryanair to London, they could change everything. I am sure they won't though. They're probably happy with the status quo and hoping that the UK will rip itself apart so that they can re-unify Ireland.

[scotty435 1,104]

Lib Dem’s over turned a 8000 majority from the last election so the majority is not as small as it looks.

[Neal H 897]

Only because Plaid Cymru and the Greens deliberately didn't field candidates. Conservatives/Brexit got more combined votes than Lib-Dems/Labour. Strategic voting and alliances will become the norm in future which is a shame. The Conservatives and Brexit Party will have to 'do a deal'. It's all just a further errosion/manipulation of democracy.

Despite the rhetoric from Boris and his team, he doesn't have the numbers to deliver no-deal or any other type of Brexit. A General Election is the only way forward, which will effectively be a second referendom. Best to get it over with.

[Bibs 11,368]

Didn't the Conservatives field their existing candidate who was prosecuted for an expenses scandal recently which caused the by-election? Doesn't seem like they were interested in winning the seat.
