Would you be happy if the appointed peerages in the House of Lords made the laws in the country that were passed down to the House of Commons to vote on, knowing that the Conservatives held a majority?

The unelected peers in the HoL already have the power to veto laws. Dave has been hammered numerous times.
The EU works the same, the Parliament puts forward the proposals after months of negotiation and the top boys then either see it through or ask the Parliament amend what is needed.
 
No, it doesn't.

But a person can appeal to the ECJ and many have done because they 'disagreed' with the findings in our own courts.
So again, I ask, is this something you agree with or find abhorrent that the highest authority in the country in regards to statutory law isn't even based in the country?

Nothing inherently abhorrent about that.
 
Well thats it folks, Remain will win the referendum. Just been to bookies, they're offering Remain 1/10 and Brexit 6/1. They've been taking bets of £10,000 and £20,000 on remain. Disappointed, but hey shit happens. I sincerely hope this will not prove to be an occasion where people like me will be forced to say... "Well I did warn you". Cameron and Osbourne are going to be utterly unbearable.

how do the bookies have any idea who will win ? how do they know the voting intentions of up to 46 million people ? i think its too close to call

These would be the 'top boys' that are appointed, not elected.
 
Yeah, I think in gambling speak it's called "Buying Money".

Not likely to be a Brexit victory at those prices.

i once put a grand on Rangers to beat Kilmarnock at home at odds of 1-9. It was a 1-1 draw.

You really need to wait until the hedge funds have their poll results then watch the pound/dollar markets and the ftse100 (down half a percent from this morning) and the ftse 250. That's where you find the big money.
 
I'd love to think so, and TBH I just cannot understand it, but hey there you go....

near enough all the polls are even, and even then they were all wrong last year. I just dont see how the bookies would know, when the majority haven't voted yet. unless its rigged they can't know. i think lots more people are going to vote out today then originally thought

Well the pollstation poll had close to 147,000 votes and 81% of them voted leave.

The Telegraph poll (not exactly unbiased, obviously) had something like 460,000 votes on their page and it was 77% leave. (When I last checked a few days ago)

Crumbs of hope?

Let's face it, a lot of working people, will be going this evening. That's the grafters, not the retired, the students, the stay at home mummys and daddies, so it could be a big swing...either way.
 
Nothing abhorrent about a non-UK higher authority having supremacy over people who aren't their official citizens.

Okay.

It's not a dictatorship, I know you far right people think that but it isn't.

It isn't dastardly foreigners over-ruling the British. There are British judges who are in the ECJ.

With many favourable decisions for the country and the people in it I'm glad the high court isn't the be all and end all.
 
Do you feel the proposed reforms will be accepted by the European Union? If they are not would you feel justificvation for those who voted to remain on the back of the promised proposed by the Remain campaign and Cameron himself?

In my view if those reforms are not accepted, another referendum is wholly justified as many who have switched to remain could claim they did so on the basis they were guaranteed by Cameron that the reforms would be accepted and those reforms were what originally had them voting out if they were not.

Good question but then i would not have us in the position we are in now. I would not have said we would have a referendum.
I have no faith in Dave in anything he does so i would have to see what happens rather than predict. They may go through or they may be used as a strengthened bargaining point for the EU.
I am not happy that the Election funding scandal has not been given more prominence as i am not sure wether this tory government is legal but as it is currently wrapped up in legal moves, the press say they cannot report it.

As we are in the EU i would say those that have switched are Brexit. Those that feel they do not trust him may well be voting out for that reason. Yes some may switch to remain on his words but would you trust him?, the vote is much bigger than what one dope has said.

That's a slightly mad spin on things as the HoL is purely an advisory body to stop bad laws.

Also, there is unlikely to be a majority of one party now.
 
Erm?? is that faux rage? or are you really making the mistake of thinking that he was aiming that at you.

Your posts have been 'exhaustive' but that is not what is being referred to here I would suggest
I was just making the me being stupid comment first - don't worry I didn't think anyone would accuse me of being a Johnny come lately to this. In general 90% of the brexiters have been very polite to me!
