Another new Brexit thread

[BobKowalski]

Yeah that sounds correct based on what I’ve read.

Isn’t the vote via their parliament, rather than referendum?

Yes, a simply majority vote every four years to continue. If there is cross community support to continue then it will be eight years to the next vote.

As long as they're not in our waters, they can do whatever they like. The South China Sea is nice this time of year.

So is the Gulf of Aden.

If there is a deal, they will be in our waters. Without a deal they lose access and we lose access to the main market for the fish we catch.

Don't be silly.
U turned into a crocodile yet mate?

Did you just translate a joke into its literal meaning?

 

[AlexWilliamsGloves]

What's that supposed to mean? Sounds like you're suggesting Eire and Northern Ireland should unify?

Ireland. I believe you mean Ireland.

So is the Gulf of Aden.

The response from the Iranian Revolutionary Guards as it entered the Strait of Hormuz and started trawling would certainly be newsworthy.

Ireland's solution is obvious. An autonomous and United Ireland loyal to the crown and part of a fully sovereign and independent United Kingdom.

England's solution is obvious. An autonomous and United Kingdom loyal to the Republic of Ireland and part of a fully sovereign and independent United Ireland and great Britain.

Princess Nut Nuts won't let that happen

Mentioning NI is pedantry!
How far from reality do you have to be to think that?

All details about Brexit are pedantry. Banal slogans are the only valid form of comment.

 

[AlexWilliamsGloves]

Yes, a simply majority vote every four years to continue. If there is cross community support to continue then it will be eight years to the next vote.

Is that actually part of the deal?

Forcing us to vote on a brutally contentious issue....raising tensions on the troubles we have successfully "resolved" .... all to appease "your" Brexit problem....the same Brexit we didn't want?

As soon as they hand in their Article 50 letter.

 

[AlexWilliamsGloves]

As soon as you hand in your Article 50 letter.

Mine?

 

[smudgedj]

Mine?

Ooops. They.

I may be wrong here but doesn’t the WA specify NI will remain in both CUs until there’s a technological answer to the border question, that will both allow NI to leave the EU CU but whilst maintaining the GFA?

That was my understanding, yes. For clarity I didn't bring up NI here. I asked for clarification because I feel the comment that "it doesn't have to last forever" is quite flippant/blasé.

This isn't to rehash the referendum: in my opinion we are all leavers now, bottom line = democracy > reduced economy

It's just to point out that the NI/IE border could quickly become a massive problem. The topic deserves far more consideration than it gets from most people and I don't like to see it dismissed out of hand like it's a footnote.

This is as arrogant and ignorant as any remainer or EU bureaucrat saying that there should be second referendum to override the first. You should be embarrassed.

I too believe it’s crucial to us moving forward, for one, the United States won’t deal with us unless the GFA is adhered to.

That said, we strike a deal here and the WA protects the GFA and things are ok.

If after the comment was explained to you you still feel it's flippant then your problem is more closer to home.

Again, something I didn't say.

Rumours 30 plus Brexit MPs won't vote through a deal regardless should there be one.

That will have nothing to do with them all making lots of money out of a national crisis.
