They won't lose the right to work(and be fired because of it) and there won't be mass deportations.

Lemonade Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 (edited) I'm eligible for Irish (Polish) citizenship and an Irish (Polish) passport through having lived here for 5 years (also my wife is half Irish (Polish)) so I can go down that route if I have to and if I lose the right to work in Europe. It does cost 900 quid tho so I'm going to wait until everything's settled and if Indyref 2 happens before seeing if I have to apply.

Soda Jerk Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 I can't see Brexit not happening. The MPs will just have more of an input in the negotiations. Seems like the majority of MPs are committed to Brexit from all the noise that has come out of today. Surely they won't vote against their constituents?

MPs will be in a position to vote when they can see a clear(er) version of the specific deal we'll get. I think the referendum showed the public aren't happy but it'd be fucking idiocy to assume that the public want out at ANY COST, so an MP may well vote against Brexit if the deal we get offered is total dogshit, even if theyr constituency was pro Brexit. xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottyboy Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 A majority of MPs have always been against the leave vote, and the whole argument for parliament getting a debate and now (and not the whole argument, in this case) an act was that MPs are elected to represent their constituents on a broad range of issues and from there those MPs as collective (Parliament) call the shots. Like Stroopy hinted at, I think just as big an issue is how extreme May's position has been and that there has already been economic fallout that has hit the Proper British People (Marmite!). 48% of voters wanted to stay in the EU. Of the 52% who voted out, some perhaps wanted ALL OUT AT ANY COST; many wanted all the benefits without free movement of people/labour (which they see, now, that they will not get; this is maybe the biggest issue); some wanted the Norway Option without understanding what the Norway situation actually is (again maybe just the previous point). Which I think my put the dampers on how many constituents feel the stand to lose over a Brexit opposition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaaakkkeee Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 I'm hoping if the MPs debate this, we may get some actual facts out. Farage/Boris kept spouting a "norway deal" which is, as we all know, basically abiding by the rules with no input on to which those rules are. Less lies on buses, more truths that hard-brexiters cant side step or lie past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about 1k and Application for Permanent Residence is only £65 if you've been here permanently for more than 5 years I wish they would stop pissing about and invoke article 50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyboy Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 (edited) Amazing rhetoric from Farange and Suzanne-who-the-fuck-Evans today. Democracy, separation of the powers? No. this is about the "sovereignty of the British people" (Farange) and the "Judges should come under some sort of democratic control" (Evans). They should've been politicians here in the Socialist Paradise of Poland; here (and in China) the party loves that "centralised democracy", "will of the people" and total lack of judicial and parliamentary independence shit.

scottyboy Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 And "control". Fucking love control. Democratic control obviously. Democratic control on behalf of the will of the people you understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colb Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 It's been funny the last few weeks watching Americans know fuck all about how their country works. When it's closer to home, and politicians are openly threatening judges it's nowhere near as funny.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Democracy actually means that if it doesn't go your way you have the absolute right to keep trying to get it changed. Disregarding things that don't go your way is the essence of democracy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
