Tamdunk Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Would anyone who is going to be majorly affected by this consider moving to a country within the EU? Would you change job here? People seem to forget how big a market the UK is. The largest amount of gaming sales in Europe is an example. People want in on that cash whether it's part of the EU or not. I'm not trying to argue in favour of brexit, but against the armageddon pish coming out, which reminds me of the indyref. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is probably some EU directive that stops us sending children up chimneys nowadays. Interfering foreigners - be gone with you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The things is that the plan for indy Scotland was to remain in the EU or at least join it simultaneously, thus avoiding the utter shambles that we see in the lead up to Brexit. They're not comparable scenarios. As an ex-customs officer I've known for years that EU membership or at least customs union/single market membership are essential in order for our economy to function in an efficient manner. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it does come down to SM/CU membership then it will just create more problems for the government and I think it will ultimately lead to a second referendum. Remainers will still want full membership status and Leavers won't be happy that it's not the clean divorce that they were hoping for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remainers will still want full membership status and Leavers won't be happy that it's not the clean divorce that they were hoping for. That's a problem they've brought on themselves. There's no way pout of it that's acceptable to either and kicking the problem down the road just makes things worse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been the only coherent plan we've had since June 2016. When push comes to shove there will be enough Tory rebels to force a change of course, probably through a new General Election. This gives potential for Brexit to be overturned. Corbyn will be under huge pressure and if he fucks it up and still gets grass root party support I can see a split in the Labour Party. That will hand political dominance to the Tories on a plate for the foreseeable future. It is almost unbelievable that after May getting screwed in the last election she called that she could do better in another one due to Corbyn’s/Labour’ ineptitude. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could it be that Corbyn is actually frightened of becoming PM? On the face of it it might sound an absurd statement but he’s an idealist who would actually be expected to deliver and not just theorise and pontificate. Before becoming leader he was a backbencher for 20+ years and continually defied the party whip (nothing wrong with that in itself). The thought of dealing with all the issues of running the country whilst dealing with an ideologically divided parliamentary party maybe scares the wits out of him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
