[Politics] Brexit

[GoldWithFalmer]

I guess we might see the possibility of some prestigious German car manufacturers wanting to set factories up here in the UK....to access our market and circumnavigate tariffs..

This reminds me of the bloke who hurls himself off the top of a tower block and as he plummets past the second floor a chap on a balcony asks him how it's going. "All right so far," says the suicidee.

Brexit = suicide is an interesting comparison but says more about your mindset than the reality of our situation.

What happens if the building is on fire and all the doors and windows have gone into lock down to prevent fire spreading.....also the man falling is about to land in the swimming pool.

What happens to the poor fella on the 2nd floor balcony?

Petition to activate article 50 now.

https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/133618

The moment Article 50 is activated the clock starts ticking and those on the EU side of the negotiating table get in a stronger position with every day that passes. Sign this petition if you are really very silly.

Very tortuous as analogies go. 3/10 could do better.

Already signed and sealed

However what if all the stats and indicators are in our favour in a few months time when we do push the button. You are basing your assumptions on the fact that the markets et al still don't believe we will leave. I'm not sure that's the case

No, I am basing my assumption on the fact that there are no stats that can tell us if we can negotiate a free trade agreement with E.U. or not. The E.U. is saying, go through the divorce process, which we know takes 2 years, then we negotiate. There will be 2 years of not knowing, what do you think will happen during those 2 years?

How long will you keep this spoilt brat syndrome up, it won't change the result

Sorry but this is total nonsense. Virtually the entire economic and business community warned what the likely consequences of Brexit would mean and then were told by Leavers that "we've had enough of experts" and told to shut up. I think it's shameful that some of our best qualified people on this were treated with such disdain and contempt and it helped pander to lowest common denominator. And now you have the gall to blame a likely economic downturn on people who likely voted Remain. It's bollocks.

I don't blame people based on what they voted. I blame people who cannot accept a defeat and will try to sabotage things for the selfish pursuit of proving to others (and perhaps themselves?) that they were right and others were wrong.

It's PATHETIC.

 

[Baldseagull]

So you cannot differentiate nor want to between countries

Ideally, no. Why do you?

As I said earlier, a long campaign to undermine the referendum is underway. Mishcon de Reya eh?

 

[beorhthelm]

as i read the protestations of the remain hopefuls who cant accept the result and want to blame leavers for impending economic doom, as predicted by those who didnt predict 2008 events and found and lost £20bn from UK budget in the past 9 month, i cant help feel that the blame lies with the Remain campaign. they simply never made the case for being in the EU, they always made a negative story about leaving, and frankly many people had had enough spin, were not politically likely to follow Osborne and Cameron, or wanted to make an assertive vote. if Remain had made a positive case for EI membership instead of fear of leaving, maybe they would have swayed people that way, or at least made them stay at home. put another way, dont blame leave voters for the poor remain campaign.

[pastafarian]

Agree let's get the plans together first

indeed
either way there are important elections in France and Germany next year,quite possible we could find ourselves with a much more eurosceptic big two and negotiating from a strong position.......or not,who knows?

Anyone seeking to circumvent/reverse the biggest electoral mandate in our history before it has been enacted is playing with fire .. we will leave the EU.

Typical spin post the number of votes, but not the percentage difference between 1st and 2nd

They won't be as The vote for the next Conservative leader is not until September, and the current market and investment pressures are due to the uncertainty of knowing what our trading position with Europe and the Rest of the World is like following the complete exit from the EU.

you accuse of "spin", yet when has the % differences between 1st and 2nd place previosuly mattered? when Blair won a third term in 2005, returning a 30 odd seat majority, did anyone remark that the 2.8% margin over Conservatives somehow invalidated the result?
