Should Sussex become an independent country

[Triggaaar]

steady a midship Trigg

I was born & bred in Sussex,lived there for over 40 years and I don't get the vote!

yet some spotty kid that didn't even know that Brighton was in Sussex until he applied for uni does

Correct.

Oil rich Sussex would soon be even more of a magnet for economic migrants. Croydon would soon become another Sandgate. The first thing an independent Sussex should do is build a huge big wall around its borders. Only those born in Sussex or with leave to remain should be allowed to live within its borders.

Not sure I would want a King, but a Republic sounds good. Tony Bloom for leader, Barber as Chancellor, Hughton as Home Secretary, Indigo as culture Secretary. Vicente to return as Health Secretary. Oatway as Defence Secretary.

Would Dick Knight be leader of the House of Lords where would parliament be based , in the Pavillion ?

in respect of the Sussex Regiment's losses at the battle of the Boar's Head on this day in 1916,would tie in nicely with the 100 year anniversary

You've clearly started your pre-match drinking early.

Regarding my position on debt, I have learned some political savvy from the SNP. I would also like to point out that my position on debt is not my starting position, it is my only position. No alternative positions make any sense whatsoever.

We shall have a referendum. Students that are in Sussex for a brief period shall be made to feel that they're the part of something special, and that they're changing the world, and they will get a vote. 14 year olds who are fed up with life, should also get the chance to vote for change. Any Sussex born man or woman that is enjoying the few benefits that the world has to offer outside of Sussex, should not be allowed to vote, if they do not live here. It shall be made clear that this is our only chance to ever set ourselves free of the tyranny of the imperialist British Empire. Should the unthinkable happen, and we lose the vote, we shall of course demand to have the vote again, every 12 years until we get the result we want.

Would we be a left-wing or a right-wing country though?

So obviously the Amex is the National Stadium but should the Albion be transformed into the Sussex National team so we can go for World Cup Glory, or should we just be content with eternal domination of the Sussex Premier League - or should we bung some cash Crawley's way to set up a kind of Young Old Firm rivalry?

As long as there was passport control with Surrey, both above and below ground.

We already have a Sussex Day 16th June.

Have you been talking to people from Cornwall ??

 

[Bladders]

Some sort of border creep then?

In that case I'd push up to Guilford, Redhill, Tonbridge and Tenterden just to create a bit of a buffer.

Why would we want these shit holes?

We should only annexe the Pantiles area of T Wells, the rest of it is a dump Kent can keep.

 

[Worthingite]

I feel with all this militaristic talk of land grabs and suchlike, we're going to need a competent foreign secretary, capable of spinning our story to the outside world and yet quietly glad handling the people we need to, to be able to make our move in our target areas. I feel I am up to this challenge and look forward to meeting with the foreign secretary of Great Britain to discuss which one of us gets Croydon when it's razed to the ground.

Tonbridge is a key hub station on the railway. Plus it's an entrance to the M25. With significant transport links, we need to go that far up, to ensure we have those under our control. I'd propose going to the north of Tonbridge though- sort of hildenborough way- there's a couple of nice pubs up that way, and if we gain control of Tonbridge School and Judd it means we have our very own Eton and Harrow alternatives

 

[GreersElbow]

GCHQ just called, we're all domestic terrorists.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Can I suggest that the borders be shifted slightly to remove that "church" in East Grinstead?

Surely with our new wealth we'll Monorail the whole Kingdom and leave run down old Tonbridge station to England.

Do we need links to the M25? Why would anybody want to leave our new paradise for anywhere in forgotten old England.

Agreed.

Would we be a left-wing or a right-wing country though?

I think we have to appeal to all sorts. I propose we should be a Marxist state with a Royal Family. Not sure if that should be the Blooms?

That could become a principality that we gift to someone. As long as we don't make it big enough to become a tax haven.

We will be a democracy. I imagine Mustafa will campaign to have a system of direct democracy, but I doubt the public will go for it. I imagine a couple of main parties will evolve, and power will flit between them every parliament or two. Only over time will we really know if we're left or right wing. To start with, I suggest we try not to differ too much from the policies of the recent UK governments, and then once we achieve independence, we encourage different parties to form their policies and fight for the public's votes.

May I suggest that if you are to take any position in our new government, that you be a little more guarded with what you say on a public forum, or that you stop letting children make posts with your account. Our new government will obviously not need to spin anything, as we will be honest, pure and just.

Can we be just about honest and pure? Only a little spin there.
