Re: The Aftermath of the referendum
I do find it ironic that the "Remainers" such as Sturgeon seem unable to accept the fair democratic decision of the majority, and who are more than likely the same people that would have been demanding the "Leavers" honour the result, if the result had been different....24-06-2016, 04:59 PM

Re: The Aftermath of the referendum
I was thinking if Scotland had another referendum and voted for independence and got it, then they would have to try and join the EEC in their own right. So to get back it would need 2 votes not just the one, there would be, I think, a strong resistance from Brussels for that to happen. I can't honestly see Scotland having been part of the UK which voted out being allowed back in

Re: The Aftermath of the referendum
It's easy to see why most Scottish people voted to remain in the EU, Immigration, overcrowded hospitals and schools are just something that the English moan about. Strange also that well off places in Yorkshire (Harrogate and York) also voted to remain, immigration and streets full of Romanians and Bulgarians tearing up the neighbourhood are just a rumor it has never visited them. And what about Leeds I hear you say, half of it is full of rich businessmen, and the other half is full of immigrants who don't want to be sent home.24-06-2016, 05:28 PM

Sorry Tess but how does Brexit prevent young from working in Europe, does not stop the Turks, Iranians America and uncle tom cobbly and all from working there.

EU Referendum Rules triggering a 2nd EU Referendum
We the undersigned call upon HM Government to implement a rule that if the remain or leave vote is less than 60% based a turnout less than 75% there should be another referendum.
We'd be batting back and forth for years if 60% was needed.It was pretty obvious to everyone that it was going to be very close and so about half the country were going to be very disappointed.
Scotland wanting another referendum of their own is entirely different. They have good grounds.
