Gamston Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Our electoral system has been compared to that of the Republic of Zimbabwe It would look like that to the Rest Of the World, if sore losers got their way and the UK didn't completely leave the EU. ---------- Post added 19-01-2017 at 18:01 ---------- Do you really not understand the difference between an advisory referenda, and a binding election? No worries, if you miss the point I was making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Cid Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 It would look like that to the Rest Of the World, if sore losers got their way and the UK didn't completely leave the EU. I believe Cameron said - a vote for leave, means that we do leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffrey Shaw Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Parliament could not promulgate an Act prorogating the EU citizenship of UK citizens from 01 April 2019 12:02 AM, no more than it could promulgate an Act conferring US citizenship for UK citizens. Might I remind you that the scope for these extensions lies outside Parliament's sovereignty: Parliament cannot extend the Article 50 2-year term unilaterally. Under UK law, however, Parliament- with Royal Assent- has unfettered jurisdiction. You're right, however, that Article 50 cannot be amended here simply because its provisions arose externally. In any case, however, EU rules of all types bind the UK and British subjects only because UK law says so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davyboy Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 (edited) Let's face it, none of us SFA know what will happen. It is all surmising on your part. The only thing is that Brexit means Brexit whether you like it or not. Edited January 19, 2017 by davyboy you /us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Litotes Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 That was the understanding at the time and Cameron accepted the result. And I remember Farage saying if it is 52-48 than it's not over by a long shot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamston Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 And I remember Farage saying if it is 52-48 than it's not over by a long shot... Yes, Farage would have been a sore loser, there is no doubt about that. However, I believe most Leave voters, would have accepted the result, if it had gone the other way. I don't think anyone would be saying the referendum result was only advisory. ---------- Post added 19-01-2017 at 19:45 ---------- Are you going to answer the question or just duck and dive like a weasel? Were you being serious with the question ? A weasel is a good word to describe President Jammeh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
