So what about the populace who voted us in in the 70's do we apply the same criteria What was the age group which decided that it would be a good idea, & what of those who voted against You can't keep voting until you get the result you want, get over it. The British people have spoken, it's called Democracy
And this is why the forum discourages Political threads |

lol I know, to be honest I just like poking the usual suspects really
However, to get back to my original point can we just get on with it now - whatever 'it' is going to be? |

I would never try to persuade anyone to change their mind but would hope that if they see a reasonable argument they at least think about, or even around, it. I once posted at length on these boards about this issue (one has to be careful not to arouse the sleeping giant mod from his deserved slumber) in strong support of the status quo. As arguments emerged and were examined properly, I was alarmed to discover my change of heart and posted accordingly. Those posts are on record and easy to find!

But please think of the ludicrous consequences of what you propose! I could make an equally ludicrous proposal that just as we don’t allow people under the age of 18 to vote due to lack of experience - then people UNDER age 50 should not be allowed to vote on Brexit because the have no idea of what it was like before we joined the EEC - and certainly no idea at all about what the politicians within Europe have managed to morph a simple trading bloc into. The EU is now a political construct rather than an “Economic Community”. I’d voted to join something very different in 1973. And became increasingly dismayed at the direction the EU is travelling in over the last few decades. I voted leave due to my experience. |

Firstly, I do hope we can keep this thread civil because, this topic is around an historic event in our history.
While I believe that the referendum was influenced by many that it possibly won't affect in the longer run, people didn't actually vote with the knowledge they should have been furnished with prior. No political party put the pros and cons to the public in an open way. Just take for example the Gove and Johnson road show in their red bus. The government will not be able to cherry pick the terms of Brexit as we are one country and the EU is 27 countries, almost all the institutions are predicting job losses, poorer living standards, lack of investment in the UK. With an aging population we need EU workers many of whom work dam hard pay their taxes and contribute to our economy also, many of their ancestors fought along side us in WW2. Freedom of movement works both ways. What we are creating in the UK is a zero hour contracts, bob a job mentality without long term security for workers. I for one can't buy in to the low unemployment figures on that basis I'm not politically minded I consider most of them in all parties to be duplicitous to say the least, I would prefer my children to have the choice of free movement within Europe. |
