The Consequences of Brexit [Part 6] READ FIRST POST BEFORE COMMENTING

Recommended Posts

It would be close again. Very close. It would be a similar result to last time, maybe just in favour of leave or just in favour of remain.

 

It will only prove one thing and that is the country is irrevocably split on the issue, and the path forward will not please everybody. On that basis a huge change cannot be carried through. It will only split us further.

 

But changes need to be made if we stay in. Big changes. To begin with, and to address the immigration concerns, we should move to the models followed on the continent around residency rights and benefits rights. Contribution-based benefits, mandatory health insurance for non-UK citizens, residency controls, proof of income or means of support, proof of employment are examples of policies implemented in other (sometimes very liberal) countries. I mentioned it before but the Netherlands is a prime example. You literally cannot function there if you don’t follow all their rules, and they apply them absolutely to the letter in a very rigid way. We could do that and few people would or could complain about it. Apart from I guess the Tory boy businessmen who have been getting rich off our lax immigration controls.

I think the Queen should definitely dissolve parliament, triggering a general election. I'm sure she's this close anyway.

she can only do it when told to, no real power there

we will never get the chance, if there was a new vote, the questions would be edged to split the out vote. we would never get an in, out vote again.

Because a lot of leave voters from 2016 are dead. 

Ah but you're not taking in to account the hordes of remainers who said they were on the first plane out of here, after the referendum returned the result they didn't want.

Really?

 

Every analysis of voting trends post 2016 shows that 70% of those over the age of 75 voted to leave and 85% of 18-25 year olds voted to remain.

That's an analysis based on what people say they have voted for, not what they actually voted for. Even if completely accurate, a swing by definition is from the last actual result of an election, not a notional poll.

If that were the case, the markets would have reacted negatively.

 

The fact that the markets rose slightly is a sign that they believe no Brexit is the most likely scenario now.

The markets did react negatively to the vote, then rallied back to the norm since the situation is, to all intents and purposes, unchanged relative to 5 weeks ago, with the Brexit outcome still to be played.

 

A no deal Brexit isn't priced in financial markets yet, nor is going to get priced in until much closer to end March 2019.

The mob in Parliament are trying to block the UK leaving the EU.  The mob in Parliament don't want there to be a Withdrawal Agreement because they don't want the UK to leave the EU.  However, nothing has changed because the default position is the UK  will leave the EU on 29th March without a deal .  The democratic people voted to leave the EU so it is irrelevant to the democratic process whether the UK leave the EU with a deal or without a deal.

We voted to leave so maybe a second referendum without the remain option but just hard Brexit or soft Brexit options might help sort this out.

News has called the MPs voting last night  a "Coalition of the Uncompromising"

An interesting and truthful phrase that is one of the reasons we find ourselves at deadlock.
