UK to leave EU

Hmmm.....
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/06/...ndum-reru/ Quote:Petition for EU referendum re-run approaches 3 million as David Lammy MP calls for parliament to block Brexit http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/06/...rom-the-e/ Quote:Nigel Farage has reacted with fury after Vote Leave said it would exclude him from a cross-party committee which will negotiate Britain’s exit from the European Union. Interesting times.  RE: UK to leave EU

I'll enjoy watching the riots that will ensue if they block the vote.
This just in, in an interview Hon. Julie Bishop MP said she has spoken to Philip Hammond MP, and said quite matter-of-fact that she has a "deeper briefing lined up for this evening to discuss the ramifications for Britain. There are conflicting messages as to whether the period of withdrawal we be the whole 2 years that is allowed under the European Union treaty or whether the European Union countries will want the exit to occur more quickly." Spears then asked "some of the foreign ministers in Europe are pushing for that aren't they?" She responded "I understand that to be the case. They are obviously seeking to put stability back into the European Union as soon as possible and that's in (I think) everybody's interest. There's a great deal of volatility at present, a great deal of uncertainty, ..."
From the sound of it, there is a push for clarity from UK for a swifter withdrawal process, commentators have been saying that the UK could wait several months before invoking Article 50, and then wait two years to fully withdraw from the EU - we'll have to wait and see, but it does appear that once the Article is invoked the withdrawal period is expected (politically) to be somewhat smoother than that.

The WIN/Gallup End of Year Survey 2013 found the US was perceived to be the greatest threat to world peace by a huge margin, with 24% of respondents fearful of the US followed by: 8% for Pakistan, and 6% for China. This was followed by 5% each for: Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, North Korea. -LINK "That's disgusting.

He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
I'm hoping we invoke the article as soon as possible.

Imagine how many more people would have voted "Leave" if the Party leaders were actively advocating Leave instead? Once Cameron is out, the new PM will be pro-Leave, so any future plebiscite or referendum would only increase the number for the "Leave" side. For example, let's imagine in the USA there is a referendum on gun control - a referendum to change the Second Amendment. Firstly, the result of such a referendum would be legally binding anyway, so a do-over would not be an option. But let's imagine that the President of the day, his party and the opposition party take the stance that "it should not change" and people voted to change it 52% - 48%. The President resigns, a pro gun-reform President is sworn-in, and meanwhile the opposition leadership changes as well. There is a partition for a do-over referendum from angry people spurred on by the gun lobbyists, claiming that "many people simply said 'Change' as a protest vote". What would the future referendum look like if the first one had 52% support when the leaders actively campaigned against change - and now the leaders are pro-change?

But I know that believing the former was way more stupid, because information to the contrary was immediately available to anyone.

Fortunately that supercilious twat will be an irrelevancy by November 10.
