    Glad somebody made a thread on this. CL has been ignoring the Brexit thing for too long.

    I'm sure it is an important issue, but at the moment I'm more concerned with how reliable my scales are. Have I lost a lb or put on 5 :neutral:

    The Energy Union's aim is to provide secure, sustainable, competitive, affordable energy so it's a definite "no" from me.

    I'm still boycotting home games at the Valley so at the moment I feel the best option is remaining...at Ebbsfleet United to watch local football.

    Depends on the context of "right". Do you mean "correct" or the opposite of "left"?

    Only racist deluded little Englanders would ever consider it. No one will vote for that.

    Good someone make this thread an announcement. Then I can "dismiss" it and never see it again.

    It's quite simple really, everyone who voted to leave is a massive racist and everyone who voted to remain is a pessimist snowflake remoaner.

    of course it's the right thing .. we didn't sign up in the 1970s to end up as a German colony

    We never joined the EU at all.

    Britain actually became a member of the European Community (EC) in 1973.
    After the Maastricht Treaty, the UK (along with other EC members) was subsumed into the new European Union in 1993.

    Am I splitting hairs? Probably.
    Should I get out more? Definitely.

    It was jolly good to see that the Supreme Court has decided that Parliament will be consulted prior to the triggering of Article 50. This will surely mean that there will be no more loose ends for anyone to discuss or debate, as they'll cover everything off to everyone's satisfaction. Won't they?

    What about those that didn't vote/spoiled their vote?

    They should be lined up against the wall and shot for their dereliction of duty to the democratic process.

    Ironically today's development was actually something well worth debating and hearing how both remainers and leavers took to the news.

    See your point but For every page 'well worth reading' on the brexit thread there was at least 20 pages of complete nonsense. That's why it had to be closed.

    Lot of Labour MPs up North voted to remain,
    but their constituents voted overwhelming to leave,
    (some 75%). How does Parliament having a say help?

    Be very interesting to see how each nation votes on this. Imagine Scotland will be pretty much 100% voting against it. Wales was leave, as was England - will their MPs vote for what their constituents wanted or for what their party wants them to vote for?

    N Ireland will be interesting, will their votes represent how their constituents/party want them to or how they feel it could affect a border?

    Can't imagine any sort of upset here but think it will herald a new Scottish independence referendum with a different result.

    8 months after the referendum and we are still discussing hard or soft Brexit which tells us that the vote was incompetently worded and shouldn't be treated with its current gravitas.

    And the process has not even been debated in parliament and is unlikely to be so until after Article 50. Democracy? Shocking!
