Guest pelmetman Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Assuming Remoaners get their wish and article 50 is delayed :-| ........... I presume we will get to vote for our MEP's? ;-) ........ That should be fun >:-) ......... "Our calculations, based on current national polls, suggest a loss of EP seats for most centrist pro-European groups and a visible gain for anti-EU and EU(ro)sceptic alliances. Polls suggest that the Christian Democrats (EPP) would remain the largest group in the EP with 25.2% (-3.9 pp). Socialists and Democrats (S&D) would bear the heaviest losses (-5.9 pp) and only reach 19.1% of seats. According to our poll-based calculations, the liberal ALDE could potentially gain 10.5% to 13.5%, depending on whether French President Macron's En Marche will join the alliance. The far-right ENF could gain the most (+3.4 pp) and increase its share of seats to 8.1%. Together with the EU-sceptic EFDD (6.5%), ECR (7.1%) and other anti-EU parties, they could reach more than ¼ of seats in the next EP." https://www.dbresearch.com/PROD/RPS_EN-PROD/PROD0000000000480268/European_Parliament_elections_2019%3A_The_next_%E2%80%9Cbatt.pdf Of course those calculations were based on Pre Macron woes, and assuming they'd be no Ukippers in the EP (lol) ......... As the saying goes......."Be careful what EU wish for" >:-) ........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest pelmetman Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I doubt our resident Europhiles considered the effect delaying Brexit could have in their wonderful European Parliament >:-) .......... "Europe Elects predicts another tie at 50 representatives in the European Parliament between the national conservative group ECR and EFDD. Whereas the loss of 23 seats by the former can be attributed to the exit of British Conservatives after Brexit, the EFDD group seems to compensate its reliance on UKIP MEPs with the German AfD and Italian M5S’ success." https://www.thenewfederalist.eu/projection-for-2019-european-elections-projection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also curious why our resident Remoaners have nothing to say about the possibility of us taking part in the EU elections? ;-) ........

Guest pelmetman Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 https://openreason.uk/delaying-brexit-what-does-it-mean-for-the-european-parliament-elections/ Some commentators have suggested that the EU-27 would be unwilling to agree to an extension. From our discussions, however, the real risk is not an absence of the political will to help the UK to navigate such a scenario, but rather a technical objection to the possibility that the UK would have to stand MEPs in the elections in late May 2019, only to leave the EU at an unspecified time shortly afterwards. That problem is a legal one: if Article 50 is extended beyond the date of the European Elections in May 2019, the UK will be under a treaty obligation to hold elections to the European Parliament whilst it is a Member of the EU. As a responsible British citizen I will do my civic duty and vote :D ........... The opportunity to give the EU one last kicking would be worth the delay >:-) ........

However if we were extending article 50 for another referendum we might not be leaving so they would have to treat us exactly as we are now as EU Members. Until we actually leave we have the same rights as any other country in Europe. Its neither here nor there now anyway as if the EU get arsey about it we can just revoke Article 50 on our own and hold a further referendum when ever we like.

Barryd999 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Hmm. Well it looks like the EU is preparing to extend article 50 until "at least" July. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/jan/13/eu-preparing-to-delay-brexit-until-at-least-july What are you going to do about your countdown thread? (lol) I actually hope they stick to their guns and only extend it for either a GE or a second ref as giving May an extension just to revise her current deal or dress it up better for Parliament will just see us kicking the can down the road where we will be at impasse once again in July. Meanwhile a group of cross party MPs including the very clever Dominic Grieve have drafted proposed legislation for a second referendum. https://metro.co.uk/2019/01/14/second-brexit-referendum-looking-likely-remainer-mps-join-forces-may-defeat-8342440/ It recommends that the proposed question is should the UK remain in the Eu or accept the Prime Minister deal. This was what the Peoples vote was all about really. Ratifying whatever deal was eventually worked out and if its not what you wanted having the option to remain. If we remember just about every politician stated in the past that "nobody voted for no deal" etc. No deal should really not be an option now as its totally avoidable now that we know we can revoke article 50 on our own. If this government allow the UK to crash out knowing how damaging that will be then its for purely selfish reasons as there is no mandate for it. Surely what is being proposed above is the only way out now. Of course if they are the only two options I suspect remain will walk it if the opinion polls are even remotely half accurate.

I cant see how no deal can be an option seeing as its what nobody wants apparently or at least thats what they said in 2016 and you cant just have one question "do you accept mays deal" can you? To be honest, Mays deal is so crap I would be prepared to accept a vote of Remain or leave with no deal. Both are true binary choices and leaving with no deal is the only real true form of Brexit.

It's not and never was. Even triggering article 50 did not mean we were obliged by law to leave within two years (which you still think it does), as the electorate were told by the man who drew up the legislation, not only could it be reversed, it could be withdrawn. The referendum also only asked a question....it didn't state what the outcome would be of leaving. Now people have seen what they face. There's also the small matter of parliamentary sovereignty you lot trumpeted about wanting it protected......yet now want to trample all over it, yet again, to get your Brexit at any cost.

Well it looks like the EU is preparing to extend article 50 until "at least" July. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/jan/13/eu-preparing-to-delay-brexit-until-at-least-july What are you going to do about your countdown thread? (lol) I actually hope they stick to their guns and only extend it for either a GE or a second ref as giving May an extension just to revise her current deal or dress it up better for Parliament will just see us kicking the can down the road where we will be at impasse once again in July. Meanwhile a group of cross party MPs including the very clever Dominic Grieve have drafted proposed legislation for a second referendum. https://metro.co.uk/2019/01/14/second-brexit-referendum-looking-likely-remainer-mps-join-forces-may-defeat-8342440/ It recommends that the proposed question is should the UK remain in the Eu or accept the Prime Minister deal. This was what the Peoples vote was all about really. Ratifying whatever deal was eventually worked out and if its not what you wanted having the option to remain. If we remember just about every politician stated in the past that "nobody voted for no deal" etc. No deal should really not be an option now as its totally avoidable now that we know we can revoke article 50 on our own. If this government allow the UK to crash out knowing how damaging that will be then its for purely selfish reasons as there is no mandate for it. Surely what is being proposed above is the only way out now. Of course if they are the only two options I suspect remain will walk it if the opinion polls are even remotely half accurate. If there is another vote then there should be 2 questions ;-) ......... 1.........Accept Mays deal.... 2.........Leave with No Deal...... We've already voted on whether we want to leave the EU *-) .......... You took part in a non-binding advisory referendum on the latter which you seem to think is cast in stone. It's not and never was. Even triggering article 50 did not mean we were obliged by law to leave within two years (which you still think it does), as the electorate were told by the man who drew up the legislation, not only could it be reversed, it could be withdrawn. The referendum also only asked a question....it didn't state what the outcome would be of leaving. Now people have seen what they face. There's also the small matter of parliamentary sovereignty you lot trumpeted about wanting it protected......yet now want to trample all over it, yet again, to get your Brexit at any cost. "On Thursday, 23rd June there will be a referendum......" No mention of it being advisory? *-) ........... Neither was there any mention of it being legally binding as it wasn't, hence the term 'advisory'. All referendums in UK are 'advisory'. Neither did it state what the outcome of leaving would entail......many have since found far more out on that much to their horror. Neither was there mention of the facts stated in my previous post about article 50. You've ignored inconvenient truths all along throughout the past two and half years and continue to do so even when it's staring you in the face. The only thing that is being ignored is democracy by you Remoaners *-) ........... It's not "democracy" you want though is it? You want what half the rest of the country don't and believe they have no right to challenge anything on Brexit. That's a dictatorship.....not democracy. May doesn't like democracy as it's let her down in the past and given her recent threats of 'my deal or no deal', i'm astonished anyone at all can support such which is borderline fascism. You parrot your silly little mantra about "will of the people" where what you really mean is 'will of 51.9%' who voted for something they had absolutely no idea of the future consequences. That's now become much more clear as people realise 1000's of jobs are going to be lost and businesses moving out. You've remained oblivious and totally uncaring about these facts throughout purely because it doesn't affect any of your family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You never cared 40 years ago and unlikely didn't 5 years ago either yet still can't give a credible explanation as to how you believe leaving the EU is going to benefit you personally. You just saw the referendum as a 'game' to 'play' with no knowledge of the dire consequences it would bring. A vote now is the only solution with the basic choices being Remain or May's Deal.....each clearly explaining the benefits and losses. No Deal is not an option unless we can isolate the lunatics and put them on an island of their own. It would of course be far easier to immediately withdraw Art50 which would stabalise the economy plus restore security to employment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly........so there's no point >:-) ........... Well there is because then you can really hold the moral high ground. The people will have voted for something they now can be in no doubt as to what it entails and if you win you can enjoy your Brexit safe in the knowledge that the remainers really have no more arguments for another vote or that you didnt know what you were voting for etc. Even Farage was warming to it tonight. Look at the options. There is no kind of deal that can command a majority in Parliament. There is certainly no majority or even a mandate for no deal and the clock is ticking as you like to remind us. Who is going to break the impasse?
