metallithrax Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 (edited) 21 minutes ago, Gary7 said: Yes But he was asking for positives of staying in the EU. In an ideal world, yes our borders should be more secure after leaving. But I have my doubts about this. As it is now, asylum seekers should claim asylum in the first safe country they land in, but this does not happen and they cannot be forced to do so. This is why so many end up in France trying to get to the UK. And we cannot just send them back to France after they have arrived here. Out of the EU, you would hope that when they arrive here (usually without any papers), we can send them back to France, Spain etc. and let that country help them. But I doubt this will be the case.

Ah Ha, that is what I get for replying from the mini-spy. So staying in the EU would have no positives as far as security goes. But from what I have read they want a do over.. BREXIT REMORSE?

Lawmaker wants UK vote voided as millions sign petition for second EU referendum Well, Parliament could vote against leaving, but to do so would (in my opinion) create a lot more problems than going with the public vote. The petition is pointless, as you cannot change the rules of a vote after the vote has taken place. +Gary7 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rights we have in the UK (at present) were put in place as those directed by the EU.

We want another vote!" lol Waaaaaaaah, we didn't actually understand the vote, but voted off the back of what we had heard - but now it comes down to it, we're not actually committed to what we voted for. Crap. What do we do? Blame the media for misleading us? Blame the tactically worded vote for misguiding us? Whatever outcome we had - I dislike referendums. They give the impression that the public has a say, but the outcome was predetermined. 1 minute ago, Draconian Guppy said: Quite as favorable as opposed to what you have now then why brexit! Trust me, I voted remain. Nothing against those who voted to leave, that's their call and staying was mine. My agenda lost, not gonna whine.
