Europe, Referendum & Brexit (formerly Europe..IN or OUT??)

It also makes them subject to some of EU regulations, directives and legislation. The downside being that because they are not a member of the EU they have no say/input in these laws as they go through the EU parliament. Though the Norwegian parliament has to approve new legislation, 92% of EU laws that have gone through their parliament have been approved unanimously the rest with a broad majority

Which I suppose is the possible scenario we face when we leave
Thanks mate just needed that explaining!!

Even if we leave the EEA and its just trade deal most exporters will still have to follow EU rules on stuff like Saftey standards to be able to sell there products in the EU like the rest of the world does when selling to us they have to adhere to British Standards to sell stuff legally here

Guessing the City to get any deal will mean have to adhere to some EU financial regulations and maybe even there could be a transaction tax the french have been wanting for years but we have been blocking it coming in

Whats the betting if we leave that Vegtable picking and carehome work and even working as a barista in a coffee shop will reclassified as Skilled labour to get round the ban on unskilled migrants

Served them bloody right. Tim Nice-But-Dim acting like the conquering hero yesterday (and being allowed to by the media) was quite ludicrous.

Has with single currency and the UK, you don't understand what name calling is.

Has for freedom of movement/ free trade, I know that it is linked this is why I have been argueing that it doesn't have to be, it is purely and simply becasue brussels say so; other countries in the world have trade block without it.

When the UK had a need for nurse in the NHS they merely recruited from abroad.

It is also the reason I have been saying it's a no no on free trade for the UK, both these things being responce to posts on here on the subject

Sarah Olney screwed up here, Julia Hartley Brewer was there for the taking. When is the second by-election? Well the voters of Richmond Park will get the opportunity to vote again in the 2020 general election and the 2025 general election, in fact even with out any further by-elections the people of Richmond Park will get a chance to express their views at the polls every 5 years from now until the day they die

Then she talked about how Brexit had a bigger mandate because it had over 50% but there was only two options in the Brexit vote so by way of simple mathematics the winner had to get over 50%. There were 8 candidates in the by-election making it much harder to get 50% or over and yet Olney got 49.68% of the vote which by itself is an achievement because only 34% (219 out of 650) of MPs have over 50% of the vote in their constituencies

Hartley Brewers first question shows a basic lack of knowledge when it comes politics and her second shows a basic lack of understanding when it comes to Primary 1 level mathematics

Italy says No.

E.U. Tower of Babel is tottering tonight.

We won't need A50 at this rate! Well done Italy.

Meanwhile Green Party & pro-EU candidate Alexander Van Der Bellen wins the Austrian Presidential election

Well done Austria

The Italian referendum was not about the EU.

Many passionate pro-Europeans in Italy voted against the proposed constitutional reforms.

It might not be about the EU but Renzi,s resignation could lead to a general election in which Beppe Grillo,s five star party are expected to do really well and possibly even win it. If that happens he has promised a referendum and with the level of anti eu feeling in Italy at the moment they could easily vote to leave.
