    Three leave options and one remain? Hardly seems fair to split the leave campaign and votes 3 way with only 1 remain option/campaign!

    Surely we should have several remain options too

    remain but lose our rebate
    remain plus Euro plus Schengen
    remain plus Schengen keep rebate no Euro etc
    full on united states of Europe under President Juncker

    Cos if we remain - remain as now won't be the long term situation.

    The remain options won't be known until the EU has spoken. First the UK has to decide upon it's preferred option. Backstop for May would be to call a General Election which doesn't bare thinking about.
  • A GE certainly bears thinking about if it gives voters the opportunity to drain the swamp of self serving MPs who are totally out of touch with people whom they were voted to represent.

    Of course the second referendum won't be fair, the snouts in the trough don't want ordinary folk to vote wrong a second time.

    I wonder what they'll think if it leads to Prime Minister Farage? :cool:

    Ban the public from voting most are below average intelligence.

    Statistically speaking the only thing the electorate can be is of average intelligence.

    All the cash-rich landlords will buy all the cheap property and outbid you, so you're wasting your wishes/hopes.

    I'd much rather sell up, in fact, I have already started to do so, and if there is no crash that will remain my plan. But if there was a crash (I'm not convinced that there would be), I'd seriously consider buying another property, I think that I'd come to the conclusion that it would be crazy not to. But one thing is certain, and that is that I would not continue to sell.

    QMV makes the UK's influence null and void.

    Complete and utter fake news.

    Our influence is only null and void if we don't have a seat at the table; with QMV our influence is commensurate with the size of our population.

    And in the areas of tax, foreign policy, defence, social security and the EU budget we have 100% influence via the veto.

    The guy who tried to be an MP seven times and failed?
    The one who called for a mass brexit betrayal march for which 3 dozen deluded souls turned up?
    You're kidding, right? :rotfl:

    Nothing to do with size of population. More political make up. European People's Party of which Barnier is involved. Holds a major influence.

    By definition, no more than 50% can be below average.
