boris / may press conference thurs

both wont commit to article 50

I think there's more chance of the uk being kicked out by non-compliance than anything else. Which would be playing the long game than a quick 2 year goodbye.

Not heeding the referendum result would give the green light to 17 million disgruntled voters to put their cross against UKIP at the next general election - that will go down well...................

I sense Boris will want to try and renegotiate with the EU and expect a much better deal, then put forward another referendum.

If they renege it will be the end of the Tory Party. I am toying with the idea of joining the Labour Party. I like Corbyn. I do not agree with everything , or much , that he says but he seems honest and he has strength of character.

If only a strong German man would emerge to take command.
Angela Merkel is but a weak woman.
perhaps the new leader could have a stunning moustache.

you may well be right OP

If Europe stopped free transfer of labour - a new referendum in uk might well end differently

consider Norway:

In Denmark, two referendums were held before the treaty of Maastricht passed. The first was held on 2 June 1992, had a turnout of 82.9% with approval of the treaty of Maastricht denied by a slim margin of 50,7%, with 49.3% in favour of the treaty.

After that defeat of the treaty, Denmark negotiated and received the following four opt-outs from portions of the treaty: Economic and Monetary Union, Union Citizenship, Justice and Home Affairs and Common Defence. A new referendum was held on 18 May 1993. There was a turnout of 85.5% of which the 56.8% voted in favour of the treaty with the opt-outs.

How about:

A member state will only get free movement of labour rights once it is a net contributor to the central budget.


That would sort the problem- UK (as was) Germany France Spain and i guess just a very few others would qualify-and if your doing ok at home - getting benefits when unemployed-you wont be leaving in droves....
