    Brexit is like deciding with your family where to go on holiday. Your uncle picks somewhere awful then you spend two years having to hear them talk about the awful holiday. Eventually you find out your uncle lied about how great the holiday is and he just wants to get there to sleep with a waitress he met called Taxe Vasion. Now your a few weeks away and he hasn't even booked a hotel just the flights and while he hops off to his girlfriends house the rest of you are going to be left at the runway in the middle of nowhere.

      Not likely at all. EU officials have already said multiple time that the agreement has been done and it wont be changed. That is why May could only give promises on the nature of the negotiations in the future which the deal states need to be done.

      EU members will accept an extension if they feel that it will be productive, not if they feel like the UK is kicking the can down the road. But the time is short as you know, us other memberstates have EU elections coming up and each state will be focusing more on that than Brexit.

      I think the EU has already settled on the idea with Tuss.. EU will only give an extension on the grounds that there will be second referendum.. any other deals that is proposed to EU would be pointless.. as Tuss is only a representative.. the proposal will have to go through all the countries.. which will take months to vote on.. literally Tuss can only agree what has been voted on by the other counties.. so what May said here is pointless.. as extension would never be made in time.. unless it involve a second referendum. I still don't understand why UK still think EU are run by one person.. and negotiated by one parties... that part really perplex me. EU is one complex system, it could not bent towards UK even it Tuss are head over heel trying to help UK .. you simply need to go through the system to be granted the "authorities" for change.. and it would take months.

    what keeps annoying me is the following:
    the referendum was based on completely different views on what Brexit would actually be.
    Lets examine:
    -Norway+ deal is close to staying in the EU and was promised by the likes of Corbyn
    -No major economic downsides (promised by Liam Fox).
    -Hard Brexit being favourable (People like Jacob Reess Mogg and Nigel Farage)
    These completely different views on brexit are not compatible.
    For instance 2 million people voted to leave the EU on the understanding that they would get the Norway+ deal. Instead they might end up with a Hard brexit. Is this something that they were promised, and voted for? NO!
    basically what it comes down to is the following: A group of 52% of the voters voted leave. Most of them for completely different reasons and ideas of what brexit would actually look like. On the 1 hand you have people that want out of the EU at any cost. (Hard brexiteers). You have people that want to leave the EU but follow most of the rules anyway in order to keep damage to the country low.
    All these different votes accumulated to 52%
    If the plan was made first and the referendum was held with the following question:
    Would you like to leave the EU on No deal/TM's deal? (note the / being an or in the question so only 1 option would be on the ballot).
    []Stay within the EU
    [] Leave the EU on No deal/TM's deal
    i can 100% guarantee you that the vote wouldn't be over 50%. Hell i think it would struggle to reach 30% in case of the question involving No-deal. Especially now that all the lies have mostly been exposed.
    If you are a leaver i'm going to ask you the following: Can you indicate why you voted to leave. What your red lines are and how much you'd actually sacrifice to leave the EU.
    I came across a few pepole that voted leave on twitter and asked them this same question. 1 of them said: I'd be delighted if we leave on no deal. Then i asked: What has the EU done that you want to leave it without a deal. Please give some proper arguments. No response.
    If you want to leave the EU so bad, you MUST have a good reason to do so. If your house suddenly drops 30% in value, you must have a reason to justify this, right?

      Being out of the customs union and not under the jurisdiction of the ECJ are my red lines.

      If a region doesn't do a lot of trade, nothing changes en why would they block what the others want?

      He’s only recently gone through the “awakening” that lots of leavers at heart will need to over the next few years.
      The “that need us more than we need them” mentality doesn’t take notice that the need is mutual. Modern economies are interdependent unless they want to be like Burma or Zimbabwe.

    A lot of has developed in the time since the referendum but they're insisting on data that is nearly three years old now. The data will have undoubtedly have changed there could be fewer, or even more, than 17 million people who would vote to leave, and i want to stress this part, knowing now what brexit actually entails beyond the campaigns

    "What kind of message would that send to the more than 17M people that voted to leave the EU nearly three years ago now?"
    Well...
    One - your government is utterly incompetent and probably should never have started this mess without a scrap of a plan.
    Two - this is way more complicated and difficult than those 17M people thought it would be.
    Three - those 17M people were systematically lied to by both the leave campaigners AND successive UK governments.
    "I have been clear throughout the process that my aim has been to bring the country back together..."
    by utterly ignoring the people who voted remain, the people who didn't vote, the people who weren't allowed to vote and of course, the people who are living here legally under the terms of the Lisbon Treaty - which we signed - who I like to call 'queue-jumpers'. Because nothing says 'we want to get you all together again' like forgetting more than half actually exist.
    "... this house can only do this by implementing the decision of the British People."
    Well, 37% of the voters, more like 26% of the entire British People.. in a non-binding referendum, where the winning side was found guilty of multiple violations of the elections acts in an election where as many as 4.5M "British people" were arbitrarily excluded from the vote and Commonwealth citizens, who aren't 'British People' were allowed to vote... but sure.
    Sidenote: Anyone else notice that May missed an entire outcome? If the house doesn't vote to leave with no deal.. then there will be a vote to extend Article 50. But nothing is said as to what happens if that vote fails - or if it passes and the EU says no (which is likely since France and Germans have both said they're not going to accept an extension unless there's some point to it).
    At that point there will be no options left. May's deal is gone. Leaving with no deal is gone. Extending A50 is gone. 29 March will be just 15 days away - not even time for a referendum.
    That means that then there would be exactly two possible outcomes: doing nothing until 29 March and just falling out of the EU with no deal - which, while it would violate the spirit of the vote against doing just that - is in fact the DEFAULT action if nothing is done. To actually live up to the vote, the gov would have to do something to avoid it.
    Which leaves us with just one remaining (pardon the pun) option... revoking Article 50.

      It's only been a mistake because of the remainer Government. The PM herself voted to remain, yet felt she should lead the leave campaign and didn't think there was anything wrong with that. There's enough at this point to say that the PM and the EU are working together so the UK does not leave.
      I live in N.Ireland and I've always felt British, but I've never been so against the UK Government in all my days. I'll only ever vote again if it's to directly help people, which means I'll never vote again.

    Something is not clear. What if, after rejecting May's Deal, the Parliament rejects the option of a No Deal Brexit and then there is not a mojority for an extension of the Article 50.

If 13M voters didn't cast a ballot, shouldn't there be something done about that? The winning margin is 1/10th the non-vote total. Could the fact that the vote was so close with not everyone voting that it would automatically trigger another referendum?

      It's been going on since the windrush. It was all bullshit. I'm of South Indian heritage. My grandad was RECRUITED by the British to serve in the British Navy in Singapore. He came over to the UK and worked for a few years in a factory and then went back to India. My parents got married and chose to come over to the UK as my Grandad had a British passport from his service. Now, they were lied to. There were promises of prosperity and work, based on the British needing people to come and do so. It was rubbish. My dad could have stayed in India they were conviced to leave everything and come to the UK. You may think that well he could have gone back but life was very different then. You can't just get up, move to a new country, and then move back to go back into your previous work as though nothing happened. and you also need a money for it, which my parents didn't have after coming to the UK. But my dad found a job straight away and never signed on or took a penny from the government, Not having money after ending up in Europe is one of the biggest occurences with the current "windrush" with the EU.
      I'm in my 30's and my father is just telling me of the windrush deceit now but maybe it's because I goaded it out of him with all EU talk. Now the same thing is happening with the North African migrants. They are also being lied to with promises of work and prosperity when there isn't any. Macron and Merkel were openly inviting them to come into the EU and the NGO's are assisting with this process.
      Check out Laura Southern's documentary on this.
      /watch?v=UlM-bkGg08I

      But you're welcome. I shared it because it needs to be said. Being called a racist is one the biggest hurdles the anti-EU folk face and people like me need to speak out more to combat this. A lot of minorities voted to leave and that's being intentionally ignored.

    • @suroj
      @suroj 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      You're right, I shouldn't even use the word "multiculturalism" as that would mean I am acknowledging it. I even try to avoid using the word "brexit" as that has been attached to staying tied to the EU. Language is very important hence why bodies such EU suppress it.
      I'm glad you acknowledged my point about the minorities standing up because it's true. I truly realised this when I went on the Brexit march last December. During the entire march, I had white British people constantly trying to tell me that they're not racist and I was like, "I know you're not, stop telling me!". Eventually I got to me. I felt sad that ordinary British people who are simply standing up for their people and culture are labelled as "racists", and they have to tell me, a minority in their country that they are not racist. It made me sad, and that's when I realised the most effective thing that I can do to help is to stand up for them, which I do. We can all do different things to help eachother and even writing here on youtube is something, which I believe very very important as it's in real time, fluid, and is the best way to counter act the MSM.
      But during the March, the main thing I felt was joy. I realised there and then, that we are winning. There's no reason for you to be depressed, this is beautiful. We voted agains the entire political system, the media and our establishment and we won. The same in America and what's happening as we speak all around Europe. We have kicked off a revolution. The MSM media is dying, they are literally making redundancies and actively trying to silence people like Tommy Robinson and anybody with a growing youtube channel. Historically, the act of trying to silence people, means the people in power are losing and have nothing left. People cannot be silenced , we will win.
      So don't feel sad, this moment is beautiful, we are all untied, more than we ever have been and we are fighting together for a better future.

Having listened to the news the government’s mantra is to respect the 51,9% leave vote result. What about the other75% and their respect? Have they been listened at No10,in Parliament ?

    Hardly "explained". It seems to me that you have just shown highlights whilst adding cards that repeat what is being said, sometimes incomplete. You could have listed all the popup card text and given comment or an explanation.
    The flow chart similarly repeats exactly what is being said. Are there people watching this that do not understand what is being said and need a graphic flowchart? If it were a complex processes, then flowcharts indeed help, but surely not here!
    Explaining a subject would benefit from asides and some background info. The UK parliament channel used to have commentators explaining what was going on during the division vote counts. I found this enormously helpful as they explained so much, but it seems that they no longer do this. I watched your video looking for much the same, but just found a "highlights" show with distracting incompl cards.
    Furthermore, you stopped prematurely. What about if EU do not allow for an extension? That was discussed but was not included.
    Some amendments were not moved based on the PM's assurances at the dispatch box. Did you not think that they were important? Also Yvette Coopers amendment was moved despite the PM saying that it would be done. Apparently Yvette Cooper did not trust the PM's word and needed it voted upon. There is so much going on far deeper than what is being said at the dispatch box, it would be so helpful to hear a decent explanation in case I have missed other issues. For instance 20 Tory MP's voted against Yvette Cooper's amendment. That is really surprising. Do you have any thoughts on the point were they trying to make?

    I have a question about the vote and result of the referendum and the action the government has taken based upon it. As far as I am aware there has been demonstrable illegal activity on the side of Leave, and there is legal precedent which would mean that because of that the actual vote and result are invalid, irrespective of whether it would have affect the result or not. And I believe there has been challenged on this basis. However, because the vote was not legally binding and did not require the government to act on it, this is largely irrelevant as a legal basis to challenge the government on proceeding with Brexit, as I understand it, despite the fact that the result could be consider as invalid as a result of the action of some of those on the Leave side. It just seems weird to me.

      @@livefreeordie42 she's not really supposed to get involved in politics. It is her government though. She does have the power to intervene but it's seen as incredibly unorthodox to do so nowadays.

    Interesting that there can be a second "meaningful vote" on the same deal after they didn't like the result of the first one, but a second referendum after people got more information on what Brexit means is divisive and wrong. Funny that

      It is because they blame the general public for voting in a way they don't like and so wont do that again.

    First of all, the EU wouldn't approve Article 50 extension and get the UK to involve in EU election. Nobody wants Farage and co in the EU parliament. You can promise an extension Mrs. May
