It's not like the Irish _love_ the EU all that much, after the repeated referendums they were forced into.
I'd actually like to see the UK join the US, not sure if I'd like it to be as a state tho
Deep integration maybe
But as a state... we just dont agree enough
Once we're out and once we've recovered from the fact our government hasn't prepared for this like it should have; I'm sure more nations will follow.
I'm sure of it too
customs union with US might work
Greece being one
@leavethisbotnet that I could agree too
That's fair wladfa. I find it humorous in the sense that US is the child of the UK, the UK is getting old and needs their children to look after them.
I think that metaphor works if you awknowledge the long running regeneration that the UK does
We're rather Vampiric.
Like well have a stage of old age, and start to come back a bit
Yaaa
Our children protect us, we protect them
It's all gravy
We love you too son. Even if you are having another one of them... phases.
HA
Let's get FOS and RTBA in our constitution and get down the pub
I can get behind the pub part.
Itd be interesting to get the dollar and the pound bound together and then merge different parts of the economies
Nothing else really matters when you've got a pub.
What would it be? The Dollar Sterling?
I'm sure our banking sector could do some amazing things to each other
Um, I'm thinking the currencies on the street would stay the same but the exchange mechanism pinned
So we bind the two currencies in order to create a monetary union on the base that both banks (FED and BOE) agree with policies
Idk
Reminds me of Red dwarf were the universal currency was dollarpounds
Red dwarf makes accurate prediction
I like this.
I dont think anyone but the extreme left doesnt like the idea of the UK and the US getting closer again
Closer but distinctly separate
Think of the benefits both economies would have on each other
I'm not about to get out of bed with one empire and yeet into another
The indy of each state must be protected
That would be retarded
I agree
seems to me a good move would be to now ask the Northern Irish people in a ref if they are willing to have a separate CU from the UK...
If they vote "no" thats a win for the UK, since it would look bad on the EU to continue pushing.
If they vote "yes", then fair enough, just take a deal with the EU and brexit is done.
Complete agreement, border poll when
I don’t have much faith in our ability to hold a vote now.
I won’t be surprised to see massive amounts of voter fraud in any future referendum or general election
