Who can vote against our MEP's

2019-10-29 18:52:39 UTC  

I'd like to have the EU AND China fuck off a bit, I don't know why it has to be one or the other.

2019-10-29 18:52:45 UTC  

So? That's democracy @The Electric Lizard

2019-10-29 18:53:15 UTC  

We are an independent nation, We should not be forced to adopt policy because of people elected by other nations

2019-10-29 18:53:21 UTC  

> We are an independent nation

2019-10-29 18:53:23 UTC  

No we're not?

2019-10-29 18:53:29 UTC  

We're a member of the European Union.

2019-10-29 18:53:30 UTC  

We should be

2019-10-29 18:53:38 UTC  

We voted to be

2019-10-29 18:53:40 UTC  

Which is why i want to Leave

2019-10-29 18:53:51 UTC  

> We should not be forced to adopt policy because of people elected by other nations
We have the ability to implement policy as we see fit

2019-10-29 18:53:57 UTC  

As long as it meets some requirements

2019-10-29 18:54:03 UTC  

Policy that WE have the ability to veto.

2019-10-29 18:54:14 UTC  

European Communities Act makes the law passed by MEP's superior to our own

2019-10-29 18:54:15 UTC  

We can veto ANY EU legislation, if we don't, we're fine with it.

2019-10-29 18:54:16 UTC  

actually we did not vote to be part of the EU

2019-10-29 18:54:31 UTC  

Yet our PM has the ability to veto any legislation @The Electric Lizard

2019-10-29 18:54:33 UTC  

We did @wacka

2019-10-29 18:54:37 UTC  

This again lol

2019-10-29 18:54:38 UTC  

we joined the EEC ... and voted to stay in that

2019-10-29 18:54:43 UTC  

I have complete contempt for those wanting to allow 16-17 years old the vote, and EU nationals. Only British Adults should be allowd to vote. Either wait to be an adult, or become a British Citizen.

2019-10-29 18:54:50 UTC  

We can veto it, But our MP's have been shown to lie about their position on the EU so i wouldn't be surprised if against the publics wishes the Government decided to give away our veto

2019-10-29 18:54:53 UTC  

And then voted in governments and a parliament which accepted the expansion of the EU @wacka

2019-10-29 18:54:56 UTC  

So yes. We voted.

2019-10-29 18:54:58 UTC  

then it became the EU... and EVENTUALLY we got a vote on it and chose to leave

2019-10-29 18:54:59 UTC  

Up the voting age to 21

2019-10-29 18:55:24 UTC  

We had elected members there at EVERY stage of the process @wacka

2019-10-29 18:55:27 UTC  

every campaigning PM back to tony blair promised a referendum on the EU

2019-10-29 18:55:29 UTC  

Actually, just allow people who pay income tax to vote, whatever age

2019-10-29 18:55:43 UTC  

we voted them in because they were going to give us a vote on the EU

2019-10-29 18:56:03 UTC  

only one actually delivered on that... and we voted leave

2019-10-29 18:56:40 UTC  

we dont even let 16yr olds watch game of thrones

2019-10-29 18:56:48 UTC  

It depends on the person

2019-10-29 18:56:54 UTC  

I'd let them

2019-10-29 18:57:00 UTC  

Some 16 years olds will know enough and be mature enough to vote

2019-10-29 18:58:05 UTC  

to quote sargon "depends on the child" ๐Ÿ˜›

2019-10-29 18:58:19 UTC  

Well in this case it does

2019-10-29 18:58:50 UTC  

.

2019-10-29 19:01:11 UTC  

Personally I'd only let people in employment and home owners vote

2019-10-29 19:01:14 UTC  

16 year olds can work
