No we're not?
We're a member of the European Union.
We should be
We voted to be
Which is why i want to Leave
> 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
As long as it meets some requirements
Policy that WE have the ability to veto.
European Communities Act makes the law passed by MEP's superior to our own
We can veto ANY EU legislation, if we don't, we're fine with it.
actually we did not vote to be part of the EU
Yet our PM has the ability to veto any legislation @The Electric Lizard
We did @wacka
This again lol
we joined the EEC ... and voted to stay in that
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.
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
And then voted in governments and a parliament which accepted the expansion of the EU @wacka
So yes. We voted.
then it became the EU... and EVENTUALLY we got a vote on it and chose to leave
We had elected members there at EVERY stage of the process @wacka
every campaigning PM back to tony blair promised a referendum on the EU
Actually, just allow people who pay income tax to vote, whatever age
we voted them in because they were going to give us a vote on the EU
only one actually delivered on that... and we voted leave
we dont even let 16yr olds watch game of thrones
It depends on the person
I'd let them
Some 16 years olds will know enough and be mature enough to vote
to quote sargon "depends on the child" ๐
Well in this case it does
.
Personally I'd only let people in employment and home owners vote
16 year olds can work
Be taxed
I say only landowners can vote
And many are just as informed or more than the 80 year olds
Yeah, if you work I'm inclined to say that you can vote
Bring it right back to the last civil war the UK had
