tbf though we trade a lot with the North since we're part of the same small Island, it's a big issue for us as well as northern Ireland, our government have also been asking about this

Of course, there are a lot of interested parties who want to know what's going to happen and if they will now have to pay tarrifs. But I think those in the Union claiming disaster and nevermores (SNP, Sinn Fein) at this early point do have their agendas as they believe there are bargaining chips to be had as well as any other concerns to their economy about leaving, obviously they want to play as big a part in deciding what goes down as they possibly can.

They may have agendas but it doesn't take away the fact that it's a huge issue for both the ROI and NI. Where I work we deal a fair bit with the North so it will directly affect my job for example

I think we should have a brexit that best suits are future prosperity. Its not something that will ever be set in stone like we had being a member of the EU. It will evolve and adjust with time.

Brexit really isn't a thing as by default, all laws remain as is, they will just be shaped and tweaked as the decades go by. I do mean decades, because anyone that thinks this is short term is kidding themselves.

That's the thing isn't it, it's a new direction or path and we've been on the current one 40 years.

It will, it will have to become statute... that is set in stone basically the view that this is something fluid is wrong.

We don't have decades, we have a small window or the door will shut and we will be left with the WTO (world trade organisation)

for goodness sake Kizzy, did you read what I said? By default the laws all stay as they currently are. If and when a change is required, it will go through as law, so if things don't need to change, they won't. So it could be decades, literally.

In terms of trade deals, it will be agreed on by the government of the time, whether that be conservative, labour or anyone else. The details of trade deals will not be agreed by parliament.

Yes, yes I did.

whatever is deemed by the government of the time to be appropriate. I say that to explicitly include all future governments, because it will be their responsibility to ensure the UK keeps getting the best deals from around the world that it can.

Well well well..

Senior Conservative MPs have seized on a forgotten Government promise to let Parliament decide the response to any referendum result – insisting it must hold true for Brexit.

Ministers agreed, exactly six years ago, that referendums “cannot be legally binding” – which meant MPs and peers should decide “whether or not to take action” on the verdict given by voters.

The unequivocal statement flies in the face of Theresa May’s repeated insistence that her Government, not Parliament, will decide how to deliver Britain’s withdrawal from the EU.

A Tory councillor who called for anyone supporting EU membership to be charged with treason is thought to have been suspended.

Christian Holliday, a councillor in Guildford, Surrey, placed a petition on Parliament’s website demanding that the 1848 Treason Felony Act be updated to include “the following offences”.

They would be: “To imagine, devise, promote, work, or encourage others, to support UK becoming a member of the European Union.
