Default Will you utilise your European Granny?

So if we leave, will you apply for a passport say is you have an Irish Granny so you can have dual nationality thereby affording easy access to Europe if you want to work?

No. My Mum is Irish but what benefit would it bring?
Working in Europe isnt dependant on being in the EU.

Ooh I never thought about this. Both grandparents on my dads side are Irish. So could I apply for dual citizenship?

They moved here in the 50s and I don't know if they became full British citizens or had dual citizenship...

Britons living all around the world are applying for Irish passports to “safeguard their positions” after Brexit, the country’s UK ambassador has revealed.
Daniel Mulhall said many of a record 500,000 applications in the first half of 2017 had come from British people who fear losing their rights to live and work in the EU after withdrawal.
That increase comes on the back of a 40 per cent rise in the number of Britons seeking Irish passports in the second half of 2016, immediately after the EU referendum.
“It’s risen very significantly,” Mr Mulhall told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme. “We have to attribute that to the impact of last year’s referendum.”

Not the same case, but I have my lawyers working for a Romanian passport (grandmother) for the last year so I could move to the UK with EU passport, and now the referendum is making it so tragic for me.
So there's a subjective part in me that really hopes it's going to be a stay, but that's just selfish. But well, whatever will be will be.

You won't have to worry about messing around with passports. The UK will stay in anyway regardless of the vote - Cameron will always get his way, he'll just over-rule the referendum if the outcome is not what he wants.

I thought it was an interesting question let's face it most of the leave campaign has been based speculation so I thought I could join in

A bit of selective vote counting might go on, in my opinion, despite people's insistance that these things "don't happen"... however, if the result is announced as "Exit" then it will not be over-ruled. The implications for western democracy would be insane.

I don't see the fascination with Europe; I'd rather live and work in North America or Australia.

My wife has an ROI grandad in his late 70's but unfortunately he doesn't exist and has no nationality! Hahaha. Well, I think he now (after years of forms) has a British passport, however for most of his life, he was totally non-existant...

Basically he was born and raised in Ireland then came over to England "clothes on his back" style. Never went abroad, only banked locally, never needed ID... for anything... then when he wanted to go abroad, in his 60's, he tried to track down a birth certificate... but he had been born and registered in a tiny nunnery in middle-of-nowhere Ireland, which had later burned to the ground taking all records with it. There's no record of his birth anywhere, OR of him ever having existed, at all, in Ireland .

Funny thing is, if you think of the stereotype of a simple little Irish fella, that's basically him. Like he's the guy they made the "Irish jokes" about.

Other than that, sadly, I don't think either of us have any non-UK connections of any kind. Meh.
