Sorry, who says they are the incorrect ones? You?

Because the learned and trusted seekers of democracy and justice MPs voted that they would (by 6 : 1) adhere to the result. I trust them to deliver what they promise, or where does that leave us?

This was (a) pre-election and (b) in a previous Parliament. You're going to have to come up with a better reason than that I'm afraid.

The lightbulb manufacturers themselves have said that the bulb in your basket will make your room 6% dingier. Before you picked them off the shelf they were saying that the very same bulb will only make your room brighter and more glorious.


BTW this thread has improved so much since the lightbulb analogy came into force.

Well done all!

Have they? Please give examples of this, and please don't say Ireland or Greece.

You nearly said yes, didn't you, and then changed your mind. It's a pity you left the y there as evidence.

So you ask for examples but then exclude two perfect of the examples the [MENTION=21502]Razzoo[/MENTION] could give ? How very EU of you !!!!! OK, Denmark 1992.

For the umpteenth time on this thread, the decision was advisory only, and consequently proved to be corrupt in the High Court February 2019, and admitted by the government's own QC.

You could almost say it is a light bulb moment.

Btw did you know that BG didn't like the EU because of lightbulbs?

So, just so that I understand:

Forgetting the legal side, since Parliament changed then the promise and vote of the MPs to enact the referendum result means jack?

A1X said:

Not quite jack, but not much more. That vote does not bind this Parliament, or any other.

And for the umpteeth time, Parliament voted by a large majority to accept the advise of the referendum,

As you liked that light bulb one, here's another analogy for you:

You're in a bar and you and an attractive woman make eye contact, strike up a conversation, you have a few drinks, everything seems brilliant, then one-thing-leads-to-another and you both agree to go back to hers and upon politely making your excuses and using her en suite bathroom first, you came out to find it's actually a him naked on the bed smiling at you saying - 'Look how much I really want you.' (basically you've done a 'Begbie' in Trainspotting, but worse.)

Remembering all the sweet nothings she'd whispered in your ear earlier that you lapped up and what she'd promised to do you at the bar and that as a result you'd both readily agreed to sleep with each other earlier and now because he's telling you that: 'sex means sex' (Whatever the hell that's going to mean for you.) - would you jump on the bed and still go through with it? Or would you upon realising the rather complicated situation you find yourself in to put it mildly, that differs greatly from the one as envisaged at the bar earlier, would you go back to the en suite bathroom, have a quick rethink and either go ahead as planned earlier in the bar with him as was agreed, or see if there was window to climb out of?

We have a power of veto. - only in some areas
That is why we are no longer going to bail out any other country. - agreed
That is why we still use pounds sterling instead of the euro. - was never a veto thing. Joining was a choice for all the members at the time. All new members have to make provision to join so if we leave and decide to re-join we'll be forced to take the Euro
That is why we still buy and use right hand drive cars. - The EU has never even suggested enforcing the side of the road any member drives on.

There is no EU army unless every single one of the 28 countries agree to it without one veto. - not true. The EU Army will consist of troops from countries that decide they should belong to it. One veto doesn't mean no EU Army - only the country placing the veto won't participate.

You say you are not comfortable with it, but that is because you are believing lies. Lies make you feel something isn't right.
