Again, you are trying to align everything with a political party, forget red, blue, orange, green etc. etc. forget about Thatcher, Blair, the have nots are just not interested in this rubbish, all the parties have shit on the poor, IMO they (the people) have just said bollox to the lot of you with the out vote. The outvote forces a massive upheaval of the system.
The out vote meant that the have nots are subject to ( if it's possible )) even more odious types in the likes of Boris and Theresa u-turn who's basically enacted UKIP policy.
I can't see much more funding for these areas that voted out can you ? Upheaval means more misery for them in my opinion, can't see this govt visiting Blaenau Gwent soon with any good news.
By the end of the referendum I left a little drained by it all, but voted remain. One of the biggest strengths of a leave vote was the option of being more easily able to negotiate with the wider world but presumably that means the US first and their president is potentially on the road to being impeached.
I still think it was the wrong referendum (taking back control for who? Our political system needs reform as well as the EU and could have been done beforehand) at the wrong time (Trump, Le Pen, Merkel going - all possibilities but we made a decision before knowing) and that feeling hasn't changed.
I can vote my MP out at the next GE. I can't vote out the MP for Chelsea or Amber Valley. Likewise, the people of Glasgow Central are unable to vote out my MP.
I can vote my MEP out at the next election, I can't vote out the MEP for East Anglia, nor the MEP for Paris Central. Likewise, the people of Hamburg (for example), or Glasgow (for example) are unable to vote out my MEP and vote in a German instead.
So, I'm struggling to find out why we were unable to vote for our own MPs during our time in the EU.
I'm told leavers were better informed than me as a remainer, and this issue partially led to you voting to leave - so please educate me. I honestly don't get what you are saying.
You don't though. You get to vote for a single MP. You may be a Tory voter in a safe Labout seat, and so your vote is futile.
In European elections, there is at least an element of proportional representation. In reality, your vote was probably higher weighted in the European elections than it is in U.K. elections! Unless you live in one of the few marginals, the U.K. is as democratic as many single party states.
The EU has been a very convenient scapegoat for many years, certainly throughout my adult life. There's lots wrong with it, it's too full of civil servants (for want of a better phrase) and wastes money for a start, but ask people what EU regulation they're looking forward to living without and there's never an answer.
The truth is that the things that really affect our day-to-day lives, particularly how our money is spent, is mainly down to the government of the day. Whoever that will be is going to have to step up to the plate because there'll be no one else to point the finger at soon.
the point being, the someone in the UK does, If the government implement a massively unpopular law / tax rise etc etc the UK ( or people of the UK ) can vote them out at the next GE, yes i understand that you yourself cannot vote out the MP for Chelsea or Amber Valley, but they can
you ( or anyone else in the UK ) cannot vote out the MEP for Germany / France etc etc
when i say Law and Regulations,
I work with the WAHR and TWAHD, while its a regulation, a police officer is hardly going to come and arrest me for not filling out a Risk assessment and complying with the Regulation
not to mention freedom of movement of labour,child benefits for migrant workers and of course the fishermans woes
ref agreements, we make agreements with the EU over various things, didnt they tell us the motor on hoovers had to be more energy efficient, Fridge / freezers / kettles / hairdryers ( the list goes on ) had to be more efficient
I've googled WAHR and TWAHD but I still have no idea what they are. When you say they are a regulation, are they EU regulations?
Why is it a bad thing for hoover motors, or anything else, to be more energy efficient? Nobody was going to confiscate your old stuff, and the new ones will work just as well - if not better because of advances in technology. Making appliances more energy efficient will save us all money. You've named one of the better things the EU has insisted on.
http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/home-...right/page/0/2Throughout our thorough reviews process, we consistently find that a vacuum's power rating has little impact on suction. Instead, a combination of factors, including motor and cylinder design, whether the bag or bin is full, whether the filters are regularly cleaned and the shape of the vacuum head can all affect how good a vacuum cleaner is at its job. The 1,400w AEG Ultracaptic Animal has the most powerful suction of all the vacuums we've tested to date, outperforming 2,200w machines.
A wattage rating isn't always an indicator of what's being drawn from the plug socket, either; we've seen 2,200W rated vacuums draw less than 1,100w, and 1,000w cleaners exceed their rating by up to 200w. Power draw will depend on the power setting and suction mode of a cleaner, if it has them, as well as motor wattage.
The hoover / fright etc were examples of a agreement
WAHR and TWAHD
appolgises, i often use the acronym, as i use it in work and the people i use it with of course know what it means
