Nonsense wrote:Chequers is a 'dead horse' that Theresa MAY has been flogging since her simple miniscule brain dreamt it up.
It flies in the face of reality because, had she even read Martin Shulz's words back in 2016, when he stated, “Secondly, the fundamental freedoms are inseparable, ie no freedom of movement for goods, capital and services, without free movement of persons.”
Had she even understood them she would have known that 'Chequers' was 'pie-in-the-sky' wishful thinking.
True, many EU leaders said that May must have known that Chequers wasn't possible with the EU. I guess her willingness to stay in power is so great that she is grasping at straws.
The latest news is that she is planning another snap election for November. I can't really believe it because the Tories are bound to lose. I guess it's a way of putting pressure on the Tories to align behind the Chequers plan.
Corbyn said that Labour would vote against May's final plan, which pretty much condemns this government. I'm looking forward to a Corbyn government in the not too distant future.
The EU's chief negotiator, Barnier, has said that the only conditions under which the EU may agree to an extension of the Article 50 term are changed political conditions in the UK, such as a new government or another referendum. To continue talks with this government is pointless.
Put another way, Theresa MAY is prepared to sacrifice the U.K on the alter of Tory power at Westminster, by sucking up to the DUP.
Isn't that the essence of all Tory leaders? Their willingness to sacrifice the nation for Tory power? The bit about having to suck up to the DUP is indeed new.
A possible solution to the BREXIT-Irish question, which is equally an E.U 'problem', is for Labour to promise a 'unification' & 'independence' referendum for the Irish within their next election manifesto.
Should the vote result in 'unification'(it would)then, automatically the 'Irish' question would be resolved, as it would then result in ALL of Ireland being a member of the E.U.
Labour doesn't have to promise a referendum on Irish unification. Under the Good Friday Agreement, the Irish have a right to reunification whenever there is a majority in favor. Thus, Westminster couldn't refuse it if it wanted.
Anyways, Labour has just come down against another Scottish independence referendum, which doesn't allow it to promote NI independence reunification since it would serve as precedent for Scottish independence.
@Istanbuller, Bulgarians and Romanians have the same rights of free movement to travel, settle and work anywhere they like in the EU. They will become Schengen members once they fulfill the criteria for Schengen membership.
With tens of thousands of political prisoners and most independent journalist either in exile or in prison, Turkey is one of the blackest spots on the map of civil liberties worldwide.
