Revoke article 50 petition just needs a few more votes to pass 6 million !

[tenredthings]

If you haven't signed yet, but would like to press pause on Brexit please add your name to the this petition. The numbers are large enough for it to really make a difference when MP's vote on different ways forward on Monday.

Let's see how many millions of foreign names are on it
Good Lord! Are you suggesting that people with surnames that originate outside the British isles aren’t British enough to vote? . Do fuckiff out of my country will you.

itwould

I think that's exactly whats being suggested

Luckily i have a very english name so will deffo be allowed to vote in future referendums

Unlike farage, and that francois bloke

It’s a disgusting sentiment and whoever thought it up should think less no and hard about what they think being British is.

Even if one million of them are bogus, that's still one or two that aren't.
And how many have signed the no Deal one I have seen kicking about?

Dunno bellini

But do they all have English surnames??

Surely thats the important question

"So let me get this right, you choose not to live here, but you think you've got a right to say what happens here?"

I am British. I paid taxes for over 25 years in Britain before moving to Europe as was my right with free movement. I was denied a right to vote yet the result is stripping me of all the rights I have built my present life on and yet you think I shouldn't have a say in my future ! Its not just about what happens in the Uk, the negative Brexit consequences stretch way further than just the British Isles.

This Government will not revoke Article 50. We will honour the result of the 2016 referendum and work with Parliament to deliver a deal that ensures we leave the European Union."

Fortunately Mrs May also said a few days ago that Leave voters voted for the pain.
The unicorns are off the menu by the way, it is shit for the next 20 years or more.

Posted on another thread.
Our EU friends are watching this petition.

But you've moved away, very few people care how you are affected now

sonly

I think it was you who mentioned it first

I assume you dont mean everyone when you say those that leave the country for however little time should lose their voting rights

Of course not but some are away for years and years made a home of their new countries. What's it got to do with them what life is now like back here

Thank you for answering the question somly

I think probably the years and years is the sticking point

Of course not but some are away for years and years made a home of their new countries. What's it got to do with them what life is now like back here

After 'years and years' they can't vote any more.

And if they live in the rest of the EU they are the most affected. Why wouldn't you want them to have a say?

But you've moved away, very few people care how you are affected now

Quite a callous comment that. If you move away for yeaes but can't for whatever reason take on the citizenship of that other country then you might end up entirely disenfranchised and without any representation anywhere. I don't think any country should simply leave its citizens stranded or somehow disown them.
Plus, in the case of the ref, this was on an issue that was going to have massive implications for the British in the EU.

If being British is so important to them then why leave and make a new life somewhere

“But you've moved away, very few people care how you are affected now”

I care! And so do millions like me!

If being British is so important to them then why leave and make a new life somewhere

Is voting based on how important your Britishness is to you? Or is it a basic human right based on citizenship? People are voting on whether we get to be members of a bloc that is extremely powerful, very wealthy and where lots of British people live. If you live in France or Spain, your EU membership is very important. And lots of people leave to work for a while and come back. Or work in the UK and retire somewhere else.

Part of the issue is that there are lots of English people who just sit where they live and cannot understand why people move anywhere. The Scots and Irish have always moved for work. They very very much carry on being Scottish or Irish. That's just in the UK. Many other cultures move for work and still consider themselves part of their original culture while part of the new one as well.

Why does not being in the UK mean you aren't British, if you are?

It’s a bit like family. You can move out of your hometown to study, or for work or love, but you haven’t stopped being part of your family. In fact you could live elsewhere for many many years and most people wouldn’t assume you’re no longer part of the family.

{If being British is so important to them then why leave and make a new life somewhere}

You have a disgusting, self centred, small minded, antisocial mindset.
Why should anyone want to help you in the future?

So my vote should have been based on people who leave?

sonly

I dont get it

Who said that

"people who leave". Who leave what? Do you lose UK citizenship if you live and work outside the UK?
Seriously. What is that all about?

Your vote should have been based on what will give strongest securest most prosperous future for our country and our children. It’s a stupid stupid waste of all our work to leave in this ridiculous feckless manner. We ALREADY know we have a problem going forward supporting our top heavy aging population, we ALREADY know cleaning up the environment and switching to new ways of doing things is going to be a gargantuan effort. Why on earth would anyone want to make it harder?
