No. They could have overspent by 10x as much and the fine would have been the same, and the two people referred to the prosecution service can only get up to 3 years in prison. There's nothing in UK law which requires a mandatory nullification of the result. The law is a hang over from an earlier time, when the dubiously elected would step down - out of shame and a sense of honour.Seabass wrote:Does this mean Blighty might get a mulligan?

Re: Hard Brexit or Hard Brexit
Deal with Japan signed:
EU and Japan sign historic free trade deal after rush to agree terms before Brexit
EU and Japan sign historic free trade deal after rush to agree terms before Brexit
Fuck you Trump.Experts say UK on its own is unlikely to improve on the deal, which will remove virtually all tariffs and covers a third of the global economy
The European Union and Japan are signing a widespread trade deal that will eliminate nearly all tariffs, seemingly defying the worries about trade tensions set off by President Donald Trump's policies.

Re: Hard Brexit or Hard Brexit
It's taking so long I thought for sure you guys were just stalling to find a way out. Now that most people don't want it and it hasn't happened, why can't you back out of it?

Re: Hard Brexit or Hard Brexit
The Brexiteers Sean want out at all cost. The EU is going to introduce swinging taxes on off shore accounts. The Brexiteers have billions stashed away there and are protecting their money (including May). Moggsy would lose billions. They could not care bugger all about the country.

Re: Hard Brexit or Hard Brexit
A referendum can only be called by the government, which now sees it's slim numerical majority supported by a coalition with the political wing of the old testament (DUP) slipping further to a mere three votes on Brexit matters. The prime minister's desire to maintain some semblance of party unity, a prerequisite for retaining the reigns of power, means thst her party is now in hock to a relatively small number of Brexitarian hardliners (about 30). The Tories craven desire for power, backed by an internal system that reinforces an ethos of born-to-rule superiority (and which the hardliners epitomise), supercedes all other considerations, including the fact that if the vote was held today the majority of the population would vote the other way.Sean Hayden wrote:It's taking so long I thought for sure you guys were just stalling to find a way out.

Re: Hard Brexit or Hard Brexit
Yet, their "born-to-rule" ethics, if you can call it that, totally doesn't jive with asking the Great Unwashed their minds about any matter of importance, or any matter at all for that matter.

They think they will looks like twats if they do, not realising that they do anyway.
I'm not speaking of the good, decent English people who didn't support Brexit. Naturally.

Re: Hard Brexit or Hard Brexit
The reason is there is no way out. The referendum was conclusive and a U turn on that decision is not going to happen.
How long this can go on for though is anyone's guess. May is staggering from one vote in Parliament over this, giving ground to one side and then the other. The reason she is doing so is not because she agrees with the amendments to the proposed agreement with the EU being put forward by both sides but because she knows if a vote on any part of her legislation is lost in Parliament there would be a high risk of a vote of no confidence in the Government being passed and that would very likely result in a new (possibly Labour) government. Labour are as divided as much as the Conservatives however.
They have goty themselves - and us - in a real pickle.

Re: Hard Brexit or Hard Brexit
Yeah, conclusive but one side cheated and lied and are supported by every shitty little xenophobe group in the country .

Re: Hard Brexit or Hard Brexit
To be fair I have. Not everyone who voted leave it a racist - I'm sure. Most however tend to be little Englanders with little imagination and some vague sense that if they voted leave we would end up with some version of 'England' as it actually never really was in the 1950s.

Re: Hard Brexit or Hard Brexit
May was going to bring the summer recess forward to this Thursday, but she was scuppered by members of her own party. I don't think there's anymore to be said about her 'strong and stable' approach to governance - she's lost the farm.
