The EU can only admit members through the process outlined in the TFEU. If it wants to allow seceding regions to join it needs a new TFEU to enable it. Its not going to happen. Scotland is already an admitted member. But the rest of us have to leave the WTO right ? And actually you're wrong Scotlan...

Actually I thought it was only partially so. I was under the impression that there were several different sources of revenue from the oil industry, one of which was a rate applied per barrel extracted. Admittedly that's based on me absorbing some random noise in the background sometime and is proba...

But its not allowing seceding regions to join, it would be allowing seceding regions to remain. That's a huge difference. ...

Are you paid by your government to reply to all those posts that do not agree with Brexit?

You'll have to explain how,youth unemployment in parts of the euro zone is anything to do with Brexit ?

The Spanish have repeatedly and consistently said that they will come out against an independent Scotland joining the EU. methinks if push came to shove the Germans will whip the Spanish in line, aside from anything else it's an absurd position for the EU to be allowing ex-Soviet shitholes to join ...

Anyhow Scotland would need to re-apply to join the EU in the event of leaving the UK. That would take years. It's risky It is, apparently the main reason Sturgeon wants the vote before any actual Brexit takes place. She can go to Brussels with an Indy vote in her pocket and say we are current membe...

I'm not sure Scotland would have to re-apply for EU membership. It has been suggested that Scotland could essentially retain the UK's membership of the EU, while the rest leaves. A " Reverse Greenland ". Lovely, the EU happy with the massive deficit ? Seeing as you bring it up - what massive defici...

The overwhelming consensus of absolutely every credible economic observer was that leaving the EU would result in a non-trivial economic hit.

She's way too early. Another remain in the UK vote then. She will just hold another one in a couple of years. Don't think so. The best she can wish for is May refusing to grant the referendum.

But this is about f**k the ones that are not so lucky even deeper. People with f u ck all have f u ck all to lose. That's why so many voted for change, any change.

I can understand scepticism about AWJ given his lacklustre performances over the past 6 months and the unbelievable competition at lock generally. However, you'd have to be trolling to accuse the Liam Williams selection as left field. Lad has been playing well, had an outstanding summer in NZ and i...

The other fascinating thing is that both parties are offering the unknown! Which probably swings it more in favour of yes. What a mess the UK has become. Our politicians really have made a complete horlicks of it over the last 5/10 years. Set of complete tits. Sturgeon did say the vote will be when...

everyone knew there was a vote on EU membership planned. No they didn't. Indyref1 was in 2014.

It's not a status I agre...

I'm with theo. I just don't see what case the nays can put together this time around. The Conservatives have taken a big steaming dump on most of the promises made to keep aye from winning last time, and there's no more rabbits in that hat. Look at the demographics and polling. Just remind the ABC1...

Does Bacs work with these particular banks? BACS is a UK system, so no. The international equivalent is IBAN. I don't see the point in BACS any more since you can do transfers between UK accounts online, and it is as close to instant as you need it to be. You know those online transfers if inter ba...

EU maybe looking to move towards an EEC style again. That's what this multi speed EU will do. Pity they didn't choose that option 12 months ago. Too little, too late, Jean-Claude...
