Re: the mood in your area
OK, putting political/social tensions aside, once we leave the dictatorial stranglehold of the EU (not my belief, but let's say that for argument's sake), what laws do you want repealed/changed?
I've had discussions with folk before about "that damned human rights act" (ECHR was not part of EU but why confuse reality with fact) and asked which of the dozen or more basic rights they'd want to get rid of? Freedom from slavery, freedom from the state unlawfully executing you? Apart from some of the rather bonkers stuff regarding fishing quotas and similar, I'm really not sure what laws "imposed" on us by EU directive we would want rid of that we couldn't do ourselves anyway. Any suggestions? I'm genuinely interested in understanding exactly what it is that folk expect or wish for that will affect our day to day lives.

Re: the mood in your area

Re: the mood in your area
That's the question I have about the desire to regain "sovereignty". What exactly do folk want that we haven't been able to do up to now? What laws do we have forced on us by the EU that should be got rid of? What laws should we have that the EU has prevented us from having? I don't have any answers, but folk cited sovereignty as a big thing and I'm just looking for one or two real life examples of what we hope for or want so I can understand where we are going.

Re: the mood in your area
The rich elites are pushing hard for Brexit because of this: https://ec.europa.eu/taxation_custom...e-directive_en
The rich elites own the government, the BBC, the print media and use it to bombard the masses with their hateful lies and propaganda. We're being lied to and unfortunately far too many are swallowing it all up. |

Get rid of political parties. We don’t need them and their antiquated school tie ways. Each constituency has representatives. The public would vote on who they like and the winner becomes that constituency CD (Constituency Director) Each region has representatives out with the CD members. The public would vote on who they like and the winner becomes that region RO (Regional Organiser) The whole country has a number of representatives out with the CD and RO members. The public would vote on who they like and the winners become the country’s main head figures e.g. PMND (Prime Ministerial Nation Director), FND (Financial Nation Director) so on and so on. The CD are the people at the front line who the public guide in what they would like done. All the CD of a region report back to the RO who then contacts the appropriate “Nation Director” for the funding. Not having political parties people would have to vote on track record and who they actually want to do the jobs. Basically every single role in the proposed new government is voted in by the people via a majority. You cant get fairer than that. Get rid of the Lords… hangeroner inbred azzwipes who think they are better than the public as they have titles. Instead have a jury of public to decide on if laws and such should pass. After all the laws are to govern the people so why should the people not have a say on whats good or not for them. |

Re: the mood in your area
Great idea but you'd just end up with secret agreements between groups of CDs aka parties, but no longer up front.
Overviews are easy - it's the actual implementation details where most sensible suggestions fall down. Brexit included.
