Alot has happened in the Brexit debate, even to summarise it here would take a long time. Right now the commonsn vote has been deferred into January. This seems to be a ploy to 'run out the clock' so that MPs are forced to chose between the 'negotiated' deal or no deal. To have a #peoplesvote there would need to be a law passed and there would be little or time to do that.
If it were a binary choice as implied then i would vote for no deal and take the hit, the 'deal' that has been negotiated is a trap which just defers the pain until a year or two later. Whenever we would leave we'd end up taking the blame for anything that happens including political violence.
All we can hope for today is that when the MPs do vote, they vote it down which in turn somehow leads to rescinding Article 50 or extending it. Again i could imagine extending would be the default option because it probably doesn't require a law to be passed and 'kicks the can down the road' (as any committee tends to do when faced with opposing views of the future).
I've supported the #peoplesvote campaign in a few small ways including posting leaflets to let people know what it is. I really like the way the campaign doesn't have any strong political views other than we need to have a vote because we've all learnt alot more. Lets hope it works.
Finally the EU itself has recommended that in the even of a No Deal there should be a period of Visa free travel, who knows how effective that would be. In any case, even if this whole process were cancelled i would be glad to be working on this project
Just before Christmas:
- I've recieved my grandfathers 'late registration of birth'
- I've recieved his new birth certificate
This means that I or my siblings can now in turn apply for our own late registration and then subsequently a passport.
