BREXIT - leave or remain?

Don't you mean...

Lays?

We don't say that word round these parts. Just because they call them something different doesn't mean they aren't Walkers.

No EU negotiating team would even bother to suggest it.

I've always thought Schengen looks good to countries that border each other but doesn't have much to offer a nation with a fairly large moat around it.

The other poster said that Merkel could authorise Germany to open their borders without the consent of the German Parliament, but I do not believe that our Prime Minister has that authority. I am not even sure he can legally close them unless in an emergency.

She cannot authorise it as such. She can order it, but the judicative will check if she was authorised by the legislative to do so.

I'm talking about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Britis...ctic_Territory. I think it's separate from the Falklands.

Yeah it was a joke, the only reason we held onto the Falklands is because we used it as a stop over to get to the Antarctic.

Ofcourse then the Argies invaded and now its a pride thing.

Hopefully we will never find out. But since the UK needs a deal more than the EU does, I wouldn't bet on the UK liking the new deal at all. In fact, I'd bet on them hating it a lot. And everything connected to it. Don't think British sentiments are much of a concern to EU negotiators at this point.

You seem confused as to how negotiations work. The UK is never going to accept Schengen, so nobody will bother to use it as a negotiating tactic.

South Yorkshire best Yorkshire. Rather be from round here than sounding like i'm stuck on half speed all the time like they do in West Yorkshire.

South Yorkshire has the slow accent aka Barnsley

Isn't Reichstag also the name of the parliament (Bundestag+Bundesrat) as a whole?

Nope. Reichstag in recent history is either the Parliament of the pre-1945 era, or the name of the building (which was named after the function as a meeting hall for aforementioned Parliament).

After 1945 it goes a bit like this: Bundestag (US House of Representatives, electorial representation) + Bundesrat (US Senate, that is state representation) = Bundesparlament (both Bundestag + Bundesrat = US Congress).

Edit: Corrected my brain fart about US politics...
Edit 2: Corrected my brain fart about German politics as well... sheesh.

British food is on a par with the likes of Germany and the less bizzare crap they serve in Scandinavian countries, it gets a bad reputation due to comparisons with French food, but they are a bunch of poncey lah-di-da Gunner Grahams.

Incidentally the worst food anyone ever dared to serve me was French food in France.

I live right between Barnsley and Doncaster and I prefer Barnsley's accent.

Yes its still called Reichstagsgebäude but its never called like that in german media here for obvious reasons, most of the times its just called Bundestag.

Depends, if you're talking about the actual building, you will see media use Reichstag. An example is "Protesters gathered in front of the Reichstag". If you're talking about the legislative body, they're saying Bundestag. "The Bundestag was in session today." But they aren't referring to the building, they are referring to the body that was in session.

Doncaster doesn't even have an accent, they just speak in grunts.

Leave. As a romanian I don't want UK to endure our criminals. Send them back to our country, you shouldn't have to handle our issues!

[Noradin]

As much as I get what you and Acidbaron are saying, spare a thought for those of us that want to remain and would go down with the ship if we voted to leave.

We do, that is why we are participarting in this discussion.

After 1945 it goes a bit like this: Bundestag (US congress, electorial representation) + Bundesrat (US senate, that is state representation) = Bundesversammlung (both Bundestag + Bundesrat).

I don't think Bundesversammlung is what I had in mind. From what I know it's a special institution that gathers only every few yearsthat has specific tasks to do (election of the president and other president-related tasks). For example, in Poland there is the lower chamber - Sejm, upper chamber - Senat and together they form Parliament of Poland. But, when both chambers work together (also mostly president-related issus, like taking the oath from the president), they are called the National Assembly, not the Parliament. I think Bundesrversammlung would be the equivalent of Polish National Assembly and not the name for the Parliament itself. But I may be wrong.

I corrected my own idiocy. Please read my post again. Sorry about the confusion, it's been a while since I actually bothered to talk about these terms, usually it's just important to know what Bundestag and -rat do, not what their combination is legally called.
