I remember when politics was dull and boring and mostly about building new trains and poo poo, and nobody had to put up with rollercoasters of stress and chaos on a daily basis. Bring back the tedious old farts who did nothing!

Yes, I've paid shitloads of taxes in the UK. Sorry I didn't realise paying taxes was a pre-requisite of democracy. I guess you'd be happy if everyone on benefits couldn't vote?

jBrereton posted:I'm very happy for people on benefits to vote. I'm not particularly impressed by people who've chosen to walk away also feeling like they deserve to be listened to like everyone else, especially when they don't actually pay into our tax system to help us out ("I've paid" is a particularly choice evasion). I lived in london and met my wife who is a dirty foreigner who was able to live here thanks to the EU. She was made redundant 4 times in the space of 2 years, she was informed by the UK government that she wasn't eligible for benefits due to being a disgusting foreigner and we ran out of money were eventually forced to move back to her home country because her parents offered to help out (my parents are dead so they couldn't help out). I continued to work remotely for a British company paying British taxes while we got back on our feet. I'm against Brexit because it could end up splitting up my family if a no deal brexit removes my ability to live here and get medical assistance. I'm sorry poor people wanting democracy hurts your feelings lol

The other side of that is people who have walked away because it is currently Inconvenient to partake in our society but who will return when they feel like it, perhaps when the country is less lovely maybe. That also is undue influence on our politics even if for a handful of people who are Somewhat Here there is a sympathetic backstory.

well there is a point in blaming the boomers for everything wrong with the world, since they voted for all of it, but it is an impressive level of dissonance to immediately go "if only we could ban these expats from having UNDUE INFLUENCE on ur politics". first you say the problem is people voting the wrong way (since democracy is bullshit and all), and then you propose to fix this by only letting the right people vote. yeah thats gonna turn out british

you know i think the 1.3m Britons working in the EU, all of whom face the very real possibility of losing their right to work, benefits, visas, and even homes following a No Deal Brexit, might have an incy wincy bit of "skin in the game." But hey, maybe they should have thought about that before putting such petty notions as "love" or "gainful employment" above gammon island
