Brexit debate: What young people really think |  

Absolutely. I’m at 8:30 and there’s a guy saying that the the rest of the world is the future and the EU is a stagnating protectionist economy. Yeah, it is protectionist- of its members. How do these geniuses feel about their standards of living now that they’re stuck outside I wonder.

Lol right. I went back to watch it again

It seems most people have lost their minds and a terrible future is what they want to happen!

Where can you see how the English Voted ? We have many people and should be heard every bit as much as our Celtic cousins

@@LabRat6619And what is a terrible future?

@@Lolp821 a terrible future is one with much higher unemployment than we currently have. A future of more homeless and social injustice than we have today. Our beloved Tory party do NOT endorse socialist type means of support by definition. Our much loved Tory leader want EVERYONE to support themselves with, job, private pensions, private healthcare. All they will do reap and spend our taxes. You think the Eurocrats are bad but overlook the monsters we have in government.

@Oswald Mosley Hahahahahahahaaaa!!!!

I can understand that Carol, May I call you Carol ? but one thing you do not understand is, these are children ! most live at home, or live on campus , most have not lived long enough to know the world we live in, they have never paid taxes in there lives ! and yet most like the young man said " 18 year old's to 24 year old's voted to stay " in Europe. they have not had the life experience to make that kind of decision for the rest of us, that is something that bothers me a bout young voters,I do like that more young people are getting involved in there future, I just do not agree that this referendum should have let 18 year old's to vote at all. 25, that is when they should get the vote, work, pay taxes, get some experience a bout life and what it means to pay taxes, and get out of daddy's basement and go to work for a living, even college kids, these privileged never worked a day in there life because mommy and daddy are millionaires, makes me sick, and they all have big mouths ! and opinions, but tell me Carol, what have any of these children contributed to Britain ? nothing ! maybe one day, but not this day Carol. I do like there enthusiasm, but that is what these Colleges do ! people should earn the right to vote ! not have it handed to them because there 18. not on issues that effect a whole Country. I can smell the baby powder off my computer ! If I had my way only the poor and middle class would vote, that way money and bribery would never be an issue ! would it Carol ?

Hi Jean, your right ! but most older people have worked and payed there fair share to Government coffer's, these kids are to spoiled these days, take a way there iPhone and they would be lost ! wise has nothing to do with voting. unless it is for the person YOU want in office. and if they do not, I guess they are not wise ? is that what your telling me ???

Excuse me, but if they are now old enough to vote, then they are adults . If they want a second referendum because they missed the first, what happens in 3 or 4 years when the next lot of students feel the same way. This could go on ad infinitum.

@@arrow-lo7jf well said!!!

cause most of them didt go thought debate school yet

In democracy you will sometimes have to re-vote. You re-vote your government as well after few years should UK not do that and be dictatorship then? I thought the point of or one point of Brexit was to get better democracy and than indirect democracy in EU not worse.

@@lauri2010 : Yes, but you have to enact the result of the first vote before you can consider having another one, otherwise it's not democratic at all.

That is why we have general elections every 4 years.

@@lauri2010 Waited 43 years since the last one. I suggest we wait another 43 years before we do this all again 😬

@boson96 So why didn't we have this referendum years ago? Or more especially when we actually joined the EU in 1993? We could have left many years ago! Why is there such a problem with having it now too? Referendums are different, once in a lifetime as said by David Cameron.

spot on these people are dumb they dont read enough and haven't studied well enough in school

James yup, deffo..

Well it'll get me out walking

@my name is my name how so? It's an abstract, but not a straw Man. What about the "we didn't get to vote back then" wouldn't apply to the next guy down the line? The date was set, those who could vote did, they knew it was a once in a lifetime event and the people spoke. Asking for runbacks because they didn't like the result is clearly dumb. The people voted whether or not to leave, it was win or lose, and we all knew it would be a onve in a lifetime, yes or no ending. GGWP, but hold that L.

Referendum: 0 no 0 yes Would be the best.

Issue here us its never "balenecd"

😂😂😂

You lost and you did get over it. Gotta respect that.

@@drahcirnevarc9152 Intesting, how somehow voting, has now been equated to being on the winning or losing side, not just I would like this and I voted for it and it did not happen oh well time to move on, oh dear, but nooooo it's oh you lost or I am winner and that means I am better than you and so on and so on. Sad how this has deeply polarized our country, but that's what we get for letting Putin fund discontent and far right politics throughout europe.

@@KittenisKitten Voting has always been a winning vs losing contest. The winner gets their will enacted, the loser doesn't. However, I don't think the winners are better than the losers at all. As for the polarization of our country, it is because Brexit has yet to happen so the contest has not ended. Once we leave the polarization will end when the fighting stops and everyone comes back together. I feel like you voted remain, if you did then how would you feel a few years after leaving the EU?

@@KittenisKitten As I am sure you are aware, the climate of political debate in the UK since the EU Referendum has been somewhat rancorous and vituperative. Speaking myself as a Leave-voter, I have become habituated to being told that I didn't know what I was voting for, that I was lied to, and that I am a thick, knuckle-dragging, little-Englander racist - which is fairly ironic, as I'm actually an immigrant with a Philosophy PhD, and speak four languages. A common response of Leavers to being patronised and abused in this way by Remainers has been the phrase "you lost, get over it." I modified this phrase in my response to abdul PATEL's comment, because his comment was neither patronising nor abusive, and I respect him for this. Your comment about Putin has absolutely no bearing on present proceedings as far as I can see.

We need to preserve democracy. At any cost. From a 20 year old who also voted remain.

It was Tommy's face on the side of Boris' big red bus don't you know ;)

Good trade deals with the EU perhaps? Representing the majority of our trade?

Dudemar of our total trade only about 12-16% is exports, of our exports 43% is with the EU, of our total trade only about 5-7% is with the EU. You’re being lied to. How does that further breakdown you ask? Of the remaining 57% about 55% is under WTO framework using tariffs imposed by the EU, meaning the majority of our goods we export are on tariffs set not by us but by the EU, this also applies to our imports, again the majority of our imports are not with the EU, however those imported goods are more expensive than they should be thanks to EU imposed tariffs and there are also quota limits set again by the EU. You always hear about the group of a few hundred businesses who say leaving will be a disaster, what they omit is that you don’t hear that from the over 2.2 million businesses that are in the UK who are ALL affected by EU imposed rules, regs, standards and ECJ rulings even though they don’t trade with the EU...again, the media and 75% pro-EU Parliament are lying to you. Do you want to talk about EU funded King College London based “Gov assessments” or EU funded CBI claims that base their findings of doom based on blockages at ports (which ALL the authorities will say will not happen any more than normal if no deal) or on the basis that the Government will do NOTHING to mitigate any risks, basically the lying MPs who push these disaster claims are saying to you they will do NOTHING to advert disaster, given that ofc they will act you can safely assume it will no longer be a disaster as they claim (lie), worst, they are knowingly lying to you.

1. The terms and conditions for what happened after was supposed to be the deal that was left to a person who was so obviously biased Against brexit. Politicians on your side have been fighting against a democratic decision for 2 years and then you don’t understand why there’s no deal like honestly you are ridiculous 2. In what country do people who are not citizens of the country have a right to vote ? Completely invalid and nonsensical point 3. Expats did actually have a way to vote so again invalid and nonsensical 4. What other options could there be??? Like honestly mate are you this thick ? Do you want to leave the EU...? Yes or no those are the only options. None of you mugs were crying this much when Scotland voted to stay yet it was the same exact thing just one you agree with aand the other you don’t. You’re just repeating BS talking points being fed to you by ignorant politicians. Why wouldn’t you want another referendum ?? Because that’s not how democracy works, you voted for something and your side lost, now accept the terms and move on with your life. How petty can you people really get. Like it’s borderline childish at this point.

*Checks channel* Yep, you're a yank. Keep to your side of the Atlantic, please.

@Kevin Burrow Mate,you just replied to someone with a 'name" like that! Do you have eyes in your head?

Feel like it's the other way round

UK was crumbling mostly proven facts that those are caused by your OWN Government. Stepping out the EU will not get rid of the government. Also the EU isn't going anywhere it's here to stay and the EU nations are all pro EU especially now.

@@HermanWillems What , you mean like Italy, Hungary, Poland, France etc, yeah they are all for it , thus the rise of right wing parties lol.

@Mark Evans What's your point?

@Mark Evans The Scots had an independence Referendum in 2014, in which they voted to stay part of the UK by a margin of 2m to 1.62m. The SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon, who is the 1st Minister of the devolved Scottish Parliament, has been trying to engineer a 2nd Referendum, although her efforts in this respect have been blamed for the SNP's loss of seats in the UK's 2017 General Election. So it's really not clear that the Scots as a whole now wish to leave the UK. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proposed_second_Scottish_independence_referendum

@Mark Evans "A lot can change in 5 years." Well maybe Nicola Sturgeon will get her Referendum once things have settled down after Brexit. And then we may find that people have changed their minds again. The bigger point is that you can't just hold referenda every time something changes. We live in a representative democracy, in which referenda have to be rare events. Otherwise who's to say that, if they voted for independence tomorrow, the Scots wouldn't be demanding readmission to the Union in 5yrs time if things didn't work out because, say, the oil price collapsed again, or they found they couldn't do without the Barnett money. "You really haven't seen the atmosphere here. They all want to stay in the EU." Well I'll have to take your word for it.

@Mark Evans Well that's just what happens when (i) an empire hinders a nation's assertion of its independence, and (ii) the nation's quisling political leadership neglects to carry out the will of its people, and to undertake the preparations necessary for independence. "Who said immigrants are taking jobs?!" I am an immigrant myself, so it ill behoves me to be anti-immigration. The point is that the numbers need to be controlled, because big business is using mass immigration to drive wages down, and mass immigration is also ramping up demand for housing, with the inevitable effect this has on housing cost. "The Tories took my DLA then my housing benefit and now they want to take away my fucking job!" Firstly, you've changed the subject. I thought we were discussing the impact of Brexit on Scottish independence aspirations. Now you want to turn it into a rant against the Tories. Secondly the Tories don't WANT to take your job. They inherited a massive debt and deficit from Gordon Brown after he allowed public spending to get out of control, and it's taken them over a decade to get public spending under some sort of control. If you want to question their competence, go ahead, I probably won't argue with you. In contrast, the paranoid attribution of malign intentionality is just an exercise in futility.

@Mark Evans At the risk of repeating myself, you decided not to take your country back a few years ago. Maybe you'll change your minds in due course and decide to leave the UK, and do you know what? We'd rather you stay because we like you, but if you really want to leave, we won't impede your departure. So stop getting so angry about it.

Yep we are entertaining :)

Don't forget to pay us

Why shouldn't a nation assert its independence against an empire? I guess you're too young to remember the Prague Spring in 1968, and the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.

For what reasons?

ukguy How would that improve your life? You would have fewer chances, for example, access to a free of charge university in a European country, or the automatic right to work and protection there if an opportunity came up, or retirement wherever you'd choose.

Femi is backed by the one and only George Soros via his foundations. If you haven't watch the Katie Hopkins interview where Femi's "handler" has to call time on the questioning as Katie wants to know who is funding his campaign.

It is actually pretty infuriating how incapable you are of understanding how you can't just leave the EU without any deal, or a deal which harms UK economy. This is the best possible deal, and the reason you think it's too soft is because the UK actually benefits from being a EU member. The UK benefits from trading with and having close relations to the EU. You just need to get that in your head.

Julian Nikolay Krogh-Fredriksen can’t leave? Why not?

Young and naive!

doubtful, i saw 0 hoodies, 0 knives and 0 pregnant girls ;)

That's enough out of you Karl

They don't seem particularly posh either though.

Uni students in Leeds, maybe not

We all work.........so we're all working class.

i know this is unrelated but have you noticed the guy's nose? 21:01

first person to start shooting was a leaver

@@oneminutefixed5003 that's a brexiters nose.

No, just people wanting to express their views. People can agree on something and not be part of a hivemind

They seem like public school kids, irrespective of the above, just listen to the accents.

It would be interesting, but it's very difficult for most people to admit to themselves, let alone the entire country, that they were wrong or they had any part to play in the resultant damage.

Sorry, you have it mislabeled, it is: Remain, Insane (May), or Leave. The vote probably ends up 45, 10, 35, which is the objective.

May's deal is technically a trade deal that comes into effect immediately after Brexit. No deal is just tearing the band-aid off slowly.

@Brexit Monger : Spot on.

As a Pro-EU and EU member. I just hope you get your NO-DEAL. I want to see that what they have anticipated what would happen actually really happens.

@@HermanWillems - You are EXACTLY why we are leaving. You're utter arrogance and intent to see us as punished because we don't want any of your exclusive club any more. I can't wait to leave. Once we do other countries will look at us and think "hold on, they were okay...the EU are lying to us" and so the fake empire begins to fall. Its all because of your arrogance that somehow you believe your way of life is better instead of leaving us to it. We left the EU because you simply cannot demonstrate why staying is such a good thing - after all this time we still don't know why we need a "members golf club". Enjoy it whilst it lasts Herman - I'm sure you'll be inviting an African immigrant into your home as you expect others to do so around Europe (hypocrite). Enjoy being Europes cuckhold too - I'm sure you'll love watching all those wonderful German girls hooking up with your new middle eastern or African friends. Great job fucking Sweden in the process as well. Your "club" is going fantastic work.

stay down under with the sheila gran bastardo, do you firmly believe as well in unicorns? this is not a negotiation, EU dictate terms according to Theresa may self imposed red lines, it doesn't matter if its theresa may, res moogs or superman there was only one deal available on the table and its the one UK got, Brussels doesn't negotiate, Brussels dictate terms because they can, its what happen in business when you separate the men from the boys

I agree on all counts Bastardo! :)

Nope, here in the Netherlands(Biggest and proud NET conributor to the EU) we see clearly that our taxes go to good things. We have fantastic road quality. I can't remember the last time i have seen a pothole in the road for like 10 years! Also.. many other things. It could sometimes be better and more efficiënt. But we are doing pretty well. But what you say about the taxes.... is about your Countries government not the EU. You didn't vote your shitty government out of the parliament. haha If you really got a Job like me you see that trading with foreign countries is important and to earn money. We can't earn money that great without the EU single market. I can clearly see that my company would be worse off without the EU. Why can't you see that with the company you work at? Also the EU isn't either left or right.

No minimum majority was set pre referendum and everyone who voted was aware of that. To say what should have happened after the fact, is nonsensical. The only people who use that argument are remain voters as they cannot accept that more people voted for the side they didn't. Britain never voted to join the EEC or the EU. We were put into both without the electorate voting for it. The EEC Referendum was to determine whether to leave the EEC or retain membership of it.

The guy was choking, he just savvily saved him from the pressure situation.

so what you are saying is we should keep voting untill it suits remainers grow up and get a life thats not democratic thats dictatorship just like the failing EU

if only some experts had warned them!

The young will always follow the strong.

@@mrhanky-panky133 What about the facts? Do you have no concern for them?

@Chief Sunnah My comment was on FACTS. What has your comment go to do with them?

@Satya Nanda You are not a fan of the facts it seems.

@ligik100 we have won even if brexit is stopped, if anything I'm hoping brexit is stopped.

“Conservatives”, you fool. Conservatives like neoliberalism.

I imagine if their views had chimed more with your own you'd have considered it representative 🙄

agreed

They should be out exploring and playing not worrying about adult life. Adults make the rules not kids.

@@ratours9531 they are adults though

yes adults on wellfare for 20 years can vote but young adults the future can not? hahaha

John its definitely like 5 years and not consecutively. There are 4 states with no limits.

@Brexit Monger Looks like he might be looking for his first job in march, I think mcDonalds is hiring

Which part? At 11:10 they made a good show of talking loud, but accidentally countered their own points regarding medical imports.

Noordeman exactly!! We are Britain we should not be afraid of anything 😎 et bien sur j'espère que la France est la prochaine pays qui quitte l'UE!!

The referendum was not binding. There is no legal requirement for parliament to do what the referendum says.

There is no legal requirement to honour the vote. Keyword there: Honour. I agree with you Jeremiah. Another vote would be a bad move for many reasons. Hello from the UK, looks like you've been visiting round these parts :)

@@davebuchan81 I hope to live in London sometime soon! Believe it or not, I actually have a bit of British blood, so I have family there too ^~^

Get over it we r leaving on the 31jan 2020 ring the bells go on BORIS
