[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 1109703, member: 56232"] One of my pet peeves in both Brexit and the Scottish independence situation is people asserting things will happen they don't actually have the power to decide. Scotland doesn't get to decide if free movement to England remains or not (it likely will and should but it requires both parties approval.) They can argue they would want it to stay and would push for it but can't assert it simply as fact. Before the referendum they were asserting they would keep the pound and still have a say in the monetary policy of it, even though it would not be their currency at all (and going back to the hypocrisy where they said the pound was a millstone around the neck of Scotland, only to later assert they would not only keep it but also dictate the policy for it). The same with the Brexit lot asserting all sorts of things would happen that they didn't actually have the power to do. I wish people would see through this bullshit more. Once side cannot assert something that requires a second party's approval, a party they are likely to be at loggerheads with. [/QUOTE]
