Melech 9,900 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 "In the EU referendum, London was overwhelmingly in favour of the UK staying with its union-mates, the Remain vote in some parts reaching over 70 per cent. This split between capital and country has led some to suggest London go it alone and be made eligible to apply for EU membership as a city. “London is an international city, and we want to remain at the heart of Europe,” a change.org petition states. “Let's face it - the rest of the country disagrees… so let's make the divorce official and move in with our friends on the continent. “This petition is calling on Mayor Sadiq Khan to declare London independent, and apply to join the EU - including membership of the Schengen Zone (Umm, we'll talk about the Euro…).” The petition has already attracted 28,000 signatures at the time of writing. It’s not the only one trying to attract support in the wake of the vote for Brexit, with another calling for a second referendum due to the narrow margin of the vote in relation to the turnout. It has already drawn over 100,000 signees on parliament.uk, which means it will be considered for debate in parliament. Sadie Khan insisted “there is no need to panic,” this morning, reassuring Europeans living in London “You are welcome here. We value the enormous contribution you make to our city and that will not change as a result of this referendum." http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/londependence-petition-calls-for-london-to-join-the-eu-on-its-own-a7101006.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ItsTommyBitch 12,640 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 There's so many petitions like this With such a large # of voters from different places and different beliefs, I'm not sure how democratic the idea of deciding to leave should've been, it sounds like something that should be decided on some level of super majority to me, especially because what's happened is elderly people incredibly swung the vote against the young people who will have to live with the repercussions 私自身もこの世の中も誰もかれもが, どんなに華やかな人生でも, どんなに悲惨な人生でも, いつかは変貌し, 破壊され、消滅してしまう. すべてがもともとこの世に存在しない一瞬の幻想なのだから Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I'm feeling sorry for Scotland who, as far as I know, wanted to stay in the EU really bad. That being said, I'm not sure if it's possible for a nation to leave the EU and have its capital stay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolodex of Hate 1,761 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 This whole thing is a mess. I'm British and honestly I'm scared for our future. The people who voted for leave didn't vote based on logic, they voted because the prospect was exciting and they wanted a change - I don't know that it will be a change for the better. BUT it's a reality we have to face, and it will completely crash if half of the country against it, so I'm guessing we just have to make do with what we've got.

Lord Temptation 11,209 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Pathetic. London cannot even feed itself. Now they want to act like they're not even English. Bloody money hungry traitors. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slayer 9,227 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I'd be all for a separate London state tbh even though the petition is tongue in cheek. I'd much rather have President Khan than bloody Boris Johnson for PM. I love judas SO MUCH but I canʹt look like a copycat of JLO!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember in the past years when England was convincing Scotland to stay in the UK because together they are stronger and is a veto power to international organizations or something like that?
