Why not have a referendum to ask the people if they want another referendum?
mutantdog or just have a referendum and then the people can confirm the first referendum with their vote. Why are people so scared of democracy
That's the most sensible and _Democratic_ thing i have heard all year :)
Tell that to Corbyn the Eurosceptic!!
@@mendi881 Yeah, because the UK government are a bunch of genius's.
Oh no no no... We need a referendum for that referendum before we can get a referendum.
they should do a debate without an audience because then the viewers can judge their arguments on substance rather than on the number if claps they get
Do you judge someone's arguments on the number of claps they get? I don't.
no but unfortunately alot of the british audience will. Not everyone is as perfect as you I'm afraid.
@@eddevlin72 What a childish reply.
What exactly is so controversial about my comment, i just think we should allow the british public to formulate their own response? please respond as I'm confused as to what is childish.
@@eddevlin72 I was talking specifically about "Not everyone is as perfect as you I'm afraid.", just because the person disagreed with you. Kind of gives your opponent an automatic win, when you stoop to that level when your point is being challenged.
My goodness. A second referendum with choice of 'Remain as member' or 'Remain as hostage in the backstop'. Are they nuts??
Yes, they're deluded.
How thoughtful of pro-remain Channel 4 to fill the audience with remainers.
I thought the same thing!
Of course they did
.... I second that notion , WTO RULES ! 👍🏻🇬🇧🤝
Probably not their fault. The studio is in London and most Londoners voted Remain. There were a fair few Leavers in there though, and most of the audience members questioned were Leavers. 60% of Londoners voted Remain and 40% voted Leave. Judging by the cheers for JRM and for Caroline Lucas, I'd say the audience split was more or less the same. (60/40)
Yes, it was a little to obvious wasn't it! Full of NPC's
Need an actual EU-critical leftist in this debate - the only missing position on this programme as far as I can see.
I thought we had one!??? Lucas is the only one for remain regardless of how many brexiters with victim complexes insist otherwise.
@@siginotmylastname3969 EU critical not in favour
Barry Gardiner.
@Colin Wilson - Not true. They would be centrists and infra-reds, not a genuine socialist among them. If they were, they'd be campaigning for collective representation rights for Greek workers instead of obediently attacking (at the behest of the EU propaganda machine) the generations who clothed and fed them .
"The real brexit debate" Uhhh it's not a debate when eveyone in the audience is pro remain.
So we know it's an audience with a higher average IQ than that of the UK then......
@@benghiskahn3673 biased
@@benghiskahn3673 what's IQ got to do with it? Would you say Tony Benn had low IQ or Jeremy Corbyn? Because they were anti EU for their whole careers.
How's brexit going now !!!!
@@1ramises Very well actually. Turns out (unsurprisingly) that all the doom and gloom is total bullshit.
Well Done Caroline. The only person there who actually makes any sense at all.
@Soloman1001 Probably because the other 3 needed their nannies to wipe the dribble off their chins.
This aged well 😂
Rees Mogg conducts himself perfectly in this debate. Waits his turn without interrupting, listens to the others, makes his point clearly without stuttering or histrionics. A real leader. He has the best understanding of the only Brexit possible, which is to exit the common market.
Pity he doesn't know how to use a condom
I can only hope if it comes to that that I'm allowed to stay out of the UK, my god what an utter shitshow no deal will be, will be interesting to watch the fallout from outside though
The guys an act.
ginlane nope I’m glad he has loads of children, we need more British born children not foreign born ones thank you
Jay Jay well u are not man enough
Lucas we voted out. Peoples vote is lets rerun until we vote to stay. And what the heck do the greens care for trade and economics.
Exactly, how pathetic that it falls to youtube commenters to debunk the propaganda.
Caroline's referendum question: Would you like to remain or remain in European Union? A: Remain B: Remain
Kshitiz Rai or leave or leave that would be what the people voted for.
Seems Caroline Lucas has the best question and option then...
I'm all for that
@@robertandrewwaite3439 only a good option if you enjoy jack boots on your face.
Thanks for this amazing service you provided for people who follow the debate from abroad, I really appreciated it.
Greetings from Italy
The biggest problem with most of the MP's, they do not know how the EU operate and what their rules say with regard to any country leaving. The EU cannot negotiate with a member country while still in the EU. Therefore we the UK have to be outside the EU before they will negotiate with the UK. The only way we can have meaningful negotiations with the EU is to leave on WTO conditions or at least indicate we are prepared to do so on the 29th March 2019.
All the nonsense spoken by Barry Gardener re -poverty and homelessness etc has nothing to do with the UK leaving the EU as they are all internal issues to the UK.
The only way for the Labour manifesto to get any traction we have to leave on WTO terms.
Caroline Lucas advocated that the vast majority of young voters were for remain -- various studies have shown that when asked most young voters were indoctrinated by their College/ Uni. lecturers in EU propaganda and actively discouraged from finding out about the leave campaign.
Could you provide a link to these studies? And what makes you believe that academics are uneducated about the EU when they literally teach public and EU law
Do you have any idea at al what the WTO terms are? I doubt it or you wouldn't spout such nonsense. For one example only, the EU provides environmental and food standard protections for consumers that the WTO does not. I guess you don't mind chlorinated chicken and mouse droppings in your breakfast cereal...
ITS most young people vote for Common Market only BK 1975 now its not and now same people who Have changed their minds and Vote for leave in June 2016 So Now We R finally got out this EU Nonsense
Talk about scripted. Only watched the first 4 audience members and its obvious theyre answers are scripted.
£7bn (after the rebate) is peanuts for what the UK got out of the EU. Largest case of self-harm known to the UK in recent history.
Nice one C4. Very good debate format in comparison to the normal drivel we get. This format is much more confrontational and gets into the nitty gritty details of each position.
Jacob Rees-Mogg for PM.......
Let's hope so!
🤮
Get voting!
then what?
who even cares what the green party has to say
I'm only 8 minutes in but I'm guessing the results are as follows:
1.) Jacob Rees-Mogg
2.) Barry Gardener
3.) James Cleverly
4.) Caroline Lucas
1 MP from the Green Party in Parliament and yet she's allowed to bring her own audience with her..
And still 1 mp
Caroline Lucas says BREXIT IS a project for the right, by the right. Does she even know what the EU is?
FunkyAnimal The Earl of Funkdom you’re suggesting the EU is politically right wing?
Liberal values of freedom of movement of people & goods? The values of pooling together resources & decisions. Of course Brexit was the doings of those on the right.
Caroline is right in that there was no real “lexit” articulated by the left. Brexit was through and through a xenophobic, right-wing fantasy of becoming the next European Singapore or something... and completely tainted by imperial colonial nostalgia. The EU, there is much to criticize there as well, especially in terms of the euro zone and monetary union. But then again the UK had the privileged exception of maintaining its currency and independent monetary policy, so that point is moot. Articulating policy at the regional continental level is very much necessary, of course the EU should become more democratic, but the UK was in fact an extremely reactionary force within that bloc when you consider its voting record. So good riddance, I say. Can’t wait for the Scots to leave you too.
Jacob has once again proven he is PM material. If only his party had the spine to back him.
Yorosero kind of want to see him PM just to see how he’d fail🤣🤣
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
No thanks. The Conservative party needs to be completely destroyed, along with Labour and the European Unionist Party aka Lib Dems.
James Cleverley saying "Backstop" so often reminds me of SNL's Darrell Hammond as Al Gore saying "Lock box."
The people voted for the UK to 'leave' the EU and the Oxford Dictionary definition of 'leave' is to "depart from permanently".
Oh so that meas everyone who voted leave wanted a hard brexit? Well then I guess that's that then. That's totally in line with reality.
P Shuckle Nice strawman, to which he said that Leave means leave permanently, which means the UK leaves permanently and never comes back.
To define what people see as leave isn’t what he brought up, so to make a strawman is nothing more than intellectually dishonest.
IMHO, Jacob Rees-Mogg is the only person who came out of this debate not looking like a total fool.
JRM is a fork-tongued weasel, he had a method, just stick to the emotonal story about respecting the will of the people and skip all fact-based arguments.
agreed
Intellectually he wiped the floor with them, quite some doing as the only person standing up for a simple instruction.
First saw Jabob Rees-Mogg like 5 years ago, thought he was a right toff, since then I have watched probably 50hrs of footage of him on LBC, various interviews, speaking at Oxford etc. etc. he is a real prime minister in waiting, absolutlly brilliant man, exactly what our country needs right now. People who slag him off are either stupid or have not watched anything he has said and are like I was 5 years ago, judging him by the way he speaks which is a huge mistake. Jacob for PM!!!
He did what great politicians do best; said lots of words without ever really saying anything at all. Same as the Labour bloke - he waffled on without ever getting any kind of point across.
Caroline seems to have a very strange vision where young peoples votes count more than older persons. How peculiar that she claims to be a democrat, but is the least democratic on the stage.
She also back peddled when she alienated half the electorate with judgemental comments about leave voters
The way I see it, if the vast majority of young people are pro-EU, then that *probably* represents a trend that will continue into the future. It was predicted in 2016 that within 2-3 years of the Referendum, the slim Leave majority would be eroded due to older Leave voters dying and younger Remainers coming to voting age. Recent opinion polls seem to support that prediction.
I take your point about all votes being equal, but Brexit is a 20+year project, and it would be foolish to be too dogmatic about that strict democratic point if it is clear that we would be going to all this trouble and expense just to satisfy the will of our ancestors.
The answer is to have a vote now to check that the will of the people is still the same. It might be that people 'see the light' as they become older and wiser, and that's why so many more older people voted Leave, but lets see. That can't be undemocratic.
@@paulmackilligin1754 You're misunderstanding the basic constitutional principle of parliament, that no previous parliament can bind a future one. If the electorate in the future wishes to put pressure on parliament to join the EU once again, then let it happen. But as the right honourable Jacob Rees mogg said we've had three clear votes affirming a desire to fulfill a leave vote, and to do anything but just that would be a great offense to British democracy.
@gnu_andrew Parliament voted for a referendum, we voted leave, we affirmed the leave vote almost unanimously in the general election, since both Labour and Conservatve manifestos purported to fulfill the will of the people.
That is 3 seperate votes that represent the democratic will of the people.
Your claim about an illegally won referendum is baseless, the government outspent the leave campaign budget tremendously by leafletting every house in the country.
>inb4 muh Russia conspiracy
@P SMITH why on EARTH can you not see the role which their own governments being fervent right wingers plays!? Being in the EU as a left wing government would help.
Have the referendum question in essay form and then have parliament debate each and every entry. Seems the most sensible thing to do under the circumstances.
UK R.I P.
The People's vote are basically arguing no one read the terms and conditions. No we read what was on ballot sheet. DO YOU WANT TO LEAVE OR REMAIN IN THE EUROPEAN UNION. A majority said we want to leave.
According to caroline lucas we should have another vote on the 1975 referendum first as i was to young at the time.
well duh- you had one 2 years ago.
@@julesdingle I was old enough then.
What about those 2 million odd teenagers who have joined the electoral roll since 2016, those 800 odd thousand who have since died. Not forgetting the 3 million odd EU citizens living, working and paying tax here and the million or so UK citizens living in the EU who have paid tax here who where denied a vote on THEIR FUTURE.
Different demographic, different public opinion.
Young people will suffer??? Compared to what now? Which young people? I have a feeling she doesn't mean native British young people.
And next year there will be another change inn the demographic, and the year after, and the year after that ...
The Prime Minister in 2016 stated very clearly that this was a once-in-a-lifetime decision that would be respected and acted upon by the government and there would be NO second vote, no matter the outcome.
The people voted. Two years after a general election there will be a "different demographic," but we don't have another vote every two years.
I thought the Green Party was dead, looks like there is still one member
That's one more than the Brexit party lol
@@kurt7842 face it, the green party is about as relevant as any other independent party, people need to stop acting like it is a major party. Same goes for the Brexit Party, UKIP, monster raving loony party ect.
@@GromDarkwater It's by no means a major party, but it'd definitely picking up speed. Obv if you want to vote left, you're better with Labour/Libdem
@@scotthickman1227 Lib Dems are essentially the same as the greens, an independent party,
Also green party picking up speed? What planet are you on? They have been stuck at 1 MP and the boundary changes will disperse some of the moronic students which most likely will lead to the end of Lucas.
The only person who is being honest here is Rees Mogg
fr ze different opinions doesn't mean they're not being honest.
Wot the man who's relocated his 2 hedge-fund companies to Eire? You are gullible.
gary morgan - get your facts right - he has not ‘relocated’ he has set up ‘another’ office. Remoaners have a tendency to twist facts to suit their belief system.
Will Malin - good point
Yep. Rees-Mogg who wanted to have a second vote, but forgot about it. He tweeted it. Caroline Lucas had to remind him.
I was actually impressed with this setup, c4 really managed to balance the screen time. I do think that the audience was a bit distracting, but other than that, a surprisingly productive discussion.
Kylie Minogue!!! That came out of nowhere!!!
Absolutely deliberately scripted and purposefully left as the last comment. Channel 4 fake news.
@@frazerduncan356 Indeed, it was so obvious he never voted leave in the first place. Throw in a bit of pop culture to make it seem he's genuine.
@@frazerduncan356 Saw this comment and knew someone would say he was a plant Give it a rest. Some people have different views to you.

@@SuperMikeFender No, we can see if he's sincere or not. I think it's called the hypothalamus.
She wants a people's vote that doesn't involve leaving
Duncan oorloff is the people want to leave what’s wrong with asking them how they want to leave? Why so fearful? This is the prize of winning. More choice. Wasn’t taking back control what it was all about.
@@dicerevo so the question should be .... leave on WTO or Leave on Deal.
@@dicerevo You really dont get Duncans point do you, If I were cynical I could say this has been contrived to make people to vote to stay in. the only way for it to be fair would to have a wto option as well
The question she suggested should be on the ballot paper was:
TM Deal or Remain?
In other words, Remain with a say or Remain without a say...
No leave choice there....
Like Jason Williams
said TM Deal or JRMs WTO should be the only 2 choices as the first referendum already put remain in the bin.
“On Tuesday night, a special 2 hour edition will cover the Brexit vote”

This is my second time watching this, absolutely rich entertainment.
No deal no problem
They'll be problems alright.
No problems only troubles.

Swindon was once our producer of rail locomotives and rolling stock.

The bicycle for the Greens was made in the far east, not by Raleigh UK but then they are probably going to move to the Netherlands too as they have said recently.
Anyone who thinks the EU is good for British industry or any other business simply hasn't paid attention to what has been systematically asset-stripped from the UK. Name me one major technology company still running in the UK, I used to contract out to many, then the work just dried up as they were sold off to companies from France, Germany, Holland, Belgium, etc., and now we don't even teach electronic technology for technicians any more, due to EU regulations.
I haven't detailed our non-existent fishing industry the EU paid to destroy, nor the farmers being paid NOT to produce food they could sell for more than they get paid to do nothing, don't even go there.
I haven't mentioned what it costs us to be asset-stripped like this, nor have I mentioned immigration, nor the risk to our security if control of our armed forces is passed to Brussels or Germany.
Find something that's gone the other way, I've looked and I just can't. If you think the EU is a good idea,
1/ You haven't read the party manifesto of The European Peoples' Party.
2/ You haven't had to deal with EU petty bureaucracy tearing your business down.
3/ You don't think it matters.
OUT OF EUROPE we need to be out of it
Tom Hulme such a sad litany. Will we ever be able to recover
@@lynnewilson7390 were british ofcourse we can. Its simply in our polite nature not to see we are being taken advantage of untill it has happened, when were up against it our fighting spirit will show and make no doubt about it if we leave the eu with no deal they will make sure were up against it. This is a good thing as nothing motivates us more than when we have a point to prove we just need the politicians we vote for to stop thinking about themselves and start listening to what we voted for.
Wanted to do a local maitenance agreement with a local school that we have been involved with.
School had to advertise the possible work first to an EU wide board, so that there is "fair competition?". Why a small school needs to solicit quotes for maitenance of their IT from companies that do not even have any local technicians is beyond me.

Mmmm 6 years later 😄😄
.... and about Gibraltar ..... ?
It is part of UK
I’m a European citizen and I am against a 2nd referendum and here’s why:
We need people who are in it with their hearts in terms of this European project, especially in a world where we face threats from Russia, China and even the US. Don’t just stay because somehow now it’s just much more convenient.
I wish the British people the best of luck for the future and although we’re not family anymore I hope we can still remain good friends!
From the US? What threat are we to Europe? We have no issue with Europe, even if most Europeans seem wholly ungrateful for American foreign policy like the Marshall Plan (you are welcome by the way). Europe is market for us.
don't Believe the Macron lies.
I do apologise but I must disagree. The world war 1/2 interventions were in the past, the Marshall plan was in the past, the Cold War support was in the past.
Right now, today, your president is unilaterally pulling US out of the Iran deal, the climate change accord, putting up steel tariffs, threatening car tariffs and arresting foreign nationals. 3 years ago the US were friends with Europe but the feeling now is like being threatened.
JayJay5244 future generations get it more
I think the biggest threat are those your beloved EU is importing en-masse.
I am 70 years old (old enough to have actually watched the Kennedy-Nixon debate of 1960, which was an incredibly good debate) and I believe first of all, that this debate here was over all, on the part of absolutely everyone involved, the best that I have ever witnessed in my entire life. Secondly, One cannot improve upon perfection: Theresa May and Jeremy Corbin could not have helped. Finally, I had never before heard of Caroline Lucas in my entire life. (Even though I know far more about British politics generally and Brexit in particular than most of my fellow Americans). But it's plainly obvious that she is absolutely brilliant. So advice from this aging Southern California surfer (who reads and loves G.E. Moore, Thomas Reid and Dugald Stewart, and counts Purcell, Parry, and Elgar among his favorite composers): Find a way to make her your PM if there is any way possible.
As a Green Party member, I couldn’t agree more
The media should be totally embarrassed that it’s taken over 2 years to have a “real” debate about Brexit.
If the public had seen this debate earlier we wouldn’t be in this mess. Brexit would have been smothered at birth.
Hahahahahaha. So it's basically 3 against 1. Mogg is the only MP that actually wants BREXIT.
I'm so shocked I may faint.
Perhaps that’s a sign of how far removed the idea of Brexit is from sense.
Exactly. Thats because CH4 is UTTERLY BIAS and has clearly filled their studio with REMAINERS!!!
CH4 PROPOGANDA plain and simple!!
And the only one that has a clue of what he is talking about.
FunkyAnimal The Earl of Funkdom Yep - Channel 4 ballance for you. Thank god Mog doesn't get ruffled and knows his stuff!!
We were given a choice, leave or remain, simple, public voted TO LEAVE, we must leave now.
The problem with this Brexit issue, is that the current day Politicians are a bunch of very incompetent individuals.
So lots of pro Jacob and pro Caroline people in the comments and a few pro Barry people. But not one pro James comment.
Seems Mogg was the only one who knew facts
.
He did say Labour couldn't enact any of it's policies if we are still in the EU. Why can't Labour voters see this (unless they are all middle class bourgeois types who couldn't give a stuff about the poor).
The only side with any facts is Remain. Everyone else is a liar or an idiot.
C4 mmmm A nice hand picked crowd i see, you end with the Losers Vote panellist and those audience opinions at the end, how weak & that stooge that had the final word, i actually laughed out loud.. The Stage was complete!... so obvious you should be ashamed of yourselves. Well if anyone didn't know the Channel4 position, we do now!
Way to stack that audience with remainers typical channel 4 🤦🏻♂️

Well that’s cleared everything up!!
Suggestions for Debate Improvements
1) . Have the audience hold their applause and their laughter
2) Have the moderator be unbiased
3) . Zap the Green Gal every time she interrupts or is disrespectful
4) . Have the Labour Guy in a separate room where his audio feed can be cut off every time he interrupts/laughs/ridicules/gets angry or get a more intelligent and respectful Labour representative
5) . Defend James and Rees-Moggs right to speak. Two classy and respectful debaters!!
The crowd are absolutely disgusting.
Well, this is outdated now... especially considering the whole “ON TUESDAY” at the beginning
If Tories failed to negotiate a batter deal, Labour would fail too because each one of them is weaker than the other.
but the chip shop industry will not be affected
"Before we hear from the politicians, let's hear from the audience" ...could we not?
Hi, Jacob Rees-Mogg is a superbrain, he paid his own way to Oxford University, he started standing up for himself aged 12, he's very happily married with 6 little children . He worked very hard to be able to afford to fund himself in politics to give back to people in the nation of Great Britain. He's our inspiration in our West Yorkshire family home. We love him! !!
Unlike the prime minister he can count his own children. What a genius.

I haven't detailed our non-existent fishing industry the EU paid to destroy, nor the farmers being paid NOT to produce food they could sell for more than they get paid to do nothing, don't even go there.
I haven't mentioned what it costs us to be asset-stripped like this, nor have I mentioned immigration, nor the risk to our security if control of our armed forces is passed to Brussels or Germany.
Find something that's gone the other way, I've looked and I just can't. If you think the EU is a good idea,
1/ You haven't read the party manifesto of The European Peoples' Party.
2/ You haven't had to deal with EU petty bureaucracy tearing your business down.
3/ You don't think it matters.
OUT OF EUROPE we need to be out of it.
Companies merge and are taken over because they fail not because they are in the EU. It's a silly proposition. They fail for a lack of innovation or a failure to scale. If it is all because of the EU then how is it that of the aforementioned list all of the takeovers/mergers have been done by European companies which the exact same regulations as the GB? Surely, if EU regulations are the cause of it then the Chinese or 'Muricans would have taken over? Not just the British but the companies on the continent too.

That’s right fella.
Who is this grant bloke from the Eu.
Because there aren’t thousands of jobs in the car industry from things like Nissan moving factories to the U.K. so they can produce cars inside the EU and save on tariffs.
And we haven’t received hundreds of billions in redevelopment funds from the EU over the last 40 years to build up the poorest area of our country.
So these companies only moved because of grants ?
Can you list all the money coming in to the UK from the EU to balance what you are saying? Why not? European Social Fund, Regional Development Fund etc etc etc etc etc.
Many people in the UK were employed via European funding packages.
The UK was at the top table and shaped decisions for decades.
This debate does not have representation from Scotland , Wales or NI so it only represents England.
England should go independent. 🏴
Sam Paterson
Have you ever had one of these jobs.
I thought 2 years ago I wanted to leave. but 2 years later having heard all the argument and debate...… we need to leave now. vote leave however many times we have to
Well said I'm more get out now than stay in
Voted leave and meant leave and would vote leave again
How wide is that gob
There are ridiculous people out there. That's for sure .....after your comment.
Rees-Mogg's political/legislative knowledge is breathtaking. Shame his personal beliefs will stop him ever really using it in a higher position.
@Lolly Logan Well, I really have no stance on whether the chap would be positive or negative for the country, I'm aware he's thoroughly disliked by many, but all of that doesn't much matter to me. What is more interesting and saddening for me is that the man clearly has a first rate mind, no matter what you think of his personal beliefs and it will never get to be used to the full benefit of the country. We need people at that level of intelligence and knowledge, when we don't have them, we end up with average sorts of the May variety in charge and that's no good for anyone.
No representation from Scotland nor with Westminster’s third largest party. This is a disgrace - I think this just highlights how insignificantly we’re being treated.
Scottish Independence
Who represents you pal.
We cranky.
Rubbish - this was a UK-wide vote. Scotland has its own parliament, the Barnett Formula and helps inflict the West Lothian Question on the rest of us.
Mr Rusty Regarding the WL Question, most Scottish MPs do not vote on English only matters, the SNP never have out of principle. The only time that English Only legislation that doesn’t impact on Scotland is ever voted on has been by Conservative and (more historically) Labour MPs. There’s also legislation and bills proposed within WM that solely affect the other constituent countries of the UK but aren’t devolved to their respective bodies and are still voted upon by English MPs. There’s also specific Legislation that cannot be voted upon by certain MPs, this almost always occurs with Peers in the House of Lords depending on the reason for the Lordship, or depending on English Legislation, will block MPs from Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland from voting. Westminster acts as both UK-Wide and English Parliament in the one building. I’m all for an English Parliament however, as it eliminates the possibility of MPs being able to abuse the double Parliament system to their benefit and block certain legislation, or encourage specific party members from other constituent countries from voting and influencing matters, and also means we’d lose less money from the Barnett Formula.
Regarding the Barnett Formula, this method is in place to the detriment of Scottish Expenditure. It bases the rebate on taxation outwith Scotland’s taxation input, and disregards the tax per capita in favour of a population proportionality. This only, numerically and financially, benefits Scottish tax payers and to the detriment of other constituent tax payers if we pay the least per capita in tax. However, based on HMRC receipts and chancellor budgeting expenditure:
We pay in Scotland £10,700 in tax per capita
The UK as a whole pays £9,000 in tax per capita, outwith Scotland is £8,800 per capita
The Barnett Formula sees us receive an excess of £1,500 based on the rUK tax per capita
This sees us have a total expenditure of £10,300 per head of population
This is a net loss of £400 per capita, or £2.2bn annually
We lose billions in tax from the Barnett Formula, but Unionists would rather you pay attention to the £1,500 more we receive and not the £1,900 we lose
Whilst I agree, this was a UK wide vote. Respecting the 2014 referendum, we voted to remain within the UK, and respecting the 2016 referendum result for the UK will see Scotland leave the EU as the UK, and no second EU referendum as per the 2017 election. However respecting the 2015 election result based on a manifesto and party candidates (voted by a majority of the population) to support a second Scottish Independence Referendum if there was a democratic means to do so, and based on this criteria being met in the 2016 referendum based in Scotland’s result versus the UK as a whole. Democratically, Scotland will leave the EU as the UK, there will be no UK wide second EU referendum, but post-Brexit, Scotland should be given the choice of Independence to rejoin the EU or remain in the UK under Brexit. This outcome matches all the results of every vote since and including 2014’s.
I don't know much about Brexit or what is going on, but whether you stand with this James Cleverly guy or not, he wasn't treated very respectfully.
As an outsider I`m glad to notice that UK had a long history of backstabbing and finally manged to forge a blade so curled that thrusting forward stabs itself in the back. Squabble more and twist that blade geniuses.
We have a long history of a sovereign parliament too.
And what superiour country are you from ?
@@JonsRegularStuff the uk. If you don't know about the evolution of the UK parliament it's makes for quite interesting reading, the development of common law, the Magna Carta, the Glorious Revolution,etc. Most European nations have top- down constitutions written between the 50s and 90s of the 20th century. The UK is not necessarily superior but its parliament has a long history.
@@CanaryAlien i assume you are replying to someone else. Or using the Remoaner tactic of strawman arguing (putting words in others mouths to avoid actually answering).

"Now, if you're tweeting during this debate" oh dear god...
And then Jacob Rees-Mogg went on to vote for the deal.
CLEAN Brexit, please! May’s deal is tainted by capitulation. We cannot Remain after the EU has treated us so disgracefully. The best workable Brexit is the clean approach, or a renegotiated Canada+++. Norway is bad. May’s deal is bad. No Deal is better. Rees-Mogg’s vision is better still.
@Tom Maj
The bully boy tactics of the UK towards the EU is the real crime.
The poor old EU must be sick to the back teeth of the UK's cowardly delusional and duplicitous behavior. God help the UK if that nincompoop Rees-Mogg gets his hands on the levers of power
How cute you actually think they will deal with you if you scupper the deal.

If politicians are unable to do what they were told in the referendum. Then they should all resign and leave politics to people who can.
If I'd been told that you can't leave I would not have bothered to vote,it's called the sin of omission.
Gotta love Labours optimism: "we'll just invent a new customs union where we get everything we want and then just tell the EU and they'll just agree and we'll all live happily ever after".
well rehearsed audience would never have guest didn't know channel four done such good comedy.

Anyone else find the green lady really snctimonious?
Clueless greens who want to tackle climate change but want millions of people to come here every year and settle, how is that helping our carbon footprint?
How do you have a debate between people who all want the same thing??
I've changed my mind from remain to leave.
Me too. Mainly because I don't want Article 13 to be imposed upon us. The EU poses a major threat to freedom of speech and freedom in general.
Good. Let's battle it out at the ballot. Let's have that people's vote!
PlotTwist good you’ve been redpilled great feeling huh? 😜
Of course you did princess...
after watching a debate that isn't even about whether we should remain or leave?
Tories are finish but Labour is still dreaming of unicorns, sleepy leadership. Poor old Barry just give up and go back to sleep and leave the grown ups to deal with Brexit. Is there any person awake in Labour who can lead this party?

PlotTwist is the EU a neoliberal project?
@@vinceiswatchingyou It is, yes, and I want out of it. What's your point?
I think we should have a revote for anyone who is asking for a revote... why? Because we didn't know what we were voting for until they got into office.
Brexiteers have their view, remainers have their view, but a former Brexiteer advising us to take this deal is just bonkers.
Caroline Lucas is a green party member that has a tiny minority of support in Britain and yet channel 4 managed to fill their audience with her supporters.
Caroline why would the UK vote out and then vote for a vote???? 😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Caroline Lucas is right, we didn't know what the brexit deal we were getting was, it's either Teresa mays brexit or remaining, we have to revote. Leaving is not what we thought it would be.
The SNP are the 3rd largest party in the UK and the largest political party supporting 'remainers'. Why were they not part of the panel?
Getting Mogg on was probably the best thing C4 has ever done. He stands alone. A giant amongst mere men.
Hahahha wow he’s really drawn you in, name his actual achievements other than being posh?
@@mwd331 Necroing a 2 year old post. Mogg has principles, not all of which I agree with, but he typically stands by them which I respect.
You need to air the views of all people from various backgrounds, regardless of what you might think of them.
That said, if you think I'm a Tory voter, let alone party member, you are sorely mistaken. If I vote at all, I vote for myself or an independent candidate [I actually defeat Tories locally ;) ]
@@S.ASmith if he has principles, why did he vote for the deal he stood here criticising?
@@adama-k2710 Spinelessness. That and his opinion may have changed in the two year period between my original post and now.
I see you deleted a post about him paying no tax as well?
He does pay tax, and likely a lot more than you ever will. That said, taxation is theft. Appealing to statutory law in a discussion with me is futile as I am apposed to Income Tax as a hold over from the Napoleonic Wars.
Jacob is the only who speaks the truth
Steven Dorling if that’s true then that’s even more worrying!

@@Green815 Thank you JRM is one lying son a of a BI&&&
Just sat here and watched our political system eat itself. What a shambles.
this has aged well........
We’ve already had the referendum on leave or stay. We voted leave, the vote now should be hard brexit or soft brexit
I voted remain in 2016 but if there was another referendum I would 100% vote leave. I can't believe the attitude of politicians in westminster. We had a vote, the majority voted to leave, so let's respect the result and get on with it. We're a democracy. If all politicians just got behind Brexit, no matter what party or view, the process of leaving would be a lot smoother and a whole lot less complicated.
So now you'd want to leave the EU, because of your politicians? Makes sense.
out of interest, if it came to it would you vote for no deal or may's deal?
@SunzOffski nope sorry, still makes zero sense. People's or politicians' reactions to the result of a (stupid) referendum shouldn't impact how you feel about remaining in the EU or not. This is proof of how reckless this referendum was in the first place.
@@Julieb210 I would vote to leave because I believe in Britain and I believe we can make it work. We voted to leave in 2016, so let's get on with it and make it a success.
Same here. Voted Remain because of the short-term economy. Now I'd vote Leave. Accountability is too important to give up. The EU is steadily federalising and I don't think it can work between 500 million people with different cultures and languages. We'll all be voting against each others' interests. If you think the relatively minor Brexit split was bad for dividing a country, you probably don't want to know what would happen with even larger differences of opinion which would go on between us and the other member states. It would be Brexit times a thousand. : )
Isn't it funny that when he asked the first 4 in the crowd they were all of the different opinion.
Ms Lucas should learn to listen and not constantly interrupt. The final 4 audience members were obviously not random, with the repentant Leaver placed last in order to stay in our minds. I have yet to meet a single person who voted Leave and regrets it.
I have.
Rees-Mogg is like Iron Man fighting off street muggers.
Matthew Lally did you watch it? If we have a NO Deal our GDP will shrink by 9%. To put that into context the 2008 crash was 2%. Let that sink in.
How could you possibly know that? Do you still believe the predictions? They *never* come true. They are propaganda.

I reckon he’d have a hard time getting his removal of working hours rights aligned with the interests of the country.

Like ALL politicians he has only self interest at heart - you really think a toffee nosed prat like him gives a toss for the working people. He hasn't done a decent days work in his life just like his mates Johnson, Gove etc. Regardless of the effects of Brexit he and his like have so much money it won't affect them at all if the economy nosedives.
Yes Caroline you are right. People voted with not knowledge. Now that we are all well informed we need a second referendum.
so the Labour argument is 'we have no clue about anything, we just really want to be in government'
