AMKC’s ponder playground

[Deleted User]

We’re doing this again then I guess

This thread is for AMKC to ask all their burning questions, ponder the great mysteries of the world or point out things none of us would ever have noticed. No, you would not, stop lying.

No one else is allowed use the thread for any purpose but discussing their questions. That includes me.

You are also not allowed to complain about whatever AMKC says here. Don’t piss on their cornflakes in their own thread.

We can save the Carbon Emissions from the ✨Hamster Wheel✨ by keeping it in one thread 😎

Hope you enjoy AMKC!

More importantly, should British or Irish contractors install it?

What height pole? Will there be a fleg on it?

Even more important will the pole be built to GB or EU regulations?

But ignoring the Good Friday Agreement, why wouldn't Scotland and Wales also have a say? Why only England?

Why not Gibraltar? And las Malvinas?

Only the people in the North should have a vote. The majority of English (why do the Scots or the Welsh not get included) people wouldn't turn up to vote unless politically motivated for their party and that could vary hugely because labour now have a strongly pro union leader but Tory have little votes in Westminster they can buy anymore, which is the opposite of only a few years ago. The Scots would be between a leave vote or don't vote, the Welsh I imagine would be much like the English, local party lines would sway the vote rather than an objective view.

If everyone allowed vote in the UK was allowed vote on it though, I suspect a clever marketing campaign by SF among the descendants of Irish would sway in favour of a leave vote.

Can Irish Americans vote too?

They can fire up their own pole.

It would be the biggest pole I'm sure!

Kermit.de.frog

Why would the British be voting? That would be a veto wouldn't it?

dxhound2005

Will the Poles get a vote?

Looks like this and the motors forums are the OP's new playground for stupid threads. God help you all.

Let's run it up the flagpole and see who salutes.

EU regulations, so it will be as straight as a banana.

I know! If the Mods have any sense here they will do the same.

Who's going to erect this pole? Will people who vote on the pole need to dance on the poll too? Do they get paid?

highpitcheric

English people are paying for the place.

So yes. They get a say. Taxation, representation and all that.

bucketybuck

The English should get a vote. It would be the funniest thing ever seen when the unionists would find out first hand just how few **** the english care about their union.

The English also 'pay' for Scotland and Wales, should the English get to vote in an Indy Ref? they weren't allowed last time.

That's ignoring the fact that all the devolved institutions do actually have a say in their laws, they do self govern. So the taxation, representation argument is moot.

Is a border pole a Polish person who lives on the border? And why would anyone have a vote on them?

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121718612#Comment_121718612

We're assuming as it's not a capital P, it's just a regular aul metal pole and not a Polish Pole!

Otherwise the thread would make no sense, right?

AMKC

A lot people in here must be on a real high talking about polish people and Irish Americans lol and what height a poll should be. I don't know what yer on but ye want to get off them drugs. Not good for ye.

are you telling us to get off the pole?

Not morally moot.

Is there anything in your life you pay for yet are not allowed to influence?

Morally justify to me the pouring of your money into something while being told you dont get any say on future payments.

I think they would vote to hand it back, but no, they shouldn't get a vote in the first place.

Why? Because the equivalent would be putting the Brexit referendum to all 450 million odd EU voters, and being bound by the result.

The worst effect Irish unity would have on any GB citizen, is that a small bit more of their taxes would become available to spend in their own nations.

Irish unity is matter for the 7 million or so citizens in the two jurisdictions on this island - or at least those of voting age among them. End of story.

Just for clarity.

As per the Good Friday Agreement.

Any border poll will only involve the electorate in NI and the Republic of Ireland.

For any change to take place both the Ni electorate and the ROI electorate needs to agree.

Forget about the English, Scottish, Welsh or Poles.

They don't matter, it's only about the two jurastictions on the island of Ireland

I can't believe the amount of posters who don't know (or maybe do?) that the OP is a serial thread starter of ridiculous posts and was banned from After Hours from starting threads apart from the thread that was set up by a Moderator to cater for such random brain thoughts. https://www.boards.ie/discussion/2058318593/amkc-s-ponder-playground/p1

[Deleted User]

67.5 million who would be eligible to vote against 5 million. That won't work out well.

There's 1.9 million in Northern Ireland and I would say the split is in favour of staying with the UK.

You can't base it on if they've lived here the last 10 years or what not. I can see a United Ireland happening but it doesn't really matter.

**** the english and their government is all I care about.

Once it starts it will always be remembered as a phase in history called "da poll wars"

As everyone tries to build a bigger pole

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121718327#Comment_121718327

Then after "da poll wars" we will start "da fleg wars"
