Confirmed this will be the EU's stance after it got passed through EU parliament. Nice PR counter move by them, will get them popularity and support. This is the scenario where EVERYONE can be happy "have cake and eat it" if you will.. |

I thought the EU's stance was no negotiations before A50 is triggered. It seems quite ridiculous that the EU is putting this forward but has refused to consider a proposal to grant rights to remain for both EU and UK citizens post Brexit. The UK's response should be that's up to you there is nothing to negotiate about.

There will be some Leavers who won't be happy about this as they are looking forward to taking rights away from other people that they don't want for themselves.
They should offer it for free or a small charge |

I wonder if its a move by the EU to show that they are being open and welcoming, in contrast to the constant talk of immigration controls by some Brexiteers.

Also if there is a huge cost it will become about who is most rich and that isn't fair.

I don't see the point unless you either live there already or are planning to live there.

There will be a charge, probably for admin, printing etc. Of course, leavers would be more than welcome to take this perk, after all, the whole point of remain was it's inclusivity. However I hope if they do they don't mind being called hypocrites!
Q - would Farage DARE??? |

No immigration queue to join at European airports and no EU visa waiver would be enough incentive for many. Not that it matters to me as I got two passports anyway.

Dependent on cost, I would be very interested in this. Particularly if it means that those of us who choose to continue to be EU citizens, would have the EU worker protections left in place if the UK government does away with them. Would we have enhanced rights as it were?
We investigated the irish passport thing but our links are a generation too far for both of us (g grandparents rather than grand parents) |

I am waiting for more details. Very interesting idea if it isn't a crazy price.

I can't see how that would work. You would presumably be entitled to full EU rights when living in a EU country but since the UK would't be one then it wouldn't apply. Just as you don't get to keep your EU employment rights if you moved to the USA.

Sounds good for me. The ideal solution for the Remoaners!? ![]() How many Remoaners will actually pay though? me thinks not as many as people think.. 15 to 20 million unhappy with Brexit? not a chance !! ![]() I'd love for this to happen, so the Remoaners can be exposed as all smoke and mirrors. |
