Discussion on British Politics

How exactly can you vote?I thought you were 15?
Also maybe Dragnort lives in Theresa May's constituency?

Very lucky to be living in Jersey where the voting age is 16.

Isn't Jersey self governing ?

Anyway sadly for places like Jersey and the Isle of Man you will all be hit worse when Brexit finally happens. That freedom to trade between the U.K. & the EU will be gone lol. Not only that there is talk of the UK Common Travel Area to be abolished as well considering Conservatives want a hard border between NI & ROI. So the abolishment of the CTA would essentially mean the abolishment of east passing between the Island and the UK. Then Jersey has no relationship with the EU as it's current relationship is as a territory and not a nation.

But hey, agriculture and fishing are your biggest markets....I'm sure France will still let you all fish in their waters after this is done lol.

If you did some research you would know that we are in a trade agreement with the EU, yes we are completely independent to UK. The brexit decision will have absolutely no impact on us. I was just stating it's 16 to vote here. I am also pretty sure we are an offshore island for the rich to store their money, think we will be fine.

No.
"Jersey’s status as a Crown dependency gives the Island constitutional rights of self-government and judicial independence. Jersey has a considerable measure of autonomy within its constitutional relationship with the United Kingdom (UK) although it is not independent of the UK."
Directly from gov,je

Will get back to you to explain our politics because I am pretty sure I live here lol. I have to go rn tho so I'll be back later.
