Our topic has major two points to be considered. The first point is about withdrawal of UK from EU, and the second point is about right to join referendum.
《referendum》
Among member nations of EU, it is being argued that whether Britain should be in EU or out of EU. And at last, prime minister of Britain, David Cameron promised to hold a referendum by the end of 2017. Should Britain leave from EU or be in EU? The most important purpose of EU is to keep peace in European countries by connecting them closely. So, I think member nations of EU should try to prevent Britain from being out of EU. If UK leaves from EU, conflict between UK and other EU countries will get deeper and deeper.
《right to vote》
It was decided to do referendum by the end of 2017, but some of people in UK don’t have the right to vote. For example, UK-based citizens from most EU countries don’t have the right to vote, while irish citizens in the UK and residents from two other EU nations-Malta and Cyprus are eligible. The result of referendum will be concerned with lives of all people living in UK. So, I think all people in UK should have the right to vote. And then they can find the real answer of “referendum”.
This post reported about British referendum and its right to vote. Nowadays, British discuss whether or not the UK should stay EU. So the prime minister promised that to hold referendum by the end of 2017. In this referendum, immigrants from other EU countries cannot vote. But exceptionally, immigrants from Ireland, Malta or Cyprus can.
The writer of this post thinks the UK should stay EU, and all people who live in the UK should be allowed the right to vote the referendum.
I quite agree this post about the referendum. In the last class, I was told that EU was founded for European peace. The UK is one of the most powerful and influential countries in EU. If the UK leave EU, the value and credit of EU decline. So it is necessary for EU and European peace that the UK stay in EU. For the UK, it is good for to stay in EU. I think that leaving EU is makes the UK’s international position uncertain.
I also agree the opinion that claims all residents should have the right to vote. Undoubtedly, the referendum is concerned about all residents in the UK regardless of their national origin. Besides, the exception that helps the gap among immigrants. So the rights of vote to the referendum should be given to the all residents in the UK.
