Both of the above.
What can we all agree on...?

Agreed. The more schemes and fudging about the more contorted the marketplace becomes. Remove all that carp and let the industry shape shift into what it really should look like.

Another thing we can all agree on, Timothy Dalton was the best James Bond and Daniel Craig can't act.

Yep and he'd be telling Clarkson he hadn't a clue what he was talking about when he got the answer wrong.No use as they only get 60 seconds to answer.

A democratic government would be nice.Any number of threads on here reveal how much we disagree on whatever subject is under discussion. This makes me wonder if there is anything we all agree on, hopefully there are many.
Clearly it won't be likely to be regarding religious things, clearly it won't be regarding Brexit or the EU, and immigration is a non-starter; yet many of us on different 'sides' in those discussions are united on the subject of Ukraine, and vice versa.
Are there some significant things / policies which simply aren't controversial and aren't divisive...? I'll offer some that I think are and welcome suggestions of more which may fit the bill. It will be interesting to see how many we can come up with.
1) There should be a general freedom of speech and expression;
2) There should be democratic government;
3) There should be the rule of law;
4) There should be decent roads.
Note to self: be prepared for someone to disagree with the idea of this sort of thread...
People could hold votes to leave the UK.
Like in NI say?
They can

The OP asks what we can all agree on and then goes on to write about consensus.
Are these two words precise synonyms ?
If not then the question needs clarification.

That wouldn`t please the greens and re-wilders.

There is a legal mechanism for that.
Out of interest, if there is a vote and if it goes to Irish reunification... do you think the people who don't want to be 'Irish' should leave, or just stay there and be British there, or start an armed struggle because they don't like the majority decision, or what?

I think that would be up to them.
Given that we have peace and any vote would be democratic I don't think armed struggle is likely.

I agree that the choice would be theirs, I just wondered what your opinion is.
I hope that it would be peaceful.

Since I'm not able to vote there I don't really have an opinion at the moment.

Come off it... you've no vote in Ukraine or Russia, but you have opinions about that. I guess you have no vote in Hungary or Slovakia, but I think it highly improbable that you have no opinions about what's happening in these countries. I don't think you have a vote in the US, but I know you have opinions about happens there, because I have read them, and agree with most.
If you don't want to say, fine, say so; but to claim no opinion on such a spurious basis as not having a vote in a given country is a cop out.

Just noticed this and it seems that you are not taking the discussion sufficiently seriously; you have entirely neglected to mention the most obvious option that most of us can probably agree on: medium sized, fairly bouncy and quite firm...
