texit related: is there literally any factor in texas leaving the US that wouldn't improve the US dramatically at the expense of our worst citizens?

Yes, it would make port access more difficult and reduce the tax-paying and gun-owning population of the US by about 5% and cut off a bunch of manufacturing and research facilities and NASA and stuff like that probably?

You'd just have to replace them with people from Oklahoma or California or Iowa or something.

I thought that James VI united the thrones of Scotland and England. How can there be a question about splitting up again ????

The monarchy is a separate issue from the UK. Lizzie is the queen of Canada, but Canada isn't part of the UK. So Scotland could be part of the british commonwealth and keep the queen if they wanted to, but still have their own separate parliament and laws.

I think there were respectable reasons to vote leave but this poo poo by the Leave campaign is vile and you can't possibly claim with a straight face that it's not made to appeal to a rising racist sentiment.

Voting leave does not make you a racist and there were many more valid reasons to vote so. However, racism remains an actual thing, the Leave campaign capitalized on it, and some people certainly voted leave because of it.

Honestly, while it literally doesn't matter as long as England keeps voting in Tories, the EU rules about deficit spending are stupid as gently caress and need changing badly. Since they never will, I could see why people would want to leave.

The countries suffering from European business interests now were powerhouses that made Europe suffer over a thousand years ago.


Frankly, Saudi Arabia is just reaping the fruit that Saladin sowed and it is pretty immature and short-sighted of them to forget that.

Mostly ceremonial these days, but also a final sanity check/nuclear option in politics. As head of state, technically the Queen has to approve every piece of legislation, and just like a US state Governor or President, she has the right to veto poo poo. The veto hasn't actually been done in ages though, and at this point if she denied Royal Assent it would probably trigger a constitutional crisis and could topple the monarchy, or topple the government and trigger a general election, or generally lead to running around with everything on fire. So she probably won't do it. But she could, if legislature did something super retarded and she thought the consequences of the veto would be preferable to letting a bad law pass. But she won't. But she could.

I think we should focus on the real cause of the problem, British exceptionalism. Every loving time Europe unites under a single banner the British go and ruin it. The people's of Europe began coalescing under the banner of the Roman Catholic Church, creating a truly free euro zone with Latin as a lingua franca and christ as a shared cultural touchstone through which all Europeans could learn to treat each other as brethren through.


And then someone hosed it all up by translating the bible into the vulgar tongues.

The death of Europe began in 1522. The last 500 years of history have just been the Occidental Giant slowly falling. When he hits the ground we will all be gone.
