Of course Soros is already loosing his poo poo about the death of his "borderless world" pipe dream. Why would this guy care about the existence/disappearance of the E.U  http://www.bbc.com/news/business-36630468

If Jeremy Corbyn gets ejected as Labour leader and replaced by someone who is actually capable of winning a general election, then that will at least be a small silver lining.

Ape Fist posted:Honestly the image is basically correct.,  Cameron might have stuck his dick in a pig, but he's not going to put it in that trap. Putting onus on the Leavers to initiate Article 50 is probably a smart move if he hadn't painted himself into that corner in the first place. I can also understand it that he doesn't want the disintegration of the United Kingdom, the collapse of the British economy, or the Troubles starting back up again to be his fault, it's now the other guy's. All that poo poo is going to happen on Boris' watch, now. He gets to own that poo poo. Dead Cosmonaut posted:EU has every excuse to gently caress Britain's poo poo up and make an example of for those who try to follow Also, true. I don't see Britain remaining in the EU without major concessions on their part. EU has every right to kick them to the curb. It would be hilarious if UK has to become a party to the Schengen agreement in order to remain or re-enter the EU.

Technically Brexit couldn't happen because only 25% of parliament want it to happen and it has to get through them first. However, the people have spoken so politicians have to at least be seen going through with it. The greatest chance of Brexit not happening is it being quietly shelved by the new government, which is unlikely to happen.

Seems like the mood in the country is leaning to the Remain camp now that the "damage" is being directly seen. Why couldn't the government say "No" ? It's not like people would riot in the streets. Most of the Leave supporters are too old or too uneducated to understand or have the power to do anything anyway.

Also, with the EU talking to her and other Scottish parliamentarians, it's unlikely they'll go for it. They've got Britain's balls in a vice in regards to a new independence referendum and the EU will likely treat them favorably if the Scots decide to crush them. They have nothing really to gain if they decide to veto Brexit.

Leave supporters just demonstrated that they do indeed have the power to do something. The UK is a strong country because it has a robust legal system, a stable government (despite what people think), an open democracy (just demonstrated) and a currency that can take a.. pounding. This is ancient legal infrastructure that has withstood actual, proper disasters. For a government to not respect all of that by being seen to go off and do its own thing despite the will of the people would cause damage far more profound and long-standing than the city losing its financial services EU passport.

The thing with the Scottish position and the whole idea of a 2nd Scottish referendum is that it assumes that if Scotland left the UK that they would be welcomed into the EU with open arms. Like, I can see the Scottish liking the idea of 'let's get out of the UK and replace all the support the rest of the UK gives us with support from the EU' but is it an appealing idea for the rest of the EU in any way which isn't just 'gently caress you England'? Not so much.

We had a vote in Sweden to get rid of nuclear power long ago but the politicians basically said "uhh no that's stupid" and vetoed it away I hope someone vetoes this retarded poo poo away also Plus there should be like a margin on votes. 52% vs 48% shouldn't go through, should have to be like at least 10% more than the other side

Gianthogweed posted:I'm not a leave supporter (I live in the US so my opinion doesn't matter anyway), but the meltdown in D&D is glorious. They're saying stuff like: "Old people should not be allowed to vote" "there should be tests you have to pass in order to vote" "I wish stupid white people would just stop voting, maybe they should only count as 3/5ths of a vote" "The working class needs to stop being racist fuckwits and return to the more tolerant left". D&D is SA's pit for that new feminist left that wants to sanitize language and create a dumb gay privilege hierarchy that only makes sense if you're a retard American whose only frame of reference is the Atlantic slave trade. The working class across Europe is abandoning the left precisely because of the leftist trash D&D is infested with. Suppressing the victimization of people sexually assaulted by migrants is literally their recent track record an isn't an isolated case, it is how they operate. Pretty much from the politicians choosing not to identify any religious or cultural features that lead to undesirable traits to the leftist press choosing to not publish or only publishing days after it breaks as an international story, to the mods of various subreddits banning comments/users for mentioning the religious affiliations of mass murderers; the ideology of this new feminism is clearly and consistently, just, retarded. But as with any discussion outside of the Internet it's against the rules to raise any criticism of anything that has feminism in the title, so irl these people are insulated from having their ideas challenged so they are going to be retarded for a really long time.

Indeed and I'm quite surprised that I haven't seen any of the major remain campaigners pushing for exactly that. The problem is that if you admit that the population is roughly 50/50 split then you piss off half the population no matter what. The only way I could see out of that would be if the EU would appease the leave side by offering further renegotiation and concessions, but they won't so here we are.
