Lol at Vote Leave/Tory leadership candidates saying all week that they will be able to negotiate access to the single market without having to allow freedom of movement. The EU haven't given that to anybody else and have been entirely clear that if we think we can get any such thing, we can think again.

Stoatbringer posted:Bye-bye to the billions received for redeveloping poorer regions. Britain pays more money into the EU than it gets, just like France and Germany. That's british money in the first place. now if you're arguing that being in the EU would force a Tory government to spend british tax money on its own people, fair enough. That shouldn't apply, theoretically, to a Labour government though. (But then again seems like most social democrat parties all over europe are all about that neoliberalism.) btw i don't know that much about the finer points of british politics, as i am not from the uk.

i love people going on about the EU sending money back for redevelopment. lol that is so paternalistic, as if the people of the UK are not responsible enough to decide how to spend their own money! that is exactly how colonial governments worked. the colony sends money to the crown, then the crown sends (some of) it back for development projects that the dumb natives wouldn't have done on their own

You mean the regions with exploding-out-of-control populations, rampant misogyny, minimal female education, low access to birth control, and where the median age is barely older than a teenager? I think they'll be fine.

You are overlooking how the UK takes advantages of other forms of aid such as free trade and also help from the ECB. Things like ECB packages will have to be paid back as part of the Brexit.

hemophilia posted:You can't even admit that a simple majority shouldn't be able to drag a nearly full half of the country that was in opposition to this into this situation that will affect everyone, and the children of everyone. You can't accept that because you only barely got an outcome you wanted. Do you know what a Pyrrhic victory is? If you get your way, that's what this is. If the UK left with a supermajority, united in their will to leave the EU, that would be different. Instead you're probably going to lose scotland, and North Ireland is going to move that way too. The emprie is dead and England isn't that useful scotland to the world without scotland's oil fields. A brexit would rear end-gently caress your finance sector, which employs basically everyone and pays off the pensions of the dying old people that voted for this. It takes a supermajority to get anything important or with permanence like a constitutional amendment or admitting a state* in the United States. You would think something that has that much of an effect on the nation as a whole would require a supermajority. *technically, enabling or allowing admission requires an act of Congress, but in almost all cases, they had clear supermajorities backed up popular votes in the soon-to-be-state territory. Also, don't forget Wales has been talking about their own independence referendum despite voting to Leave following all the news about Scotland and North Ireland. Moridin920 posted:ITT a bunch of brexit brits try to claim they aren't racist, even though the only real tangible bit of the 'leave' campaign's promises is now 'we're gonna close the borders' They don't even get that, because now they're not in any position to dictate to the EU how to handle immigration. Velkest posted:Britain pays more money into the EU than it gets, just like France and Germany. That's british money in the first place. Tell me again how the Leavers are going to use that £350 million a week that they were going to send to the EU to fund NHS. That's always a good joke. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cA3XTYfzd1I

You would think something that has that much of an effect on the nation as a whole would require a supermajority. thats all well and reasonable for the next time we have an important vote. unfortunately that wasn't how this vote worked. you can't go back and say "nuh uh simple majorities dont count!" retroactively. that undermines the entire point of democracy if people had known that they actually needed 60% or whatever to leave it would have influenced the way they voted!

Lol only liberals could think they pumping 350 million a week back into your own economy would be detrimental. Leave the real politics to the conservatives, liberals should just focus on putting trigger warnings on everything.

The issue with FPTP is that it doesn't always translate into most votes = winner though. Hence crowing about electoral reform on both sides of the pond since forever. (mainly by third/independent parties who get shafted the hardest) Under an AV system we'd have more UKIP MP's for instance. They weird old dudes who smell of pipe tobacco and poo poo lager though so gently caress that noise. and greens lmao either way the referendum wasn't FPTP which seems to have confused a lot of protest voters.

It's the elephant in the room and I can't stand it any longer. What the gently caress is up with Boris Johnson's hair? Is he so austerity that he can't afford a comb? Has no one ever pulled him aside and told him about pomade? It's like Trump overly preened his hair and Boris took the exact opposite approach.
