Hammerite posted: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. What a loving surprise that a literal overgrown neonate would have that opinion

Germany is the top export location for the Swiss, so they probably gave in...! However!....for the UK it's the US....but then Germany is our 2nd... However! Switzerland's highest trade deficit is with the UK though, which is also interesting!  This stuff is so confusing I just wish Boris Johnson would sort it all out for me, get rid of the immigrants, keep my apartment in Spain, and I don't 't need to understand any of this or make my own decisions. spud fucked around with this message at 05:41 on Jul 3, 2016 |

hey guys you need to tone down the racism, we are expelling potential GBS postersCentripetal Horse posted:Is anyone here participating in the GBS Brexit thread? It's pretty much the opposite of this thread, with Brexiters celebrating their glorious victory, and repeatedly quoting the £350,000,000 figure. It's too long for me to comb through the whole thing, but I am dying to know what undoubtedly hilarious arguments are being put forth in there to explain why the London financial industry isn't going to collapse, and why it won't matter if it does, and why the UK is much more important to the EU than vice-versa, and why the UK is certain to maintain access to the single market because UK. I actually saw some hints of that last one.

The people who are asking for a new referendum or are trying to null the results disgust me so loving much. We've had an amazing situation where people had the power to directly affect the direction of their country and now the same people who celebrate progressive values are suddenly trying to limit the effectiveness of democracy. The will and voice of the people is a beautiful thing, and while I personally don't agree with the result or the racist narrative of the leave voters, I can agree that democracy has served it's purpose. The result is undeniable and anyone who opposes it is moving dangerously close to fascism.

The referendum campaign unleashed forces that they can't control and if they're thwarted again will cause them to flock to any far right movement that shows up to exploit the obvious weakness of the British political system.

How hosed up is it that these people are willing to ignore democracy just to protect their wealth. Marx was right and all that

The result was so incredible close; there should be a more clear winner.

I was always told that the right was the party of order and stability while the left is the party of revolution and change. Kinda funny to watch the entire left collectively poo poo it's pants at Brexit: the most mild and pathetic of revolutions. The Tory party is lying in ruins and the whole country is up for grabs and all the left can do is cry a lot, have an intra-party civil war, retroactively suck the eu's dick, poo poo their pants that capitalism had a bad day and claim that everyone is fascist now so there's no point in doing anything. The leftists who fixed Britain up after WW2 would collectively vomit at how loving useless the D&D set are today.

Cameron should've started the exit process the moment the final results came in, instead he ran away like a little bitch because the results weren't what he personally wanted. You can't ignore the votes of individual people just because they might be dumb and or racists. Democracy worked, and that's a wonderful thing. Instead of crying about the brexit we should be proud that this was a decision we made as a nation. There will be hard times ahead but the UK will manage

A contract is a contract even if it's verbal. The referendum was also a basic majority vote so 52 % does indeed give the leave side a mandate. I don't like the result and I don't think it's the correct choice but the legitimacy of the entire democratic system is at stake here. I'd rather lose money than let these fuckers get away with ignoring the people's will.
