Mate, that's a teeny bit odd. I don't think people are going to go for it, I think that the best we can hope for is a Norway style trade deal, and that wouldn't be bad necessarily. Maybe not as good as what we have now, but not bad.

I'd say Germany has been the main beneficiary of the single market tbh. edit: Fascinating stat https://twitter.com/faisalislam/status/870391582352125953 you'd think at least Germany would contribute more.

Pissflaps posted:I posted weeks ago that I was voting Labour. Honest question to you Pissflaps: having seen how enormous the momentum Corbyn with support from the PLP can achieve, what do you think should happen after the election? I do agree with you that Tories will probably still have a majority - there was simply too much ground to make up in too little time - but has your opinion on how unelectable Corbyn is changed? Previously, you've said that the election would be his test, and I personally think the sheer strength of the spike he's achieved shows just how much Labour can do with him at the helm, if they consider cooperating with him in the future.

Lord_Adonis posted:The people need to be told, straight down the line, that Brexit is impossible- that a century of venal behaviour from our Business/Financial class and Politicians of all parties ensuring a consistent malaise of underinvestment in plant, infrastructure, productivity and R&D, a poor standard of technical education, the totally unnecessary 'managed decline' of industry and industrial communities, sick reliance on service industries and a yawing trade deficit have made it impossible for the UK to pay its way in the world outside of the Single Market, that outside of Eastern Europe and the Balkans, the UK has been THE MAIN BENEFICIARY of the Single Market and EU. The people need to be made aware of the entirely negative consequences for their standard of living that will inevitably ensue from Brexit- that we could see three million or more lose their homes, millions more become dependent on food banks and public services fall into the void left by plummeting tax receipts as businesses and inward investment flee to the continent. The people need to be told that in a generation, it will be their children who are the economic migrants- the fruit pickers on Farms in France, Italy and Spain, the cheap tradesmen on building sites in Germany and the Carers in Vienna, Bratislava and Stockholm- 'Auf Wiedersehen Pet' was but a glimpse of the future. Odd capitalisation, Sir I must ask have you written this Post from the Year of Our Lord Eighteen Hundred and Seventy?

Previously, you've said that the election would be the test, and I personally think the sheer strength of the spike he's achieved shows just how much Labour can achieve with him at the helm, if they consider cooperating with him in the future. Honest answer: Corbyn has far exceeded my expectations of how he would perform in an election, and has run easily the better campaign. He's a much improved politician compared to, say, six months ago. While I have big misgivings over his defence and foreign policy positions, I see enough good in his domestic policies that I want to see him as Prime Minister. Having said that, I think we're currently in a very febrile stage of the election. All these cheering crowds we see on twitter videos and rallies and surges in the polls. It's going to mean nothing on the calm of the election day itself. There's not a doubt in my mind that the Tories will be returned with an extremely comfortable majority. And this is a Tory leadership that has shown itself to be utterly incapable of running an election campaign. It's getting laughed at during debates, mocked on social media, the press has turned on it. It's utterly beatable. Labour should win this election. But it won't - and that's because the guy at the top carries too much baggage. He isn't a prime minister and all the people you don't see tweeting and cheering and laughing simply won't vote for him. A while back I called him the Boaty McBoatface of politics and I think that holds true now more than ever. Right now it's very exciting and anything seems possible, but we're going to wake up on Friday 9th with a big Blue hangover. Stay hydrated. edit: i didnt actually answer the question. If Corbyn fails to deliver a Labour government he should resign. Pissflaps fucked around with this message at 22:44 on Jun 1, 2017 |

The military dictatorship thing does have some appeal, in that last time around it led shortly after to a bourgeois revolution and the penning of an actual written bill of rights. Maybe this time around it'll be constitutional socialism under Supreme Comrade Skinner. Plus we might get to be clubmen. Although most of those got killed.

jBrereton posted:*in 70s authoritarian voice* We must have a NASHNAL EMARGENCY GOVERMUNT to stop the SCARJ of pop-u-lism. It would be a better outcome than the UK re-enacting what occurred in Russia from 1991 onwards, both in a financial sense (Run on the pound, hyperinflation, drop in national credit rating and trade deficit oblivion resulting in the Treasury and Bank of England going bankrupt, resulting in all national and public sector assets being privatised, sold off and stripped of anything of value) and political sense (A union dissolved- Scotland first, followed shortly after by Northern Ireland, then Wales some years later, with Cornwall gone in the longer term). I cannot understand why so many people hold so much misplaced confidence in the ability of our national economy, which has been dysfunctional for a whole century now, to successfully operate outside of the Single Market without a fatal loss of jobs and inward investment. The intervention of the armed forces would only be necessary in the event that the Far-Right Brexit zealots in parliament seek to override and suppress sane remain voices in Parliament, and as such refuse to step down in favour of a Remain Government of National Unity. They need only be deployed on the streets if the Brexit-UKIP-EDL mouth-breathing wreckers commit violent acts in defiance of the national interest. Populism kills. It killed two people in Portland, Oregon a few days ago. Populism sets neighbour against neighbour, colleague against colleague and Brother against Brother. It destroys economies and renders working people destitute. When a population are ensnared by its false promises, they must be shown the truth. I am no fan of Oliver Cromwell- indeed, Brexit must be halted to preserve peace in Ireland, North and South. I am not advocating for a Military Dictatorship- the only role for the Military in the extreme case would be to create political space for the formation of a Government of National Unity that can go to Brussels, Cap in Hand, with a contrite attitude to negotiate an end to Brexit, and our resumption of EU membership in good standing.
