I already said many times I don't care if we stay or leave because the fundamental issues with our country are irrelevant to our EU membership.

Baron Corbyn posted:Who the gently caress is "you"? There's not a single regular in this topic who voted for the shower of shits clowning about right now. I know it's unfair to be lumped in with these absolute morons, but that's exactly what will happen. There's no point in getting upset about it.

I don't really think the EU will give no shits whatsoever about the disposition of the british state during negotiations. It's rather different negotiating with a deranged lunatic who has no grasp on reality as opposed to somebody with a weak position but a willingness to actually try to negotiate a settlement. Especially as I don't think Corbyn really would have much objection to paying for things or offering concessions in exchange for things, whereas the tories will not give anything they don't absolutely have to because they will literally take no deal whatsoever as a victory.

Kokoro Wish posted:Just to note, Pissflaps' definition of Soft-Brexitâ„¢ is one where we're basically exactly the same as now except with no say in how the EU governs at all. That's basically everyone's definition of soft Brexit. Out of the EU but in the single market. AKA the least destructive way of acknowledging the result of a really dumb plebiscite. Just out of interest: if the same majority had voted to abolish all disability and unemployment benefits and spend the saved amount on the NHS, or to grant homeowners the right to kill anyone trespassing on their property, would the moral imperative to Just Do It be the same?

AKA the least destructive way of acknowledging the result of a really dumb plebiscite. I mean I would argue no because it's not ethical for a section of the population to victimize another section whereas the cost of leaving the EU can be spread as evenly as the government wants to.

Gorn Myson posted:My hope after the vote last year was that no politician have the backbone to pull the trigger on Brexit given how obviously stupid a decision it is. In actual fact, our politicians don't have the backbone to risk the ire of the British pollution by refusing to act on it. So I wouldn't expect Davis to do anything except rescind all responsibility for what happens in the negotiations by blaming anyone he possibly can. He'll probably get away with it too given that the narratives of "Remainers want to sabotage this" and "the EU is bullying us" have already gained traction in the press. Would be nice if this convinces the Tories to push on press regulation to save them from a tabloid mauling. Basically every day I post in here I bang on about press regulation. We need it.

R. Mute posted:To be fair, that doesn't really matter, now does it? Whoever was wondering about the EU preferring to work with Corbyn over working with the Tories, you're probably right. But I don't think that'll actually make that huge of a difference in EU disposition. They'll also talk about 'you' when mentioning the Brexit vote, because whoever ends up at the helm of the negotiations - Remain or Leave, Labour or Tory - they're still going to be representative of the British people, of Britain as a nation. And to the EU, Britain as a nation caused this mess and will be treated accordingly. Yeah, but coming in here and preaching at us about it as if we hosed this up achieves nothing but making you look like a smug tosser taking pleasure in the fact a lot of Britain's poorest are going to be poo poo on from up high yet again. Honestly, it's no different in character, if slightly less sociopathic, than the drive by ghouls from GBS turning up to gloat about the latest terrorist attack.

OwlFancier posted:Because the government are all odious cretins. More to the point, which odious cretin in the Tory party would realistically take over from him if he dropped it for whatever reason? No one that inspires much confidence, to say the least. Edit: On the flip side, I think Barry Gardiner et al would be able to actually negotiate something resembling an agreement to leave the EU.

Tijuana Bibliophile posted:Why is he in charge of very very important negotiations Johnson and Davis got their positions because they're either dumb enough to believe their own poo poo or dumb enough to think they can pull this off. It isolates certain Tory interest groups from criticism and it takes two potential rivals forever out of the leadership pool, coincidentally. David Davis is the guy who tells people they dont know as much abuot the EU as him because he was the whip for the Maastricht treaty which is entirely the same thing as being fully up to date on the current EU

For confused Europeans it helps to know Brexit was never meant to happen. Calling a referendum on it was a political stunt that massively backfired and now no one knows what to do with it.
