This happened like last week. But she's a woman with Correct Opinions so it's cool.

I honestly can't tell if Zelda is an example of insufferable people playacting at progressiveness or a brilliant satire of the same. I suspect it's the first trying to be the second. Having said that, don't loving piss outside unless you're in the goddamned wilderness. Vincent Van Goatse fucked around with this message at 02:18 on Nov 25, 2017 |

So what's the deal with the UK, is the government just sort of spinning its wheels and hoping everyone forgets Brexit was a thing (because they're well aware it's a terrible idea), or are they just too busy backstabbing each other to actually do it? Because their politoons seem to have been basically the same for months and it's kind of surreal.

I do seriously wonder if there's an unspoken agreement between basically everyone in the UK and EU governments to just not go through with it and democracy be damned, yeah. It seems really not good to me.

I haven't been following closely but I really do think that's the case. Neither side wants to actually be the ones to pull the trigger, so they're going to hem and haw and jawbone each other until it's been so long that they can hold another non-binding referendum which would produce a "Stay" vote.

That's the same reason May hasn't been outed yet either, right? Since literally no one wants to be the one holding the Brexit ball?

Because their politoons seem to have been basically the same for months and it's kind of surreal. They already started the process, so they have two years from March of this year to finish up all the negotiations on the terms of the separation. If they don't... then they get kicked out and have nothing to show for it. The UK seems to be following the Trump model of "You need us more than we need you!" negotiating, and it's not working.

Brexit is a bad thing because the EU needs to stick together against Russian, Chinese and US market influences.

Because their politoons seem to have been basically the same for months and it's kind of surreal. The government is essentially paralysed. They are obliged to leave the EU because they are a democratic government, and they therefore have to respect the results of a democratic referendum. But as the referendum never provided details for how the country should leave the EU, or what the post-exit agreement with the EU would be, all of that is up to political debate. As both Labour and Conservative parties are very divided internally over what the exit deal should be (or if the country should leave the EU at all), it's impossible to get concrete political support for any particular exit deal, which means negotiations are pretty much at a standstill. The general election in June was meant to solve this problem by taking the conservative majority in parliament from about 8 to maybe 28 or so, but instead the conservatives lost their majority entirely. It will probably take another election, or another national referendum, to resolve the issue and actually put political power firmly behind one exit plan. But the Brexit referendum was a disgusting pile of lies in the first place (promising the public that leaving would be easy and profitable), so I'm sure the same thing would happen if another referendum was held. Adding to that, the conservative party desperately doesn't want to hold another election because it would probably end up in a victory for the far-left Labour Party, which they are convinced would be even worse for the country.

You don't know much about British politics, or indeed politics in general, if you think the Labour Party are far left. Jeremy Corbyn has at least dragged them back left of the traditional centre, but they're not Full Communism Now Marxist-Leninist-Stalinist Trotskyites in the eyes of anyone other than the right wing press, who consider Idi Amin to be a dangerous pinko liberal.

Maybe far-left was the wrong term, I was using it in reference to the contemporary situation in UK politics where vanilla neoliberalism has pretty much taken the centre ground, and Corbyn Labour is situated significantly farther left than New Labour was. Please don't mistake this for me thinking that Jeremy Corbyn wants to set up Welsh Gulags or something. What would you suggest as a better term? Solidly Left-Wing? Relatively Far-Left?

The overton window has shifted so much that what was center-right in the 1980s is now far-left. If Reagan or Thatcher came back from the dead, they would be considered center-left today.

They're not obliged to leave the EU, because the referendum was non-binding and very close. And the Tories being convinced that Labour would be worse for the country is suspect at best - the Tories are just disaster capitalists, and this is shaping to be quite the disaster.

Payndz posted:Theresa May hosed everything up for herself by calling an election that was supposed to increase the Tory majority (and cement her authority as the new party leader), but actually lost seats and forced her into an alliance with a tiny group of hard-right Irish religious wingnuts. As a result she's being held hostage by her own party's much more numerous wingnuts who want a 'hard Brexit' (just cut and run from the EU, and any consequences will be trivial because "they need us more than we need them", "let the British lion roar", Singapore-on-Thames, bliddy blah), so can't make any sensible deals with the EU without risking a leadership challenge from the Johnny-Foreigner-hating right. The result is a backstabbing stalemate of idiocy that would be hilarious if not for the fact that it's going to wreck the country for generations.
