And this is exactly why Leavers can dismiss everything bad about Brexit as Project Fear. Nissan also made a huge fuss about leaving the UK if we didn't join the Euro. Why should workers put any trust in their claims that no, this time they'll really do it, pinkie promise? And if Nissan actually does leave, or any other large company that's been pulling this kind of stunt for years, a good proportion of the workers will deny it has anything to do with Brexit and they've been half-expecting this for years.

Guavanaut posted:It wouldn't surprise me if the regulators got some encouragement. Or Iceland took legal advice on how to get the tamest possible advert that wouldn't put off their bread and butter shoppers while still getting that sweet internet counterculture Banned in Britain cred. I mean this is the weird thing; it's not that much of a counterculture and it's completely not political to advocate for the environment. Environment is and should be THE bipartisan issue if there ever is one. I cannot fathom what checklist the regulatory bodies have that they must've checked through to ban this advert. Was it literally "Cut down less trees? POLITICAL!"

It actually does a pretty good job of making sure laws aren’t just rammed through in a week. With our system as it is it’d be a bad idea to remove the one thing that stops legislation being rushed through before any public dissent can really build up.

Greenpeace and others like them are actively killing the planet by making sure clean energy infrastructure is not being built. Except sustainable energy sources have developed to the point where they are now a viable alternative; they just need the investment. Ten years ago I'd have agreed with you, but I think "nuclear or nothing" is an outdated argument. I used to have the same beef with the Green Party but I genuinely believe the science has caught up to their hard-line stance.

That way Scotland and Yorkshire etc. get guaranteed representation in the upper house. You could also require a certain charter or qualification in law, philosophy, statistics, etc. to preserve the technocratic element. Too much power risks US style gridlock so you could keep them as the advisory review house that they are, just with say 240 members, 20 from each region, instead of 791 seats lmao.
