FMguru posted:Aren't there an alarming number of people who think "no deal" means "Brexit is called off, everything continues on as before, no changes"? No, that was just from a website poll, and most of those responses were probably internet jokesters. In an actual Gallup (or some equivalent) survey only ~1% of Brits were actually that far off. I forget the other responses, but most of them accurately described No Deal and the rest thought it meant an automatic extension of Article 50 or had it confused with May's deal or something of that nature.

I had assumed it was all driven by the bettors -- the more people bet on one side, the more the odds go the other way to encourage bets to even things out. I don't bet much other than really big sports events, but I do bet on Eurovision each year, which is a really niche betting market. I'm masochistic enough to watch many of the regional finals in countries that take place months before the actual contest. There's usually a few entries that are immediate standouts long before any sane person is even aware that it's almost Eurovision time again. The bookmakers however are all over that poo poo and their odds reflect emerging trends long before popular betting kicks in.

It’s been 100% unending worst-case scenario since the referendum two years ago, why would that change now all of a sudden? Why do people assume everything is going to work itself out?

I'm not sure what the point of a delay would even be if it is clear that May's deal is dead, she isn't going anywhere and also isn't changing her mind. Just get it over with. They don't want a general election. That's literally it.

https://twitter.com/Jacob_Rees_Mogg/status/1104801354378346497?s=20 Leaving without an agreement is nothing to be frightened about. It opens the door to prosperity.The Chancellor ought to welcome it and use the £39billion, which would otherwise be wasted in Europe. It could be spent on projects that would help the country and taxpayers keep more of their own money which they would, on the whole, spend more wisely than the Government spends it for them. EU taxes that hit the least well off most, such as the requirement to putVAT on domestic fuel, should go, as could tariffs on goods not produced in this country. Perhaps taxpayers may even want some of their money spent on more police to help reduce knife crime.

This would normally be batshit insane and grounds for being removed from office, but it makes perfect sense in hellworld. twoday posted:The entire country’s economy and status quo will be upended in either 2 weeks, 2 months, or 2 years. Imagine having to plan literally anything with this kind of uncertainty And it's impacting everyone on all kinds of decisions. I was going to get a new car this year, and I'd normally have booked a holiday by now. Except I don't know what will happen to the exchange rate, what kind of chaos there might be at airports or what might happen to my job. I don't want to spend any serious amount of money or make any drastic changes with my work because I cannot predict what our situation might be in a few months time.

Rees-Mogg is my favorite character in British politics because it’s as if he was frozen in a pod in the cellar of parliament in the 1870’s and they just thawed him out in 2015, futurama-style https://twitter.com/Independent/status/1104904644965351424?s=20

Still can't get over him campaigning to be MP in a Fife constituency which was a traditional working class coal mining area which had the last Communist Party elected official in the UK (a local councillor) and took his nanny every where with him. Way to relate to the electorate.

Taking Back Power from dodgy Tusk and His Cabal of German-French bureaucrats And giving it to Parliament, Her Majesty and the British People. Bless the British People when they Took the Vote and now We Must Honor the WILL OF THE PEOPLE. As I have lived for 70 years And Not Once on the Dole, which is Something I Wish the younger Generation could Understand Hard Work! Perhaps After Brexit they will Bring Back proper British Coinage in My Lifetime.

Politically he's quite modern though. He's obviously spent his whole life attempting to fuse Christianity with objectivism and has ended up with "it's a sin to help people" It's pretty clear he comes from the same Randian tradition as our neoliberal consensus he's just fully embraced it as a world view

Which makes sense really. How else do you square being a 10 year old millionaire in a country with so many poor and homeless while also being a good Christian? Easy, charity is a sin and God wants you to have the money not them
