The south is endless cafes and vineyards, and couples loudly arguing and making love, and old women dressed in black walking up vertical cliffsides. The east is endless frowning people in gray Brutalist buildings next to abandoned tanks.

Gripweed posted:Isn't that basically keeping all of the parts of the EU that British people didn't like? We'd get out of the mountains of red tape that the EU is strangling us with, but we still wouldn't have control of our borders , so I'd call it 50%. One of the problems is that the referendum question was basically "would you like a pizza for dinner, or something else?" You'd expect that a vague alternative like that would mean you can't get any consensus if it wins, and so it has proven. Teresa May's "steak and kidney pudding it is then" has failed to unite the nation...

Going for "more red tape by doing Brexit and making things more complicated for everyone doing business" seems like a great way to achieve this idiotic "goal" to alleviate this "problem".

Yeah, no deal is the default that will happen unless they agree with the EU on a deal. It's not the kind of thing you can reject unless it's in favor of something else.

BrownianMotion posted:didn't an amendment pass on something that said "would not accept no deal under any circumstances" from what i understand the amendment only meant that the government cannot explicitly vote for a no-deal brexit. if may cannot get a vote for her deal however, they default to a no-deal brexit.

Thanks to the Liechtenstein deal, there will be adequate false teeth, tortellini and sausages. I want the EU trade deal to stipulate that the UK has to allow non-citrus fruit marmalade. Lambert has issued a correction as of 10:48 on Mar 19, 2019 |

BrownianMotion posted:didn't an amendment pass on something that said "would not accept no deal under any circumstances" It just said that government wouldn't pursue No Deal; it's still the default option. It was basically just parliament yelling at May to stop threatening to No Deal out of spite if her own deal didn't pass, which as you can see has radically reshaped the entire playing field.

Jel Shaker posted:I like how its a constitutional crisis when, you know, the 400 year old rules of parliament are followed correctly If the government just ignored precedent and pushed for May's deal again anyway, then that would be a constitutional crisis because Parliament is violating its own laws. Without a "constitution" that sets a clear legal framework, the entire body of English legal history is constitutional. The UK's only had a supreme court for a decade even.

In that year old Der Spiegel profile she's just going through the motions of being a prime minister and refusing to even engage in a political process. It doesn't matter what anybody else wants, because she's Britain's top dog, and what she wants is the only thing that matters.

A real neolib would be desperately seeking a compromise just to make sure things can start running smoothly in any way, but Theresa May is a spiteful idiot who believes in nothing but herself.
