ASK ME ABOUT LUMBER

Regarde Aduck posted:

The poorest parts of the country are the bits that voted for brexit the strongest. Wales is one of the poorest places in Europe. And you might think 'well now it's going to be even worse' and you'd be right but most of these people have nothing and no prospects anyway so they don't really give a gently caress that there's no more EU money coming in because non of it was used to bring jobs to the area. What it was used for was tourism. So I expect the economy will shrink even more.

this, in addition, is also part of why labour are really leery about disregarding the referendum result. a lot of already-disillusioned people are going to see the pols just ignoring the big vote, they're all the same etc etc

these are people labour really needs to reach, and saying 'lol ur dumb' is a bad way to do this

jfc imagine if we had 99 years to get our poo poo together in time for brexit tho

Sadly it's only 80 years, the draft withdrawal agreement mentioned that the transition period could be extended up to 20xx.

In the 1990's Sweden held a referendum on nuclear power. The no nuclear side won.

It is now 2019, and Sweden has yet to shut down a single nuclear power plant.

:wrong:

The referendum was in 1980, and the option that won was ”keep the ones we’ve got running until we can replace them with something better, but don’t build any new ones”.

Since then, out of a total of 12 reactors 4 have been shut down, with another 2 scheduled for shutdown in 2019 and 2020, respectively.
