you are right that the terms have changed though. farage trying to bring brexit party into the eu far right grouping was a real turning point, obviously for all-leavers-are-nazis chuds it wasn't but in reality trying to present single issue brexit voters are supporters of the european far right was extraordinarily anti-democratic. still not happy about a second ref but if democracy is getting shat on either way it becomes a lot more palatable.

Wha? Farage already campaigned the first time around by just printing out Nazi posters. Don't you remember the "Breaking point"? And if I had to find a turning point as to when the general definition of Brexit turned to No Deal I'd definitely go with May's election on the plan to crush Labour by going full fash and eating UKIP-

I feel like Tories holding people to the 'sat at a table with drugs' standard could backfire.

Same survey shows that moving to unequivocal remain means the Tories win. Even changing the leadership to Starmer and Remain only just squeaks a win. Labour just can't win on Brexit, it just needs to minimise the damage there and offer radical reform no matter what.

Reuters and the AP are international news agencies that just report factual events.

Aside from that, the best thing you can do is educate yourself about basic facts - once you know even a small amount about a subject, it immediately becomes clear what utter garbage media reports on it are.

I'm UK based and Wikipedia, the National Office for Statistics (a neutral government agency that produces comprehensive data on trends in UK society) and the theyworkforyou website (a website that summarises how every UK politician has actually voted on every conceivable issue) are invaluable.

When you have even a brief overview of an issue from these sites, almost any news items on that issue appear shockingly partial and misleading.

Lionel Barber: So the choice will be approved by the Russian people in a vote? Or through the Duma?

Vladimir Putin: Why through the Duma? By means of direct secret ballot, universal direct secret ballot. Of course, it is different from what you have in Great Britain. We are a democratic country. (Laughter)

In your country, one leader has left, and the second leader, who is for all intents and purposes the top figure in the state, is not elected by a direct vote of the people, but by the ruling party.

It is different in Russia, as we are a democratic country. If our top officials leave for some reason, because they want to retire from politics like Boris Yeltsin, or because their term ends, we hold an election through universal direct secret ballot.
