THE PWNER posted:lmao at the fact that we´re headed for a fascist west by the centenary of fascism fascism happens when all the alternatives to look worse than shaving your head and going around beating the poo poo out of people for poorly explained reasons when you realize that fascism is winning you don't go around telling people that fascism is bad. everyone knows that fascism is bad. it's loving retarded and nobody ever actually thought it was a good idea. you look inward and go "wait what the gently caress are we doing wrong that everyone wants to go do that poo poo instead of listening to us?"

Hammerite posted:lol there is a thread about this in dnd and the first two pages is all people saying "if there was a general election and labour got in somehow they could ignore this right? that's a fine way for democracy to work surely" whenever democracy happens the radicals on the losing side bitching about how democracy sucks in this instance it's people in dnd bitching about how it's old white people's faults if remain had won it'd be /pol/ bitching about how it was the immigrant's faults it boils down to people saying that certain segments of the population should be denied suffrage for not agreeing with them, and it's always stupid and it always happens and if you look at the specific people who end up bitching about it always ends up being the best argument for the merits of democracy because holy gently caress, if we had a dictator it could be one of those guys

rezatahs posted:wow that sounds like just like some other prominent politician over here in murika you find them everywhere and counterintuitively this new era of everything everyone says being recorded and permanently available for review seems to doing really well for them I guess it's because in this era everyone will eventually be caught saying something stupid or contradicting things they said earlier and while other politicians will rationalize or attempt to explain what they said, and sound stupid doing it, this kind instead just steadfastly pretends that they never said it and totally ignores and refuses to engage any attempt to call them out on it

it's hilarious that people are going to leavers and saying i told you so about the economy when it's abundantly clear that none of them gave a poo poo about it at all and the leave campaign's bit on the economy boiled down "it'll probably be fine, who cares" like they're still going to be banging on about "no look at these stock prices and the currency exchange, don't you feel bad" even when Nigel Farage's first act as PM is to defund the NHS and use the money to erect a giant billboard saying "gently caress you" in all the EU languages and point it at brussels

City of Tampa posted:when 100% of the media I was watching the BBC and like half the night was spent with them bringing a Remainer on and saying "Well how do you feel about the fact that we're leaving" and the remainer spending their whole time saying "Well, it's not a done deal yet, we don't KNOW that we're leaving, there are still some votes to be counted" even as every declaration threw more and more onto Leave's fat lead and you could see in the background of every shot of a BBC correspondent at a Remain HQ that they were the only person still there, reporting on a ghost town as everyone had already gone home to commit suicide

Earwicker posted:well of course but what i mean was that there didnt seem to be any major public demand for the referendum at the time it was announced but rather that cameron announced it then entirely for his own political reasons Leave sentiment was growing and there were a few people agitating for a referendum. I think Cameron could have easily put it off without facing any sort of public backlash, but decided that he would call it quickly in the hopes that Leave wouldn't have built up enough steam, the referendum would fail, and everyone would shut up about it. He was probably thinking that, with the trend showing support growing, and his term stretching out ahead of him, that he'd have to hold one eventually, and the sooner it happened the less likely it would be to win.

Bishop posted:Everyone likes to make fun of Americas electoral system, but we can't gently caress up this badly with a simple majority vote. honestly as stupid as this currently looks considering the financial nosedive currently occurring, I don't think this is actually all that stupid for the simple reason that the EU loving sucks, the eurozone is self-destructing and the EU is becoming increasingly controlling in order to try to save itself obviously the economy is going to tank, anyone who said that it wasn't is stupid, but the economy was going to tank anyway and I think extricating themselves before the EU fully imploded is probably going to eventually be a positive thing I mean the Brits aren't part of the Eurozone so maybe they could have just ridden out the EU collapse and emerged on the other side okay but it's not like they've actually given up a good thing here, the EU loving blows and concerns over sovereignty were becoming less and less stupid, especially after what happened to poor old greece

Wipfmetz posted:That form of sweet swiss independence, where you still follow pretty much whatever the EU says, without having a vote in their decision making? you're assuming the EU is a thing that is going to continue to exist other countries are now pushing for exit referendums. If the EU tries to really crack down on Britain for trying to leave they show themselves as exactly the kind of union you don't want to be a part of, and if they don't and a bunch of other countries vote to leave the EU will slowly deflate and die the only real hope for the EU right now is that they give the Brits a fair deal and then really commit to reforming, and then other countries that hold leave votes don't pass them. then it could survive.

Wipfmetz posted:I don't think the EU is trying to "really crack down" on switerland, neither. At least I wouldn't welcome that. No, a Norway or a Switzerland type deal wouldn't be cracking down. I mean if they give Britain the same kind of deal they gave the other countries that wanted to be in the EFTA without being in the EU, that'd be okay. Obviously that entails certain regulations that British companies end up having to follow because otherwise the EU markets won't take them, but at the end of the day I think the EU is in deep poo poo, especially now, and the only way to save themselves is to really commit to reform, and to fixing the problems that caused heavy anti-EU sentiment in Britain and other countries.

Wipfmetz posted:Yeah, that's the type of deal I'd see in the future. Are there really any "BURN BRITAIN TO THE GROUND"-voices? There were certainly people on the Remain side who said that leaving would result in the EU going full scorched earth on Britain, and I think there may have been one or two comments before the referendum that could have been loosely interpreted as threatening, but for the most part since the hammer came down they seem more concerned with preventing damage to their economies than with punishing britain, and preventing damage mostly involves keeping things as similar as possible

Wipfmetz posted:Britain shouldn't really hold the "exit referendums are a sign of collapse"-thing too high. At least not high enough for Scotland and Northern Ireland to see. I don't think they're holding that sign high, I think that's the literal truth. When you have large parts of the populations, and potentially voting majorities of them, in your member countries clamoring to leave the union, the union is not doing well. I mean sure there's always going to be malcontents, but in this instance it was more than half of Britain and could very well be more than half of the Netherlands, who are likely to hold one soon as well. They don't like the EU and they don't feel that they're represented in it, and so far the response from the EU has been smug and dismissive. The Brits leaving could be the kick in the rear end that the EU needs to finally fix its poo poo, or it could be the kick in the rear end that knocks it over.

Earwicker posted:I think the point that poster was making is, following this same logic if Britian's vote on the referendum results in a new vote for independence in Scotland (which according to their PM seems very likely) then what does that say about the UK as a union? fair enough, this referendum does further play into the Scots feeling that the UK doesn't represent them in the same way that the EU didn't represent the UK Not sure if the Scots would really vote to leave but it's certainly their prerogative to do so and it's certainly fair for them to call for another referendum after this since it's such a big decision and it's clear that the majority of scotland didn't get what they wanted out of it
