Revenants Return posted:What is the alleged association between people who want to exit and racism ? Well, as you can see here....  e:on the left is "the black" from Operation Black Vote. She is a Hindu lady, wielding an Apple product that was assembled by slaves. She believes in a rigid caste system where the lowest ppl are untouchables that you can just kill or whatever because they're not real people. On the right is a sporting British lad with a tight chop and a no-nonsense attitude. He seems to be watching a soccer game (or handegg, as you might know it,) off in the distance.

Seeing as how it's non-binding and all, this vote is a powerful weapon for negotiation with EU. They could do something like demand that the NHS be left alone, re-nationalize this or that. Basically, they could demand whatever they wanted from the EU with the threat that if they don't get it, they walk and the EU collapses behind them. GOOD LUCK BOYS!!!

Neurolimal posted:if corbyn wins at least he wont have a greater power enforcing horrible policies. Ofc that involves getting corb into power first If this Brexit vote isn't enough to mobilize the youth to come out for Corbyn while fracturing the olds, then UK should just sink beneath the waves. Right now the conservative party threw the ball to that nerdy kid that no one guards against, and the kid actually caught it! But he's got no idea what to do next, so he's just kind of squirming around while you close in to force a turnover. (This is a football [American hand soccer] analogy)

Roylicious posted:brexit your new MPs haircut because he looks like the worst kind of Boris At the political formation of the US, they held a vote to determine whether the official language would be English or German because the population of German immigrants was so high. Obviously they made the right choice. German is not a v. good language. e: but pre-industrial revolution, the main export from Germany was its people.

Applebee123 posted:Boris Johnson has written in his newspaper column about how brexit "Wasn't about immigration" and Thersea May the 2nd most likely PM launching her bid for leadership has stated that "There is a positive argument for immigration that hasn't been discussed" so it sounds like they are planning an EEA deal with freedom of movement from the eu but no representation of the UK in the european parliament. Basically the status quo now but without any voting power in the eu for the uk. They'd have until 2020 to figure out how to stop UKIP getting into power, I'd guess they are hoping rising national sentiment will get the EU to capitulate just a bit on freedom of movement, perhaps if Marine Le Pen wins the french election. There is some benefit to disentangling themselves politically from the EU. It makes it easier to  if and when things break down, (and we are heading into a period of intense global crisis,) and it allows the EU to strengthen its own form of central governance without the Brits there to piss and moan.Best for both parties, honestly.

Prettz posted:no, you're just mixed up. IMU, "Progressiveism" is about applying the law differently to different people in order to compensate for different situations. So, like, a progressive tax plan applies higher taxes to ppl who have more income and affirmative action tries to compensate for preferential racism with hiring quotas. So "one rule for me and one for thee" is the basis of progressive politics. Certainly has its place. e: another example of progressive politics would be "separate but equal" style segregation.

Dubplate Fire posted:The one really dumb thing about Britain leaving the EU is they are still gonna have to follow EU regulations when it comes to commerce, except now they don't have a vote. The Brits have had one foot out the door the whole time, and it was dragging down the EU's efforts at political integration. Now EU can do what it do, and the UK can shut down w/e agreement they have if things start going poorly on the mainland (they will.) Sometime divorce is best for everyone.
