Vengarr posted:Realtalk, Cameron calling for this referendum is the greatest political fuckup of the 21st century so far, right? I dunno. He could have won it, had it not been for Merkel. It was an unwise high stakes gamble either way. My point being, as far as loving and the uppness of it are concerned, his has to contend with hers, and that's a close race.

Decebal posted:Funny reading all the headlines like " EU leaders scramble for options" "EU ministers to hold EMERGENCY meetings !" All part of the EU hubris that led to the referendum in the first place.

"Now, before I talk about the economic implications of our country leaving the EU, let me just say that everyone who votes Leave is a racist nazi who should be shunned and exiled and fed to the dogs." I wonder why people didn't continue listening to Remainers, after an opening like that.

khwarezm posted:Criticism of Mass Migration that fixates on a particular ethnic group (whose immigration probably won't be that heavily effected by Brexit hilariously) and constantly stokes fear about how they are about to murder everyone around them kind of is a bit racist actually! ISIS: Not about to murder everyone around them. Fair enough.

khwarezm posted:Every inhabitant of Turkey, Albania and Bosnia are part of ISIS now. He said, as Erdogan started to rub shoulders with Hamas just now. Speaking of the other two, I don't see why you'd want potentially unlimited immigration from any country, muslim or not. Seems like it'd be better to pick who you want to let in your country, instead of having an EU dictate it to you.

Elukka posted:Wait what the hell, since when is the EU a leftist thing? The left in my experience tends to be fairly tepid about it because while they tend to be into international cooperation the EU tends to push a pretty neoliberal agenda. And the economic right tends to be much more strongly for it than the left. (Are people confused over the difference between the European and American meaning of 'liberal' or something?) a lot of EU skepticism comes from people who prefer a nation state, a motherland, to a very impersonal, distant and poorly legitimized EU. To the left, one shred of patriotism already equals Maximum Hitler. That, and the whole Internationalism of the left: "Workers* of the world, unite." *People that yell this the loudest are not workers themselves.

hemophilia posted:Enacting change usually requires a real mandate whereas the status quo requires nothing. You want the brexit to happen so youre setting aside how loving insane it is to let half the country decide for the other half how it gets to proceed in the global economy. Had this been binding you can bet your rear end a supermajority wouldve been needed and for real the margin of your victory makes it utterly meaningless. Had 66% wanted to leave, that would be a real mandate and represent the will of the people. Instead you have a vicously marrow margin that merely points out how dovided your country is. Your elected betters can and should weasel out of this because doung something tjis monumentally stupid without a supermajority just means you're going to polarize and fracture your kingdom. Hope this helps retard you are mad you lost. ha. edit: "elected betters" you mean the dead pig fucker? Velkest fucked around with this message at 15:20 on Jul 2, 2016 |

hemophilia posted:You can't even admit that a simple majority shouldn't be able to drag a nearly full half of the country that was in opposition to this into this situation that will affect everyone, and the children of everyone. You can't accept that because you only barely got an outcome you wanted. Do you know what a Pyrrhic victory is? If you get your way, that's what this is. If the UK left with a supermajority, united in their will to leave the EU, that would be different. Instead you're probably going to lose scotland, and North Ireland is going to move that way too. The emprie is dead and England isn't that useful scotland to the world without scotland's oil fields. A brexit would rear end-gently caress your finance sector, which employs basically everyone and pays off the pensions of the dying old people that voted for this. spain's not gonna let scotland into the EU, cuz then Catalonia fucks off. also not all of scotland voted remain, son. but then i'm better than a dead pig fucker, and you are not.

Stoatbringer posted:Bye-bye to the billions received for redeveloping poorer regions. Britain pays more money into the EU than it gets, just like France and Germany. That's british money in the first place. now if you're arguing that being in the EU would force a Tory government to spend british tax money on its own people, fair enough. That shouldn't apply, theoretically, to a Labour government though. (But then again seems like most social democrat parties all over europe are all about that neoliberalism.) btw i don't know that much about the finer points of british politics, as i am not from the uk.

Young Freud posted:Brexit's never coming. when some of the bigger complaints about the EU are that it is both undemocratic and also an incompetent bureaucracy, to negate democratic decisions via bureaucratic means really isn't helping their case. That brexit is coming, sooner or later.
