So a chick is going after Corbyn's seat? And 2 chicks are fighting for the Tory Iron Thrones. I hope Hilary pick Warran as her running mate because I want to see this all-female reboot.

what does non-binding mean?

I am too dumb to understand.

That means UK can ignore the result of the referendum if they admit they don't have a democratic political system.

It was a funny story how he agreed to do the vote since he thought it wouldn't win and it would appease various whiny Tory backbenchers.

D Cameron will be remembered as a hero who started the brexit process 30 years from now by the prosperous Trans-Atlantic Union.

The US already had a UK continuity bill in the senate this week. I think the republicans want to make Brexit work because Obama said Brexit was dumb and they all hate Obama therefore they think Brexit is good.

Of course US wants Brexit. EU as a political regional superpower has been greatly weaken after 2008 financial crisis, the Brexit is a final blow to ensure EU is nothing a first tier superpower. A divided europe also let America manipulate the European geopolitic much easier through the NATO and IMF platforms.

The President of US when dealing international affairs, always act in the best interest of US, it doesn't matter if it's Obama or a Republican president who make the deals..

The globalization bankers actually don't share a lot of interest with the poor regional racists and young city liberals, they are trying to hide themselves from the central conflict. It's not that hard to buy themselves out of the spotlight if the political machine is a 2-party system.

Britain is a lot like Game of Thrones. It's fun to watch on tv, but you'd have to be a loving idiot to actually want to go there.

Real life Game of Thrones spoiling the book is awesome. Book hasn't reached the War of the Five Queens yet. The IRL version already have Queen Merkel, Sturgeon, May? We just need Clinton take control of her house and maybe Eagle flay Corbyn and we will have a proper War of the Five Queens.

to be fair, Marx would have been unable to work at BestBuy too. the guy was basically a spoiled millennial baby himself

Marx wrote for 19th century VICE. Also Engels picked up Marx's bills half of the time. I actually can't think of a modern equivalent of the support offered by Engels.

It's definitely outdated but almost never used correctly to begin with, especially with the "third world".

I prefer the term "Global North" and "Global South". If people want to say "The Western World" just go ahead and say it there is no need to bring up the "first world."

The Brits never wanted to be part of the Europe. They wanted to be part of EU when their economy was poo poo; keep voting no on most of the integration issues to slow down the progress of EU; wanted out when the economy is doing decently.

The politicians are all open or secret brexiters. Cameron organized a referendum when the national anti-EU sentiment is high, so they can hide themselves behind the "national mandate". Oldman Corbyn is a brexiter too, he barely did anything in the referendum campaign.

"The EU is in a chaotic state, I think it's time to jump ship" said UK.
"You have done your job well, come back and debrief" said US.
