In hindsight pig man promising a referendum was a bad idea. He probably thought the leave vote had zero chance of success.

Rutibex posted:thats the biggest problem with the EU. its a top heavy, appointed bureaucracy so it doesn't have any mechanisms built in for popular reform Not to mention other flaws such as linking multiple countries to a single currency. It's basically trying to make the Articles of Confederation concept work.

The city of London is a pretty cyberpunk concept especially how companies are allowed to directly vote for local issues. Just bypass the middleman

Also most of the meltdown in London was due to how the Brexit will make it harder for bankers to raid the rest of the continent. One of the by product of the EU system was merging financial systems in many ways.

Dirk Squarejaw posted:How much could a country the size of South Carolina really offer to the EU? Also the biggest elephant in the room is even if they adopted the euro to solve the currency problem, a independent scotland would deal with other problems such as sovereign debt. The price of oil is still depressed with many north sea wells getting shut down.

Saint Isaias Boner posted:the tory party has a bunch of crazy backbenchers for whom Brexit was 100% of their reason for getting up in the morning. Cameron is a slick neoliberal type conservative who likes the EU for business reasons. He threw them a bone hoping it would shut them up because he assumed he'd only get into government again in a coalition, and their coalition partner would torpedo the referendum. Unfortunately he won the last election because labour were running some kind of experimental politics mutant against him, but he didn't win by enough that he'd be able to tell his backbenchers to just gently caress off. He called the referendum, hosed up the campaign and the rest is happening. So he pushed the option since it had a unlikely chance in his mind of a leave vote winning and got burned as a result. Also for news from the center, looks the shadow cabinet had a mass resignation this morning: http://www.theguardian.com/politics/live/2016/jun/26/brexit-live-jeremy-corbyn-sacks-hilary-benn-tory-leadership

tminz posted:Yes and I think that's the point it's making. Following through with it will mean political and economic suicide but so will all the other options. All roads lead to the same final destination. If they had any brains they could just use the vote to neg the referendum. Some shrieking euros across the channels say they want maximum punishment for leaving but other leaders such as Merkel said they should try to reform the EU to get the UK back.

opus111 posted:http://www.theguardian.com/politics/commentisfree/2016/jun/26/second-referendum-consequences-brexit-grave The MSM media is dumb, if the UK was smart they could use the threat of leaving as way to encourage reform in the EU. Instead you have MSM media meltdowns over the leave vote being the end of the world for the UK. The Leave vote winning is even worse than a Triffid Uprising!

To me the best thing about the EU is how they put the HQ in Brussels, which is a hilariously dysfunctional country due to all the infighting between the flemish and Walloons. So maybe it was somewhat appropriate.

kikkelivelho posted:Nothing "inherent" about it. If anything, the current state of the EU is unsustainable, and we can't back out now so the only way forward is to go forward. Not only would a theoretical USE rid us permanently of the disease known as nationalism, but it would also allow us to compete not only with the americans and russians, but also with the rising BRICS economies.Why be German or French when you could be an European? The EU attempts integration without fiscal union. Look at how well it worked for Greece or how in a crisis situation you have competing interests like for the refugee situation. The EU is failed concept like the US Articles of Confederation back in the day.

kikkelivelho posted:a fiscal union would obviously be a part of any reasonable USE setup. political and economical stability could be guaranteed through core-to-periphery wealth transfers, the exact same setup that the USA uses right now. The problem is in the current EU system you have rich states that happily throw the poorer newer members under the bus that suits them. Do you really think that rich northern EU countries will sign up for bailing out nasty foreigners or that poorer EU nations would sign over their budget to a bunch of lovely germans? The US Articles of Confederation didn't last for a good reason. There's a good reason why EU stocks had a laughable recovery after 2008 while the US stock market and economy made a much more effective recovery. When crisis hits the US it gets stronger but when crisis hits the EU all the opposing sovereign nations prevent a effective response.
