A small majority of the small amount that actually voted. Lets not act like its one half of the total population against the other.

I feel the leavers were more motivated. Should have been a mandatory vote but I don't know if that's legal.

I’d like some more clarify from Labour on what their plan is if they’re successful in preventing this deal going through because if it’s this deal or no deal then I’d rather they voted it through, but if there’s a plausible way of preventing Brexit by voting it down then that’s ok.

Well the EU themselves now appear to be adding to the confusion. They are saying this is the only option now but next week they'll be hinting that calling brexit off would be totally ok with them *thumbs up*. I have no idea if we can cancel brexit before March and I doubt the fuckwits in Parliament do either.

I have a feeling most brexiteers won't actually make the connection between their life getting even shittier and brexit. Country is falling apart before brexit has even happened but it couldn't possibly be because they keep voting for the tories.

I find the idea that we’re going to build our own GPS alternative quite thrilling and I’m surprised the EU is being so short sighted as to freeze the UK out of the one currently in development.

It’s the first time I’ve thought of the EU as being less than pragmatic during this process.

Yeah it's really cool that we're going to waste millions when the continent right next us has a system already in place. One that we did a lot of the work on.

I guess it's worth it for the 100 or so STEM jobs it creates? (It's not worth it).

So, I've only been vaguely following Brexit. Were there any laws in particular that the British found so onerous that they had to leave the EU?

The real kneejerking began late 90's/early 2000's with refugees of the Balkan wars and then Polish immigration. When that got boring the papers started going on about EU banning bendy bananas and back then even non-gammon people used it as a talking point (about silly bureaucracy). A rogue press, Tory government and Iraq/Afganistan/Libya wars and corresponding refugees drove the gammons into a mad-dog state. The Tories then acted surprised when the mad-dogs bit them.

All the emergency funds will go to emergency firms set up one month ago and run very badly by Tories and their bezzie mates. There will be inquiries as money vanishes and people die. Strong reccomendations. No consequences.

No Tory will see any blame for brexit once the dust settles. Corbyns plan to avoid the blame is insanely naive and pretty stupid. Within 3 years all the media and 70 percent of the public blame corbyn for brexit like labour and the GFC.

No brexiteer will realise theyr wrong

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/jan/05/brexit-corbyn-electoral-catastrophe-yougov-poll

Article is written around a dumb yougov poll. Let’s ignore that. Ok yes it will be bad for Corbyn if he doesn’t resist Brexit. I agree. But this article doesn’t seem to give a gently caress that the whole reason this is such a mess is that plenty of Labour voters voted leave.

If Corbyn had supported remaining when all these dickheads wanted him to it would have been disasterous. It would have united the Tories and the press could have ran day to day ‘traitor Corbyn’ front pages. Instead they had to make up some anti-semitism stuff.

I'm just a jackoff yank who mostly shitposts for laffs, but I don't see how there'll be an opportunity for a political realignment before the deadline.

From an outside perspective I think the most likely outcome will look a lot like the 2008 bailout package here in the US: May's deal gets rejected with much chest thumping and talk of Blitz Spirit or whatever the gently caress and then the markets take a massive poo poo and the deal passes on a second panic vote.

No Deal is still the comedy option, but it's way, way more likely than I ever thought it would be. And that's frankly pretty frightening.

Why would it pass on the second vote? If there's a panic its more likely its used to finally make her gently caress off even if it involves them threatening to murder her in a closed office somewhere. This idea that May is in a strong position with her weird hostage plan is dumb. She's dumb and holds no power.
