Hilary Clinton, Tony Blair and Renzi to Europe: Close ur borders, it's what good centrists do. quote:Clinton was speaking in the quiet of her midtown New York offices, just before the midterm elections. She admitted to still being “absolutely dumbfounded” by her defeat, and reflected on the sudden appeal of combative, supposedly straight-talking candidates who, she said, spoke to people’s emotions, not their reason.

She'll never keep her head down and allow herself to be rehabilitated the way Bush was because she just can't shut the gently caress up. It's a good thing. I'm still convinced she's running again in 2020.

1glitch0 posted:What the hell do they (anyone) want May to do? I'm not well educated on her politics, but Brexit just seems like a disaster. What is or isn't she doing that she could be doing better? Brexit is a disaster and was, for decades as well as during the referendum, sold as a sort of weird panacea to all of the UK's structural problems, most of which were caused by the Tories in the first place. Now that the rubber has hit the road and it turns out that Brexit will actually make most things worse, there's no more answers to be had; May's still desperately trying to pretend that her poo poo Brexit deal is the unicorn panacea, even though anyone who can read can see that it isn't the case. Never pity her though; she volunteered for the job and was already scheming to take over from Cameron even before the referendum - plus she was an invisible Remainer during the campaign. gently caress her.

1glitch0 posted:Thanks for all the answers, y'all. Who in gently caress's name knows. You could have a new referendum (binding or advisory) that puts 'no Brexit' up against May's deal (or No Deal gently caress You) but the current government would need to legislate to get one, and they never will. You could have a general election, but the current government would have to lose a vote of no confidence first. And then you'd need to assume that Labour would campaign for, and deliver on, a new referendum as legislation. And it's not sure they will, could, or should. Also, all this needs to happen before March 29 2019 when the UK just straight up leaves due to the legal procedures put in place regarding leaving the EU. To prevent that, you'd need the current government to send a letter to the EU kindly asking for more time while they fight (yet another) general election on Brexit, or have another (non-binding) Referendum. The most likely answer is praying to mighty C'thulhu. That could do it.

Not a bad way for thinking about Brexit and UK party politics is like this: you can 'win' Brexit or the next election, but not both. Choose one.

Failed Imagineer posted:Tories were 2:1 Leave and have trended further in that direction since, while Labour were 2:1 Remain and have also gone more that way since. So yeah, it's not exactly halves, but neither can afford to piss off such large segments, at least without having been seen to Yeah, plus those 1/3rd are (I think) very regionally located; like if Labour went hard remain most of their Northern strongholds would be immediately in huge danger of turning Tory, and there's no guarantee you can make that up in the South somewhere.

FizFashizzle posted:just lmao at ireland in this whole disaster. Nobody knows. The essence is that the Good Friday Agreement (you know, the thing that stopped generations of Irish people from killing each other) states that there can be no hard border between Northern Ireland and the Republic. A No Deal Brexit would deliver that hard border. It's been one of the EU's hard lines throughout all this - that the GFA is respected whatever happens. The easiest way to do that would be to install a customs border in the Irish Sea, but then you're de-facto breaking up the territorial integrity of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Plus, May's government is dependent on 10 absolutely crazy, anti-abortion nutters from the Ulster Unionist party, and they don't want a customs border between them and England. There's really all flavours of madness.

Helen Highwater posted:The correct answer is that it never occurred to anyone that NI was hosed until about a year after the whole thing started. Like, none of the Leave campaigning mentioned the Irish border at all. Then all of a sudden, someone realised that the Good Friday Agreement pretty much stops working if the UK leaves the EU. The Irish thing is really fundamental because it's exactly where the question over trade, borders, custom checks, territorial integrity etc. become real. There's no loving around there.

CyberPingu posted:Every fresh produce transit from NI to Rep and vice versa gets turbofucked as they cant afford to be held up by border checks when they are running this stuff back and forward 10+ times a day There's literally farms with land that crosses the boundary and roads that skip back and forth for like 200m in one country and then the other. The only people Brexit looks like it might be really, really good for is disaster capitalists and Irish smugglers. Not that that's led to any kinds of problems in the past.
