Re: EU referendum are you in or out
As Darkflame said Cameron has resigned now so article 50 doesn't get triggered for a few months. A downbeat Boris has been talking about not pulling up drawbridges. There's alot of people in Westminster trying to work out how not to leave the EU. Expect skullduggery albeit skullduggery for the right end.
I'm wondering if a snap general election won by a party with a remain manifesto pledge would derail the referendum result. It would mean alot of MPs falling on their swords for the greater good though.
As per the FT piece, article 50 has a 2 year maximum time unless there's unanimous agreement to extend. With a bit a law fiddling we could end up in a state or perpetual leavingness. This seems unlikely; would require Europe-wide collusion.

A GE at this point is a monstrous, many-tentacled strategic mess under FPTP.

Yes, the "great" in Great Britain is geographical and simply means "big", in the sense of "the Biggest British Isle". That is, the mainland of Britain.k345y wrote:Who said it ever was 'great' isn't the 'great' in GB a geographical term?

Also, does UKIP now cease to exist?
They were formed to get out of the EU. It's been achieved. The single issue party no longer has that single issue to worry about anymore.
Yeah, I'm just grasping at straws to try and find an upside to all of this somewhere, basically. And the thought of never having to see Farage's smug face ever again is a tempting wish.

Can't properly link tweets here. Bah! This is from UKIP's London chairman: https://twitter.com/MichaelPDeacon/stat ... 8767576064.

But where the fuck does Labour go now?The ghost of raids past wrote:No confidence vote for Corbyn
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-36621777
They've just been told that if they continue to be pro-Europe their heartland support is perfectly prepared to fuck off to UKIP. And they've also just been told that sober, sensible politics appealing to what's in people's best interests and the right, socialist thing to do loses dramatically to a couple of fat jolly toffs insisting everyone else is out to get them.
I don't know where to go now. I've felt disenfranchised for a long time, but never like this. I thought I had a home in the north, of people who felt like me, who were inclusive, open members of society. Now I'm one of the loonies.
Re: EU referendum are you in or out
Fucked if I know, Dio. I've been the loony for so long now it feels natural.

Re: EU referendum are you in or out
Dissing Corbyn in this makes no fucking sense whatsoever. This so-called "unelectable" leader (who was voting in with ~70% of members behind him) runs a supposedly shattered party but even with little effort reportedly 70% of Labour voters voted Remain.
But apparently he's got to go? Fucking nonsensical. I genuinely don't understand what's going on right now but I want away from it as soon as humanly possible

From the looks of it that 1% meme should be reborn as the 50%. Half of people seem blissfully unaware of how disenfranchised the other half are.
