Cameron doesn't want us to leave and neither do the other EU members, he was pretty much always going to  get a deal so he'd have something to wave in triumph, even if it's basically worthless (it's still going to gently caress over ordinary people though)That's the con really, Cameron has spent all this time claiming the EU is responsible for all our problems, now he has to argue that it's not anymore and we should stay in. He needs his magic beans

I know Cameron doesn't want to leave, that's why this whole supposed hardline negotiation was a bluff. I also know most of the rest of the EU doesn't want the UK to go either, which is I suppose why they made some concessions. But still I'd have liked to have seen him come back empty handed, both because the concessions he got are bad and will hurt people, and because I think he's personally a prick and want to see him fail.

Haha, imagine having to explain that one. I absent-mindedly said "I win, because they think I pissed myself, they have no idea I came all in my pants" when someone mentioned (theoretically) weeing themselves, and there was a tense 3 seconds before they remembered it was peep show and not me suddenly revealing myself as the terrifying goon that I am I have never felt so relieved as when they laughed with realisation

Well yeah of course! But it's a game and the other leaders are in the same business, so it would have been surprising if they didn't give him token concessions instead of going 'haha gently caress you' I wish they'd dragged it out a bit longer so we could have had another day of headline news like 'nobody knows what's happening' and 'this guy went for coffee' and 'Merkel went out for chips'. Can't blame them for wanting to spend as little time with him as possible though

I mean I can't see Jeremy Corbyn having a popular answer because he'd probably say something massively unpopular like "Let's help these people" and so we'd vote Golden Kip or something

The pro-EU wing of the Tories would be loving livid if Cameron manages to lose the referendum. He might survive the inevitable rebellion, but the Tory government would probably be toast.

I work on developing medical devices to help cure cancer? And even discounting the personal dimension of it, lots of other people, both British and otherwise, would get hosed pretty hard too. Except for the rich of course, they'd probably profit like with the financial crisis. And lol if you think that Britain would acceleration it's way back into the EU. It'd just become the "new normal", like everything else the tories did.

With the landslide that the SNP got last May, combined with this May, combined with a Brexit vote that Scotland doesn't vote for? There will almost certainly be another indyref before too long.

Perhaps, but do you not think there would be something slightly off if the SNP kept calling indyrefs until they get the answer they want, it strikes me that people are voting SNP for reasons other than wanting to leave the UK.
