Guavanaut posted:Your username just reminded me that Theresa May banned catha edulis using the Lee Rigby murder as an excuse even though they had no loving connection at all. I'd forgot all about that until now. Is there anything loving left to ban after the legal high ban made anything with "psychoactive" properties illegal?

happyhippy posted:Aw man, imagine the massive orgasm that we will have when Gove and IDS resign this time tomorrow. IDS resigned a while back, and Gove has signed a letter imploring Cameron to stay on as PM regardless of what the result is. I wouldn't be surprised if he's using that to make him look better if/when leave loses and he doesn't quit.

sudo rm -rf posted:did the remain campaign ever touch on the UK being the only major english-speaking country in the EU as kind of like, a gateway for doing business in the EU for all the other english-speaking countries in the world? Ireland speaks English and has lower taxes, a whole load of American tech and pharma companies have an EU hq there.

Although even if remain wins, the home secretary (and potential future tory leader & PM) Theresa May wants to rip up the European Convention on Human Rights, which the Belfast Agreement relies upon, so renegotiating that could be fun!

ReidRansom posted:OK so I finally found a live solution, and you guys are freaking out over like 13 of nearly 400 places reporting and a mere 15,000 vote lead for dumb on 800,000 votes with like iunno 26,000,000 votes expected maybe? If Vermont is the first state to report in November and it goes Republican, that would probably provoke a bit of a freak out despite it being only a single state with a small population, no?

Northjayhawk posted:Another ignorant American who hasn't paid much attention to this. What little I've read, which is American-centric, says that from our selfish point of view, its best for us if they vote to remain even if there are defensible arguments to remain or leave from the point of view of British voters, but they don't usually elaborate other than saying we're on team remain. (Also Trump believes they should leave the EU, which makes that side automatically suspect even if I know nothing else) This is a pretty good resource to get breakdowns of the arguments from either side.

Brannock posted:This is a nonbinding resolution -- if there's a Leave victory, and it's greater than like 1%, what would the political repercussions be if it was spurned by Britain's leaders? It's nonbinding in the sense that no referendum can ever legally bind parliament (nothing can). But effectively it would be insane political suicide to ignore the results.

Cactus posted:Is turnout generally better in these things for those that want to change something compared to those that want the status quo kept? Because that was something one of my colleagues who also wants to remain was worried about, and it kinda makes sense anecdotally. The status quo was supported in the AV and Scottish independence referendums.

lfield posted:So how bound is the government by the referendum? Can they say nah, gently caress that, we're not leaving, despite the vote? They're not at all. Nothing can bind parliament, legally. But if they say "gently caress that" they're basically writing a suicide note for their party. And a good portion of the party are pro-Brexit anyway. So...

lfield posted:I've seen the Chilcot report mentioned a few times as a reasoning for the timing of the attempted PLP coup. Maybe the PLP just thinks that having a leader loudly condemn decisions made by the party hurts their electability more generally than making any particular member look bad. Although that hasn't stopped half the party from engaging in a competition to shout the loudest about how wrong Labour got it on spending and immigration, I guess.

There's a video up on the BBC news site with reactions to the referendum result, and one person who was happy with it was a guy with a swastika tattoo who swore he wasn't a racist.
