Dumbass doesn't realise getting out would break apart the UK. gently caress him so hard for starting the process of destroying his own country and threatening all of Europe only to further himself. I swear the only government that does diplomacy worse than him is China. It's very fitting that the UK right likes to kowtow really hard before China then.

Pluskut Tukker posted:Really smart, telling the people who will have to approve the UK's exit agreement with the EU that they're idiots. Like every other leave campaigner, Farage has no idea whatsoever what Brexit means. Unlike every other leave campaigner, he actually wanted to stumble into Brexit and therefore sees continuing to piss off everyone he possibly can as his job.

A Pale Horse posted:In light of whats just happened do you really think a hard leftist is electable? They're panicking because the shift in the country is to the right, not the left and they don't think they have a snowball's chance in hell of winning at the next election with ol Commie Corbyn at the helm. Just my guess. They don't have a snowball's chance in hell of winning at the next election while still in full damage control mode from splitting the party (effectively or actually). Also they have expressly said they'd rather lose to the Tories than win under Corbyn.

That would require him to have principles beyond "gently caress foreigners" and "FYGM". e: on this day 6 days ago Britain voted to shoot itself in the foot and apparently liked it, because it has shot itself in the other foot several times since then.

Because the PLP (the Labour MPs and only the Labour MPs, who have historically been pretty isolated from the wider party membership) think that Labour aka the British workers' party should be a centrist or even centre-right party instead of a moderately leftist party. Now that the wider party membership actually voted in a leftist they're trying to fight the Red Menace.

The court there determines if a UK law is constitutional but there's no formal constitution so it's done entirely based on case law and the relevant laws with no formal set of principles about what is and isn't important. It's obviously not impossible but it's just so clunky. Also silly and anachronistic, i.e. very British.
