Brexit. Like electing Trump, but dumber.

Eh, like the upvotes to downvotes, they're both pretty even in terms of the detriment to their own countries respectively.
Youhavinagiraffe
The "Brexit Delivered" picture should be blank because the UK is still a member of the EU. We had EU parliament elections last month!
eratosthenesearth
Incorrect. This should be a drawing of the car since there's still no Brexit. Parliament is against every type of Brexit.

Brexit isn't inherently nationalist. Painting the side you don't like with a nasty color is a slimy tactic.

Depends on whether they only kill irish people or if they start blowing up London again. About the latter the PM might actually care.

If it's bojo, I doubt might will come into it unless they blow up his house.

Nationalism is fine if it is coupled with a firm resolve to work together with other countries to the benefit of all nations involved
YouGotBird
Yes. For good current examples look at Norway and Switzerland.
TheWombatStrikesAgain
Maybe in theory. But in reality nationalism has atendency to turn things into a zero-sum game. For you to win, others have to lose.
YouGotBird
Brexit will cost UK initially. But in the end they will be better off without the EU-federalists.
CantankerousCantaloupe
Without foreign investments and trade deals with all their major trading partners? And without Scotland or Northern Ireland?
YouGotBird
Which trade deals will they be without? America is a big one and already promised a good deal. You think you can't trade without EU?
CantankerousCantaloupe
The 27 EU-countries plus the 36 trade deals EU has. UK is far too weak alone to get any kind of fair deal out of US.
derkatwork2178
Nationalism is merely liking your nation. There will always be groups that ruin every subset of people. Example: PETA, Seahawks fans.
eratosthenesearth
No it ain't. That's called patriotism. Brexit is not pro-British, it's anti-foreign.
fanmac001
That's patriotism what you're describing, nationalism is thinking your nation is superior to others
dankenmutt
Nationaliam is thinking your country is better than others and the interest in the detriment if others...
derkatwork2178
I think the US is awesome (not perfect) and I would put its interests first. Is it wrong to want to put your own nation’s interests first?
dankenmutt
No its not, the line has to be drawn at some point e.g. lamborghinis for all the people in your country vs charitable aid to a country
dankenmutt
Devastated by famine and dusease has a pretty easy moral answer and all these questions have to be asked for each decision...

So how does the Brexit negotiations in UK Parliament go?
Youhavinagiraffe
Every realistic option is voted down and crazy unicorn options are still treated seriously. Literally no progress in 3 years.
GoldenSour2
They hate the deal. They hate no deal. They won't cancel Brexit. The EU will not negotiate a different deal. Schrödinger's Brexit.
TheWombatStrikesAgain
They will exit on october 31st. Them not wanting a no-deal doesn't overrule the timer on article 50.
LlamaEaters
As of this moment, are EU immigration and trade rules still effective while they sort out the deal?
GoldenSour2
As far as I know, yes. Until the November deadline when no-deal full brexit kicks in unless they agree on something by then.
LlamaEaters
Shit. That would be the worst case, wouldn't it? I hope they decide to cancel Brexit, or somehow give them a soft deal.
mormacil
It would, it means the UK loses all trade regulation with the EU. Forced border checks on all imports including food.
LurkerOfDarkness
In theory the UK could stay in this state of leavibg the EU but not actually doing it forever.
tiikki
The EU has to accept that too. The Article 50 (exiting EU) had 2 year limit on the length of the process and it can only be extended by all
tiikki
memberstates approving the extension. It was approved only until Oct 31st. If UK parliament still sits on its thumb there is no gurantee on
LurkerOfDarkness
Of course but none of them actually want the UK to leave, so they'll go quite far to extend the deadline until they run out of excuses.
tiikki
EU agreening on continuation of this charade. Then it is no deal brexit and EU has all the cards on the EU - UK trade negotiations.

If I've learned anything about the hard Brexit crowd, nothing is EVER their fault.
SqueakyBumTime
But it'll be a trainwreck for the public, the tories will be sweet with their money already out of the country.

One fairly likely outcome is Scotland and Northern Ireland (and maybe even Wales) leaving the Union. That helps the Tories.

He doesn't have to force anything. They voted against a no-deal Brexit, but they also voted against every single possible deal. All he (1)

I think (hope) after the drubbing Labour got for their wishy-washy position in the EU elections, they will take a stand and demand that a

The EU expecting the UK to pay billions to leave is just hilarious to me.
Peekari
That's not really the consequences of either a deal or no-deal Brexit
GoldenSour2
Isn't the main cost to relocate the EU medicine agency? They should pay the cost if they're the ones leaving ?
ChloeRed
Main cost is pensions for UK staff, commitments to projects we agreed on in the past, etc. The EU medicine agency move isn't even part of it
TheWombatStrikesAgain
It's hillarious that they force them to fulfill commitments they made long before Brexit, including pensions of british EU officials?
Sumdumguy42
UK expecting to have favorable deals when showing that they don’t hold up their end of the bargain (i.e. EU bills ) is just hilarious to me.
TheWombatStrikesAgain
It's not a bill. It's longterm financial commitments completely unrelated to Brexit.
Sumdumguy42
Bills. Plural. In the sense of bills such as a utility bill or electricity bill, not a law.
TheWombatStrikesAgain
Ah. Thanks.
banwetmarkets
The UK has a massive trade deficit with the EU, a trade war will be far more damaging for the EU, simple maths
elemcsere
What they get instead is all the companies moving to remain within the EU. And it is mostly done, no matter what type of deal they manage.
Sumdumguy42
The trade deficit is 95billion in goods with a surplus of 41billion in services. Guess who will be hurting with London no longer being the
Sumdumguy42
European center for financial transactions? All major banks need to move to Europe to keep access to the EU market.
Sumdumguy42
And why is the deficit? Because UK doesn’t produce shit and has to import everything. Apart from that, there is a difference between
banwetmarkets
Thanks for proving my point and agreeing with me there is a massive deficit that will damage the EU more than the UK if there is a trade war

A trade war and not having a trade agreement.

No one ever expected it to be easy but we seem to be making it harder than necessary.

equipment. And hoping the gym owner is okay with that because one time you bought a smoothie and also you used to be a global empire! (2)
IamIanMoone
More like the gym owner wants to make changes you don’t like but when you try to cancel he tries to bill you for three more years dues...
IamIanMoone
Because he was counting on your money to pay for it all.
tiikki
The money is what you have already agreed to pay years ago on projects benefiting also UK.
tiikki
UK will be able to participate to those projects as long as they are operational. One example would be scientific research.
YouGotBird
Agreed
TheWombatStrikesAgain
No, the bill is for the retirement cake for the janitor which you agreed to contribute to years ago.
IamIanMoone
So without the UK they can’t afford a cake?
EpilatorAlligatorBothReduceGrowth
Changes and compromises are part of development.The premise of that UK was hard done by is tabloid victimisation delivered by BJ et al.
IamIanMoone
So you agree that the EU should be prepared to change and compromise on the withdrawal agreement or only the UK?
spattr
EU guy said today, their deal is their deal & won't be changing. It was always that deal or no deal. That won't change with a new PM.

It is not about hurting them - It is about U.K wanting to have everything, and pay nothing. There is more to it, but that is the essence.

This is such BS, EU doesn't want to hurt UK, they just wont do a deal that would break up four freedoms or violate other agreements and laws
channelranger
I mean, the thing is being part of the EU is a massive benefit to the UK, so simply leaving *would* hurt them.
TheWombatStrikesAgain
The EU can't make non-membership more beneficial than membership. For some reason London refuses to understand that.
ChloeRed
I'd object to that.. London itself knows, Westminster is the bit of London that doesn't.

Control trade & people at borders to UK, but also free trade & movement into EU. Lower standards on goods, but compete on same terms in EU

So they want others to keep borders open to them, but close their own?
