Go It Alone United Kingdom!

Well it's been voted for three times now... which is two more than it should have been.

They better ****ing do it.

What's an example of Americans voting on something specific (probably on a local level) and the gov just not doing it?

2016 Election

 

[Phase2]

Wow. Just wow... From 12/11- one day before the British elections:

Hillary Clinton, Chris Steele Allege Boris Johnson Is A Russian Stooge

So, Hillary is back at it, trying to taint another election with Christopher Steele.

2016 Election

Yep. People on the other side if the aisle talking about impeachment even before he had done anything more than getting more EC votes than the corrupt coughing killer c**t!

Ours has just been a bit more slow motion.

 

[Phase2]

From the BBC: If the exit poll is correct, and Boris Johnson has secured a majority, then he will have the backing of MPs on the green benches behind him to take us out of the European Union next month.A huge junction in our history - a moment that will redraw our place in the world.
But not just that - if correct, these numbers could mean five more years of a Conservative government - tipping across a decade.
After the fourth defeat for Labour in a row - after several years when they have moved further to the left - this is a serious and historic loss.

Oh for the States to exit a forced "union".

It appears that there were two votes on Brexit. The first direct referendum to remain or leave, and this election. I’m not sure what kind of **** the remainers will pull now. Do they have some mechanism like impeachment over there?

I stand corrected. I forgot about the MP election. That’s 3.

Forced union? do you even history?

 

[BigRed]

Forced union? do you even history?

Indeed I do.

Glad to see the little twit, Corbyn, got spanked.

I see the Scots voted for the separatists as well.

 

[Libertarian01]

Conservatives - 364 seats
Labor - 203 seats

Good on Boris!!! Now get Brexit DONE!

To put it in their words, "Oy, that's a right crackers win for the Tories!"



The Iron Lady would be proud, RIP.

While it sounds good, I'll wait to see if it finally gets done before raising a pint.

That's a long time to be sober...

That just applies to beer, in pints.

Don't go telling me you're drinking metric beer!

They still have a framework for trade. If UK leaves the EU it just defaults back to WTO rules rather than the 'ever [STRIKE]more strangling[/STRIKE] closer relationship'

They traded with Europe before the EU and trade with the rest of the world without most other countries being in the EU.

I've heard of a yard of beer, but have never seen one. Maybe it's a meter on the continent.

They traded with Europe before the EU and trade with the rest of the world without most other countries being in the EU.

Before the EU they traded with the individual nations of the EU, each one looking out for its own trade interests. Now many of those nations are beholden to the trade policy of the Brussels HQ, which will still try to punish the UK for leaving. Merkel is already squawking that trade deals must "preserve EU values" and such. Trade agreements will get done, but it will be a bumpy road.

I'm interested to see what Trump will roll out. This is a perfect opportunity to tweak the EU's nose by giving the UK special trade statuses. I dunno if it is still true but a few years ago Britain was the number one market for French champagne and other wines. Would be funny to see Trump and BoJo float an idea to replace that with American wines. The gilets jaunes would go into overtime.

p.s. I read someplace that every Conservative MP that went against BoJo and Brexit lost his seat.
