You brits have had a fucking conservative government (fuck "new labor" neocons) since the 90s. What the fuck is your problem?


irony when blair brown and major were probably more left wing than any US president in history

Journalist who is required to be impartial by broadcasting regulators spouts nonsense about the Leave rally being 'white'. Of all the things to criticise them on, why did he choose skin colour? How about the fact that there was no coherent plan among Leave politicians and hardly any had the balls to stand up and lead.

Since he married with Precious Lunga i guess he's now another white genocider, such a bias, scandalous.

"What is dead cannot die"





relatively easy:

first question: which one of the following options do you prefer: A: a no deal brexit, B: a brexit with may's deal or C: cancel brexit and remain in the EU
second question for those who voted for option C above: if brexit is happening, do you prefer: 1.: no deal or 2.: may's deal.


a 3 option ref, with a follow up question in it, that should be included after a, b and c. being for May's deal, doesn't exclude prefering to stay over a no deal.

so you'd say having an expirimental ref not tried before, making the most important decision for a country.. easy ?

that guy is still around? fucking hell :lol:


Yeah, he's works as an advisor for several right wing parties in Europe. He began working with VOX around a year ago, and it's really showing during the campaign. It's creating a bit of tension within the party, as it started off as a traditional conservative party, and not a populist alt-right movement... some old guard member's aren't happy about this shift to trumpism. However, the controversy this populism creates makes the media talk about the party, and that is basically free marketing... and considering the party only got 0.2% of the votes in 2016, now that they are expected to get 10-15% of the votes, Abascal has a firm and undisputed leadership within the party.

If Brits can vote on whether they like the deal or not, so should the rest of Europe.

I'd rather stay in the EU than have the backstop arrangement and pay the EU £39bn for nothing in return. May's deal is preferable to no deal as we maintain the current arrangements in the transition period and a new PM can then negotiate trade deals in the 2nd phase.

The best thing for us right now is to apply for a long extension of 2+ years, which the EU will gladly accept. Not only do they want to avoid a no deal, they know that the longer this goes on, the less likely it is we'll leave the EU. We need to move towards an AV system during this time frame as the juxtaposition within the main parties is not conducive to achieving true democracy. Out of this there will be 4 or 5 parties that align more with the electorate's views and present clearer voting options. However, while this is idyllic it is unlikely due to the current parties benefiting enormously from FPP and the subsequent likelihood of parties like UKIP and Change gaining seats in the commons. Meanwhile, we should continue to debate the possible options in parliament and any deal made must go back to the people at this stage.

it can actually be made easier:

Please rank the following three options according to your preference. Write the numbers 1-3 in the box before the corresponding options to indicate your 1st, 2nd and 3rd choice.

a no deal brexit
a brexit using PM May's deal
cancel brexit and remain in the EU

Meanwhile in Spain:

lmao, this isn't a joke. Ever since they hired Bannon as an advisor, they look more like a parody party than anything else. Last week they proposed that spaniards should be allowed to bear arms at home, and that if he was president he would award a civil merit medal to anyone that wounded or killed an intruder in their homes. As if we even had anything remotely close to a gun debate in the first place :LOL:


Copy pasted politics lifting off foreign not relevant discussions being in msm. I've had respect for Spanish politics not being on the us versus them bandwagon. We'll see what the future brings, the dutch have recently againt, put to much attention to populism. without a relevant discussion made.

spain is consumed by the us vs them bandwagon. the only difference is that up until recently, the us vs them referred to nationalists vs regional separatists, particularly in catalonia.
