this is why i am always going to detest cameron.

he could have threatened to uphold a referendum if he wasn't happy with the concessions of the EU.

getting what he wanted and only promising to maybe campaign against LEAVE was a weak, hypocritical masterpiece of a failed gambler.

he will be famous for destroying 2 unions.

How do we live in times where I agree much more often with Antonio than with Vosem now?

if i read your posts right, you are part of the dying breed of pro-western "nationalists" aka power-to-the-peopler, who are most often found in UK atm.

should automatically lead to strange bedfellows in our "interesting" times.

did no one mention that the house of lords crushed the existing brexit "bill"....? seems like a good first step.

UKIP has done its job now... it has gotten us out of the EU.

only hypothetically - practically they could never ever have done it without mental support in big parts of the tories and the working-class base of labour.

the logical result of decades of british anti-eu propaganda and framing.

i am btw sick of people explaining that Brexit until now wasn't very damaging for the UK.....

brexit hasn't even started, so all bets are still off.

atm i can't see how a soft brexit could happen, if we take the current positions and promises and follow them to the logical conclusion.

the UK isn't switzerland, which can just change its positions a few years later and forget it has ever happened.

and to be fair...there is overall NO reason at all for the EU to offer london conditions which are MORE favourable than the ones under which the EU operates with norway/iceland.
