After Theresa May's deal was defeated AGAIN earlier this week, it was made clear that the UK is in no way ready to leave the EU, leaving the PM to go begging Donald Tusk for an extension to Brexit

would the eu even accept that? if the uk decides not to exit? didn't england get some favourable terms to sign in the first place? i'd imagine the eu would have some demands to revoke some of them to allow them to stay and then the english will bitch about it because for whatever reason, they seem to think they still have an empire

[benihime99]

The EU already said they would accept that
The European Court of Justice ruled the UK can cancel Brexit without the permission of the other EU members

[hereforthedrama]

yes, they would, and have said so repeatedly. they have tried to make the best out of a really shitty situation, and the mistrust that the UK has in the EU is baffling tbh.

[justrachna]

yeah i am confused too. like that's a great deal if they can revoke the withdrawal with no penalties. why the hell are they even going along with this charade then?

[maynardsong]

I don't suppose we Yankees (well I'm from Virginia, dunno how accurage a term "Yankee" would be for me) can sign this petition?

[spankmypirate]

No, only British citizens or UK residents can sign

[problematic]

According to google, one of the definitions of yankee means a person from the US so it works. lol

My friends and I take a shot each time a Brexit vote ends in a loss for May.

At this point, I mostly just sigh and smh.

I masturbate every time Bercow yells ORDERRRR

I am all out of orgasms tbh

brexit has to happen i think anything else would cause rioting. in ten years or so a new referendum should be held and the uk or whatever is left of it at that point can try and rejoin the eu at that point. it
was stupid to let it get to this point in the first place as there shouldn't haven been a referendum,but since it was it should've been legally binding so if campaign rules were broken (as they were with the leave campaign spending) it would nullify the results. if the result was still leave the government would then have to say ok we didn't plan for this let us decide if we're gonna listen to these ADVISORY results and of course article 50 shouldn't have been triggered without an exit plan. but not it has to happen and i cannot understand how people cannot accept that. it is not my desired result, it is not the best result for the people of britain, but i bet you if you went around asking people who voted leave they'd vote leave again as this wonderful guardian video shows
but people campaigning for a 2nd referendum

lol at hugh grant, what must elizabeth hurley think i love this

[xtinkerbellax]

This kind of reminds me of like, the coal miners of West Virginia.

[spankmypirate]

I watched that earlier. Those kids around 12 minutes in made me so sad

I think riots and upsets will happen whether or not Brexit happens, but we'll see

[fauxkaren]

After seeing what a clusterfuck Brexit is, I don’t understand how any Leave voters could still stand by that vote. Brexit will be a huge disaster for Britain, any way you slice it.

[jarellano89]

Aside from riots and looting, what do you foresee happening? What are they gonna do about their economy?

[triviagogo29]

We see people all over the world voting (again and again) against their own interest. Trump in the US, Republicans governors and senators and congressmen, Bolsonaro in Brazil, the Conservatives in the UK. You see people in literally the whole Western world believing immigrants are the reason why their living standards are falling. You see the media and establishment figures everywhere feeding this narrative, with even liberals joining in so their neoliberal projects and friends aren't harmed.

It's weird people everywhere are living through this daily and yet, when it's the UK and Brexit in specific, they act as if people being ignorant and supporting things that goes directly against their interest is such a novel concept and they suddenly can't understand what is happening.

[freeze_i_say]

Greece’s referendum was also people voting against their interests
