In other news, Russia is basically bankrupt now after having to pay to get this result.

lul

Assuming a widespread campaign to analyse and exploit the deepest, most complicated thoughts a britbong could create, diverting the minds of millions of even the most intelligent island dwellers... I'd say they paid fifty bucks for an ad in the sun.

Sooooo, bankrupt?

/r/drama was part of my shift rightward. There are a lot of rightoids in there doing the lords work, showing people to the light. Ironic rightoid posting can still red-pill people. And good drama is still good drama, whether it's chapotards sperging out over ableism in the revolution or the Donald Defense Force sperging out about NPCs. Drama is one of the few places where actual fascists and actual leftists clash on a daily basis, and it's pretty entertaining.

I'm currently banned for circumventing the custom subreddit style at /r/drama though.

It's over for Ted-Heath-cels

As much as I hate to say it, you are right. People are cherry picking in their own analysis of the results.

The ultra-hard-Brexit parties might not have had a clear majority, but when you combine it with parties that support any Brexit they emerge on top. As much as I hate to say it.

I'm getting the feeling that he really hated to say it.

Calling the redo election a 'people's vote' because your side lost last time is a pretty good bit of branding imo.

At least this episode will completely kill the idea of referendums on important issues in anywhere besides like Switzerland.

I've never really understood why having a technocratic bureaucracy had any attraction outside of saying "We have a combined economic output slightly higher than the USA" which is an actual argument I heard from Romania.

Is it a continental pride thing because Europe is a shithole? Why does having a mercurial regulatory body making bad decisions in an undemocratic fashion seem appealing to most people? Like passportless travel in exchange for safety and democracy?

In theory it's to have a legislative body that will drive consistency in rules across member states.

This will reduce the overhead cost and increase opportunities for businesses (within Europe and large ones outside) looking to do business with clients in multiple member states.

It also allows Europe to engage as a unified bloc in protectionist economic warfare, for example constantly passing new laws to penalize and push out US tech startups.

That's worked great lol. Everyone in Europe uses Nokias

Nokia is primarily an internet/5G infrastructure company now, they sold their phone division to Microsoft several years ago.

They sold their phone business because they got outcompeted by Apple in Europe and the rest of the world. Europe couldn't save them

Europe secretly not-so-secretly hates Finland.

Like passportless travel in exchange for safety and democracy?

yes europe is well-known to be one of the most dangerous and least-democratic places on earth

Maybe she meant in exchange for as in you get force fed safety and democracy instead of exercising your God-given right to get shot and corporations lobbying their right to fuck you in the ass?

European/Canadian/Australian millennials/Gen Xers that I've met across my globeshitting just seem to be people with a dispositional faith in government combined with a skepticism for even the most tepid kinds of nationalism. It's no surprise the EU exists. A new rule comes into effect, and people who would have been inclined to disagree seem to support the new rule based on the fact that it's now codified and official. I don't get it, but fuck, I'm an American so who cares?

Compare their countries to our states. Makes more sense to me like that

If you're an American you already get to experience what the EU is trying to achieve, you moron.

Wouldn't it be the largest political party in the UK, not Europe?

The election is for seats in the EU parliament; the Brexit party so far has 29 seats, putting it on par with the CDU as the largest party in the EU parliament.

Oh gotcha, I thought it was for the UK parliament.

Yeah, I messed up the title.
