But Constitutional Government and "powerful state" are not exactly compatible
Feudalism sounds more appealing every day.

Once again I agree with Marc Thiessen. That the Dems are refusing to dicker with a transactional president like Trump is going to drive me nuts.
Finally had a chance to catch up on the Brexit news from yesterday. Totally unsurprised by the result of the no-confidence vote. No one else wants to be PM that most Tories would want to see in the post. May wins by default because she's the most palatable of those who will actually do it, not because anyone really wants her there.
Anyway, with this out of the way we at least know that this is it. May can't be challenged again for a year. I suspect there may have been Tories who wrote letters to bring up the no-confidence vote now so that it would be impossible to hang it over May's head for another year.
As I understand it, the only way to change the playing field now would be for those 117 Tory no votes to join with Labor and the Scots to force the government down entirely.
How uninspiring. But then, the British people have rarely inspired confidence in recent years.
But those 117 could well lose their MP elections, so they'd have to risk giving up power. I doubt we'll see that happen.
So we now see if May's tenuous position will allow her to extract anything else out of Europe. If so, this theater is all worth it for Britain. If not, and I expect not, then it's all up to Parliament. May's deal or no deal...or I suppose May could just rescind the Article 50 call and reset everything.
No deal is still very much on the table, which I thought would inspire some here.
Honestly, if I were a betting girl, which I am not, being notoriously risk-averse, I would bet that Britain will end up falling out because no one can come to a decision.
At this point, no deal is probably the best option.
But no one likes watching their leader flub policy. It shows weakness.
No deal was always the best option
The British will need to decide that.
The only deal the EU is even willing to accept is worse than no brexit at all
The British already decided, Brexit means Brexit!
It just...it turns my stomach.
Less than a century ago, Britain was one of the most powerful nations in the world.
Now, they mewl like babies at the idea of not being in an international union.
You used to rule a quarter of the world, and you can't survive on your own!?
Worthless Europeans
guy shoots up France
but they wont post his pic cause of laws and cause many Europeans are cucks
theres the guy that THEY CANT FIND CAUSE THEY ARE MORONS!
so I have to get this news on a Taiwan animated site for news
Kind of hard to catch the guy when the news wont report it and you cant post his pic
Then they all rally around and pull on each other's dicks when Trump comes around
and says. Hey fuckos. maybe you pay your own fucking bill instead of use Americans to protect your coward asses
and then they all get back into their circle and start pulling on each others dicks again
suddenly one comes out from the circle and says. I have a declaration to make!
We shall go around the US and trade with the terror nation of Iran ignoring the US
bunch of worthless cowards
