How is stuff like that not considered treason? @grant

Who thought putting a person who was against the measure in charge of implementing it would be a good idea?

Apparently the Brits who are too polite to call people out on their BS

It's like if people voted for Donald Trump's agenda, but put Hillary Clinton in charge of implementing it.

I seriously would like to know which genius thought that was a good idea

At this point the Tories are no better than Labor.

@grant In reality it was more Nigel Farrage's doing who then decided his work was done after the referendum.

So did he need to hold the people's hand? It was voted for. It's their job to see it through

I agree, but with a bit of foresight he could have anticipated that the Eurofiles would push every button possible to make a Brexit impossible.

They were never going to make him prime minister

Right, but they could have used him as a negotiator for the Brexit talks with the EU.

I agree he should have stuck around and kept pushing

I just wish people would stop relying on someone to keep pursuing the things they purport to want

The whole thing fell apart when May thought it was a good idea to force elections to completely oust Labour.

Tbf I think it was a good idea to have elections, she just fucked them up as shockingly as humanly possible!

The problem from the start was May.

That's what happens when you elect a woman.

Oh...I mean

It was a shame

She has no children either so she not invested in the future of the country.

That Rees Mogg guy seems to have been the guy for the job.

Or even Boris johnson

He's become kind of a popular figure over there, Rees Mogg

Sounds like a D&D character

A lot of Brits seem to think he is too conservative but I even heard Labour voters say they would want Mogg just for the Brexit talks.

You just need a hardliner for the negotiations so you get a good deal on the break away.

My girlfriend (British) who was a Remainer is now at the point where she says: it was voted to Exit the EU, so just do it and stop playing around.

People smell BS in the water

I sure am not the most educated on Brexit....however I do know the EU financials are a mess and only getting worse...Greece is in a depression, Italy expects growth next year to be a whooping 1.5% how shitty does the math look for the gov best guess is that? Likely recession there. German just pulled a -0.2% for Q3....And the ECB said they would end QE in Dec....not likely

The funny thing about it is that the only necessity for a booming economy is for the government to restore faith within its citizenry. Entrepreneurs make an economy, not a government. People will invest in a country that they are certain will protect their investment and if Europe doesn't evoke enough confidence to do that, that's their folly. Although that's also not to say that government spending and red tape does not play a huge factor in the matter.

Well with the EU it has to do with the red tape and DEBT...

Stuff like that doesn't really inspire entrepreneurship, now does it?

they are linked

I know. That's what I'm getting at. They aren't wholly unrelated. I have high doubts that politicians understand that fact

I think they know....its more a willful denial. IMO

Florida elections should be absolutely complete in 10 minutes. What’s it look like so far?

No change in winners

Rebs. They were up too much

Might get a hand recount if close enough

Ok

Oh the real loser might be the Rebuplican running in the 89 State Senate district there. He is only up 100 votes or so....Hard to see how in a Democrat controlled, district where votes keep being found, that he is going to win.....What a mess down there
