BREXIT - June 23rd 2016 vote - *ARTICLE 50 TRIGGERED!*

[Bawon Samedi]

Welcome to the Fourth Reich. Where Germany today did what Hitler never could do by brute force and that is control Europe...

 

[Scoop]

No, but as far as the federal government in America goes, thats the biggest problem.

Conservatives will bring up places like BMore and Detroit as proof of some failed liberal utopia. But conservatives have their fingerprints in places like those as well.

Edit: u aint American? Uif not, u don't understand our version of conservatism. David Cameron would be a Democrat here

I'm American. Are you British?

 

[Tony D'Amato]

Then u should know the insanity that is American Conservatism

He probably thinks Kansas was a crowning example of conservatism.

Farage isn't in the Conservative Party.

I know breh I meant at least the other main advocate for leaving the EU will still be running to be PM...or maybe he's also just good to criticize from the sidelines?

 

[88m3]

Fair enough, but it's still a bytch ass move to punk out when what you've were advocating for just succeeded

When I saw the alert on my phone I chuckled. The leave voters really got taken for a ride and now that the vote has been finalized the leave advocates like Boris are running for the exits.

Question now is who will they try to blame other than themselves

"Oh but we didn't know our vote would count"

The election up coming is only within the Conservative Party. Conservatives have a majority in parliament so the party gets to elect the prime minister. People outside of the conservative party don't get to vote. Conservatives aren't going to elect someone who isn't in their own party so Farage has to sit on the sidelines.

Well it seems like xenophobic attacks are on the rise, only matter of time before they start attacking their own I figure. I really don't see a way forwards after the article 50 either, especially with the ideals/promises laid out by leave.


I always took the British populace as being relatively well educated, this is embarrassing and sad to watch. Even the lightest reading of the leave camp's reasons to leave should make anyone say wtf this doesn't add up.

You think Hillary is a crowning example of liberalism.

Wait what? Cameron resigns as PM and it's only the Conservatives that decide who is the next PM? I'll take that L, didn't know that's how it worked.

So you're telling me the PM resigns and they don't have a general election?

TBH none of this is really surprising tbh, for a European as myself

they could have a general election before 2020 though

Yep, there's no general election required until 2020 even if Cameron resigns today.

Prime Minister is simply the leader of the majority party. Whether Cameron is PM or not, Conservatives hold a majority. Members of parliament of the majority party vote on Prime Minister.
