So it's now up to the German chancellor to decide what the EU can and cannot do then?

Brexiteers are just gamblers. They risk things when they don't know what the outcome might be. However the curious thing about gamblers is they tend not to gamble to win. They gamble to.. gamble. The process detaches them from day-to-day realities and gives them a sense of bravery, decisiveness and self belief. This is why it is difficult to bring them down to earth by pointing out the fact they lost. They aren't actually motivated by whether Brexit is a good thing for them or anybody else. They voted because of the empowering sensation they got from ticking that box and inserting that voting paper.Last edited by Cirrus; 1 November 2018, 07:23."Don't part with your illusions; when they are gone you may still exist, but you have ceased to live" Mark TwainComment

Sith philosophy lionizes conflict as a catalyst for growth and as a tool for purging the unworthy. Members of the Sith Order adhere to master morality, are characterized by the desire to seize power by any means necessary, leveraging force (both physical and supernatural), social maneuvering, and political cunning to their advantage.
It's no wonder that every British fascist outfit is on their side.Comment
