UK representative democracy died on the same day the referendum was called. If the last 3-4 years have shown us anything it is the UK parliament no longer works. Ironically supporters of leave used the last election as confirmation of the referendum result.
Freddie Mercury was once asked, what instrument do you play? The audience darling, came the reply. This is what Boris does to the electorate. Tells them what they want to hear. Much like Thumps voting base (like the Trump voting bankrupt Montana farmers sitting on a mountain of Soya with no one to sell it to). Vote for the soundbites, forget about the consequences.
Jim Jefferies speech from 4 years ago.. he was spot on.

The necessary steps were taken by the voters and now it is full steam ahead...............at least on the planet that most of us still live on.
Maybe you could give us the view from Planet Deludia?

They clearly haven't researched matters properly.

The leavers pretend the country is united post election. Truth is it remains sorely divided, with years of recovery ahead before any possibility of economic prosperity.
Life is short, why be part of the Whateverspoons homemade depression?

Originally posted by Platypus View PostAnd yet, if being in the EU equates to "power" then these are rated below the UK in that list
Czech Republic 9
Slovakia 10
Hungary 10
Slovenia 11
Latvia 11
Estonia 12
Poland 14
So the UK does have more "power" than [some] other European countries.
I was thinking about visa free travel, although the media likes to equate that number with "power".
It will be interesting to see how many countries the UK loses (in terms of visa-free travel) after the transition.
