UK Politics
General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

They'd do what the EU always does, split off in to groups of Yes and No, and use that to drive a better negotiation position.
I see no practical reason why France, or any other net contributor, would object to another net contributor joining, as long as all of the UK's historic exceptions were removed of course.
That isn't to say it would be quick, or easy.
It would be a negotiation. Neither side would get everything they wanted. Though the UK would be the weaker party. When the successful negotiations would announced, it would be the value of both parties. I don't say currencies, as the pound may be the high price we pay.
