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! :'(

Well that would make Brexit a huge success would it not?
No, Britain could simply have remained and not had to endure the deleterious effects of leaving.
Having left, now they have to work on regaining the advantages they once had.
If Britain can manage to get back every benefit of being in the EU without actually being in the EU, that will be potentially the biggest success story that could possibly come from brexit.
Good lord. Obviously that's not possible.
UK voted to leave the EU when obviously they would be worse off. Therefore, UK governance had to leave the EU, but of course they will spend the foreseeable future working to diminish the problems that leaving created.
For example, as part of the EU you have free trade. Leaving the EU no free trade. Therefore, they'll spend the next n years developing agreements to cut tariffs and reduce red tape.
It’s not possible but your the one who said they would spend the next few years working to get every benefit of the EU like free trade without rejoining, if that was pulled off, then Brexit would definitely be a success.
And they don’t have to go back to the EU although it makes the most sense, they can really go anywhere else in the world and try to get a trade deal, it’s really a matter of pride as to who they go to trade with.
What I actually said...
Yeah, and if they can successfully achieve what you said, that would make Brexit successful, would it not?
... and if my grandmother had wheels she would have been a bike.
