The General Political Thread

[Cazasar]

Yeah I know. Thats why I wanna work for the state

[Duuring]

Is there actually a 'final' date on which the deal must have been reached so that all parliaments can ratify whatever is reached? I'm hearing autumn of this year, but nothing more specific.

Also, new poll, of course about Brexit, because I'm boring.

Where's the "EU collapses before Brexit can take place" option?

can someone remind me why they're doing this again?

Is it more economical or just not wanting to deal with the EU's bs?

From what I’ve heard from leave voters it’s a bit of both

[Duuring]

Research by political scientists suggest that there are several factors, of which immigration is the most imporant one.

But they were not in schengen..?

[Duuring]

Schengen is just no border control. Any EU citizen can still enter, live and work there. And it's sorta doubtful that will change.

For me it's mainly the bs-the whole system is pretty rotten yet essentially unreformable, of which this particular story is the latest example:

In the short term I expect Britain will be slightly worse off economically but I always saw Brexit as a long-term proposition. The way the EU is run means it cannot sustainably deliver wealth to its citizens over the long-term.

As rotten and unreformable as the UK, or worst?
