And in what world would China allow Japan to have such high IQ.

Funny but true.

Brexit vote tomorrow. Got to say, most people expect a no-vote and tend to agree, but it would be quite the meme if the British parliament just gives in and supports the deal.

Nah. Fuck the country I guess.
Probably one of the very few old-timers here who hasn't been a regimental leader.

You're better off having a poll on the scale of the defeat lol. I expect it'll be something in the region of 130.

Yep, that would probably lead to years of political unrest in the UK (especially in England).
But it doesn't look like May is staying much longer. ^^

Is it legally possible? Yes, but even if it wasn't that doesn't matter. Plenty of illegal things happen in the EU so long as the political will is there.

Now in other news, as Germany heads into recession whilst Britain has the highest GDP growth of any major EU member state, I'd like to take this opportunity to gloat about how wrong Duuring's predictions of economic doom have turned out.  ;)

UK had lower gdp growth than Germany and France in 2018. You were probably looking at inflation rate. Plus UK is still a member of EU.
