news They'll probably have done away with democracy by then.

Just another mindlessly silly fantasy.

Look at the mess we have at the moment.

There is no mess. The UK will leave the EU eventually and that will
work
out
fine.

Are you sure?

Yep, all of a hard no deal brexit, May's stupid 'deal'
and any other possibility will all work fine.

And will we leave properly or with some silly deal that means we're as
good as still in it?

Not in the sense of what most don't like about the EU
like the free movement of EUians into the UK and the
EU telling the UK whether it can have state subsidys etc.

From what I've seen there are stupid stipulations in the deals which leave
us tied to their rules.

But the deals have been binned by parliament and a hard
no deal brexit is almost inevitable now that parliament
cant agree on anything and that how Article 50 works.

And even you should have noticed that that result was achieved by
real democracy not some edict from some self appointed stuffed shirt.

The public was asked a question.

Yes.

Their answer was ignored.

No it wasn't. Article 50 was invoked and the UK is in the process of
leaving the EU.

There is no chance that parliament will agree to revoke Article 50
and so the UK will be out of the EU on 29-Oct unless parliament
can bring itself to agree to something which isnt going to happen.

A proper exit should have been instantaneous.

Something as important as that never can be.

They're clearly trying to back down a bit.

Yes, but they have clearly failed to do that.

If you're told to stop having bonfires in your garden, you don't gradually
stop it over a couple of years.

Leaving the EU is just a tad more complicated than that.

And we have a Prime Minister we didn't vote for.

Someone must have voted for her for her to have ended up an MP.

But not half the population. When we voted in the tories, it was a
different prime minister.

That's wrong with the last general election.

She was put in without an election.

But had a general election after that and came within
an ace of no longer being the PM in that general election. Cant get
more democratic than that.

Americans correctly think this is insane.

They have an even more stupid system where the elected prez
and the congress periodically have a standoff with govt shut
down for weeks or months. Completely ****ed approach.
