His government refuses to give his countrymen a referendum on EU membership

>His government refuses to give his countrymen a referendum on EU membership

>his government gives his countrymen a referendum but refuses to acknowledge the result

Fascism typically simulates a democratic façade to veil its nature from the public.

it depends on their constitution lad

Yeah, feels bad.

>You'll never have a referendum
We had a referendum
>You'll never vote to leave
We voted to leave
>You'll never invoke article 50
We will invoke article 50
>You'll never close articl 50
We will within 2 years at most, if not sooner
>You'll never physically leave the European continental shelf

Well I suppose you got us there Hans.

>it's now a 2 horse race for the next pm
>both candidates are female remainers

Article 50 will NEVER be invoked

Despite both remaining contestants for the job of prime minister stating that theyll invoke the article?

Well it is technically non-binding
As part of the 48% I hope they pull some dodgy shit and just sort of ignore it. I mean I'm not delusional and know there will be anarchy if they do, but one can hope...

>Well it is technically non-binding

Itd take mass political suicide to stop it

I heard that Boris isn't running for PM? What's up with that? I think he'd be a funny meme PM

We had two and we said no both times, they won't let us have one on Schengen and EEA though, probably because we would again vote no.

The government doesn't have to honor non-binding referendums, but both possible PM's have promised Brexit means Brexit.

>I heard that Boris isn't running for PM? What's up with that? I think he'd be a funny meme PM

He was going to run and probably win but his main supporter and presumative second hand(michael gove) abandoned him for no reason and ran at the last second so boris didnt bother standing and thengove got wrecked in the nominations because everyone considered him to be a backstabbing traitor.

Who's the left wing candidate these days? Like Cameron probably only won because Milliband was such a joke, at least that's how it seems. The right wing in the UK is like more nasty to the working class than other Anglo countrys it seems so I don't see how they ever get in besides when there's a joke like Millipede as the alternative. Cunt can't even eat a sandwich

Also what is the left wing called there?

>for no reason

LMAO no politician wants anything to do with leave, they believed the british people were not fucking dumbasses and were proven wrong, now they have to pull out or get forever burned in history as the PM(s) that oversaw the dissolution of the union, no one wants that title, not even nigel "the scaredy cuck" farage

>Who's the left wing candidate these days?

There is no popular left wing party in the country, but labour is ran by a left winger and the moment and he has no chance of winning. I disagree with his politics but I quite like him since hes a nice guy and he will make sure labour is unelectable. The BNP has no seats, sinn fein doesnt take their seats, the TUSC has never won any seats and RESPECT lost their only seat so at the moment there are no socialist parties sitting in the commons apart from maybe the SDLP which I dont know much about.

>The right wing in the UK is like more nasty to the working class than other Anglo countrys

It depends on what you mean by right wing. Theyre pretty much all right wing as in capitalist, but if you mean as in the american conservative way there are the DUP and UKIP. UKIPs kind of a funny party though, its a conservative party ran by libertarians but I suppose thats alright. The DUP is based but they only run in northern ireland unfortunately.

The traditional left-wing party is Labour, but since Blair they've moved into the centre and there's a not a lot that distinguishes them from the traditional right-wing Conservatives. However, the current leader, Corbyn, is a genuine left-winger who surprised everyone when he won the Labour leadership. He has high support from party members but not from the other Labour MPs, who keep trying to force him to resign. After Brexit, most of his shadow cabinet resigned and blamed him for Leave winning. As things stand he's held firm and remains leader, but it's thought that he'll never be popular enough nationwide to win the general election, so Labour MPs will continue to try and get him to stand down before the next general election.

Other left-wing parties are the Greens, headed by Caroline Lucas, and the Lib Dems, headed by Tim Farron. Lib Dems have lost all their credibility since they were in a coalition government with the Conservatives and failed to deliver any of their manifesto, and pretty much just let the Conservatives do what they want. They're trying to win support back from the liberals by pledging to ignore Brexit if they get elected, and remain in the EU. The Greens are a typical modern 'progressive' left-wing party, full of the SJW shit that most of us hate. They're popular enough amongst students and in very liberal areas, but at the moment only have 2 MPs so don't really have any power.

>LMAO no politician wants anything to do with leave

Michael Gove and Boris Johnson were both the leaders of Vote Leave, there would be no sense in him abandoning Boris when he did the exact same thing with the same amount of publicity. Also, the two people left for in the vote to be prime minister are both saying they will leave and will have to be the ones that make us leave.

>Other left-wing parties are the Greens, headed by Caroline Lucas, and the Lib Dems

neither of which are left wing in the slightest

Yes they are, they're just a different type of left-wing politics compared with traditional socialism. They still show many of the markers of left-wing politics, such as concern for the environment and social progressivism.

Tories are right wing and it sounds like labour is called the left wing. Although it sounds like they are both centrist clusterfucks like here

I only heard about Corbyn when I was watching the brexit news thing. Need a strong Left wing leader. because our politics has gotten caught up in the shitty personality politics that America espouses. Basically thanks to America we're all fucked because the figurehead of the party counts more than the policies it seems.

The only person currently doing anything that I have heard of is Johnson and it sounds like he's dropping out anyway.

Meh left wing is a meme just like right wing but I think you think that the left wing wants to cause communism or something when it's more about fairness and more of the pie for the people at least in the memes

The Greens are literally 99% blairites, and the lib dems have never ever been socialist

>I'm not delusional and know there will be anarchy if they do
Fucking kek

tea spoon revolution when? Remember not everybody who voted leave is a brain dead YEWKIP VOTAR

To be fair, Corbyn was a huge outsider for the Labour leadership but managed to appeal to the core voters because he was the only one really advocating a return to proper left-wing politics. I'm not yet convinced that he wouldn't stand a chance at the general - political predictions have been pretty poor in recent years, and he might win a protest vote because there's still a strong anti-establishment feeling around the country. Labour have lost a lot of voters to UKIP over immigration concerns, so if he manages to convince them and win them back, I think he'd have a pretty good shot. That said, he handled Brexit very poorly - it's thought that secretly he favoured Leave, but would have been ousted by the Labour MPs if he admitted that, so he just half-heartedly campaigned for Remain instead and didn't do a great job of convincing anyone. Should have stuck to his principles imo, although admittedly that's a lot of guesswork.

Johnson has already dropped out, it's already confirmed that the next PM will be either Theresa May or Andrea Leadsom. I don't like Johnson much, he's a populist who seems to change his views at the drop of the hat. Again this is guesswork, but it's suspected that he secretly wanted Remain to win, but for the vote to be close enough that David Cameron would lose his credibility, at which point Boris would be able to seize the opportunity to become PM. As it turned out, he didn't even get the chance to contest for the Conservative leadership post-Brexit because one of the other Brexit campaigners, Michael Gove, stabbed him in the back. I'm sure we'll see him again though, probably hoping to be the next Conservative leader after Cameron's successor.

Has anyone in the Royal Family weighed in about the leave vote? Seems to me that leaving is best for them because being head of state and all that. Seems like a confused situation where the laws can be dictated from outside onto a monarchy.

A few tabloids ran front-page stories before the referendum alleging that the Queen supported Brexit, but I have to say that I didn't even bother reading the story because I just assume it's bullshit. Similarly I don't know if any of the other members have publicly expressed any opinion about it. To be honest the royal family is pretty much redundant anyway, they don't really have any actual power (or, at least, they choose not to exercise any of their power, and leave it to the politicians). So the issue with sovereignty was laws being dictated to our parliament, rather than our monarchy.

>referendum
>being respected

lmao
Fucking Sarkozy.

what would happen if a women enacted the article?
what would the leftists even do if that happened?

Why would we have one? There was a vote on joining EU before we joined, no point to vote again on the same issue

>the finnish people voted to get cucked
