BREAKING NEWS: May’s Brexit Deal Torpedoed!

[lighteye]

The votes are counted. And it was worse for Theresa May than media votes projections…

The result is a resounding NO to the May’s Brexit deal that never had a chance — 432:202. Worst in the Century.

What next?

• Almost inevitable drop of British Pound.

• A new confidence voting for Theresa May in Parliament on Wednesday.

• If she survives, probably another two months of humiliation in begging of some more “negotiations”.

• A desperate, but unssuccessful attempts of Remainers to enforce new referendum…

• Probable new Parliamentary elections.

• All encompassing crisis because… people should understand once and for all, that “representative democracy” is an oxymoron: if you have a middleman — there’s no democracy. This is a situation where the voice of people was more than clear, and their “representatives” failed to deliver. Wherever you have a “representative”, you have a corruption. Wherever you have a corruption, there is no democracy.

Now the question is — will the British people enforce its will despite the price, or they will become one more colony of an aspiring Empire — EU?

If you can leave at anytime, it's hardly an empire.

If you can't decide how you want to leave and get a vote through parliament, that's not the EUs fault is it?

[eskmcdonnell]

in this world of today, every state has to belong in one empire or another. second question is which. the first question is whether belonging in or to an empire. the UK is grappling with the latter right now.

I think the better term is a "trading block", not "Empire", as countries enter these groups voluntarily for their mutual benefit.

The UK is grappling with a bunch of over privileged rich people who want to get out of paying their fair share to society. The EU's anti tax avoidance legislation comes into force in 2019. There was no interest in Brexit until this law was announced by the EU and then the right wing media went into a frenzy to shift public opinion.

Most people who support Brexit couldn't tell you why it's a good idea. Unfortunately, facebook allowed the Brexit campaign to whisper a different lie into the ear of each person with no oversight or scrutiny.

Democracy requires informed consent. The information many had was false, vague or misleading.

Facebook has a lot to answer for and over the years we will see more of the truth come out.

…as countries enter these groups voluntarily for their mutual benefit.

You are deeply wrong here. There is no voluntarism after Maastricht Treaty, ie. unofficial EU Constitution. By the treaty EU bureaucracy got too much power, and started to enforce everything. That is exactly the reason which UKIP used to start a campaign to leave aspiring Empire. Please note that I always say aspiring Empire for EU, because it cannot be an Empire without its own army. That is why Macron and Merkel mention the idea more often lately.
