The Conservative Party would implode if it didn't execute article 50.Mr. Viking wrote:now the big question, will it really happen, ie. which politician will be left to pull the plug now they've all resigned
What I think might happen though is at the next General Election, whenever that is, the Conservative Party will have a manifesto commitment to following the result of the referendum whilst Labour and the Libdems have a manifesto commitment to European Union membership.
Although speaking from a Labour perspective a lot of that is dependent on whether or not Jeremy Corbyn is still leading the party.

Re: European membership referendum
I think the split won't happen. Or at least I hope it wont. It would be a catastrophic failure, a failure to remember what happened the last time the Labour Party split. With SDP becoming simply a shock by-election force in British Politics and the Labour Party suffering for much longer than it needed to.Mr. Viking wrote:or perhaps which Labour party Jeremy Corbyn is the leader ofTheDrunkardAnglo wrote:Although speaking from a Labour perspective a lot of that is dependent on whether or not Jeremy Corbyn is still leading the party.

Re: European membership referendum
You've got that ass backwards. I've lived in the UK my whole life and our drinking laws are far more restrictive and oppressive than those of almost all EU member states, and they are not imposed by the EU, they are imposed by our own homegrown governments. Scotland, where I live, has the tightest booze laws in the UK. If I'm on holiday in mainland Europe I have none of the same problems trying to get a drink as I do at home, they use bigger measures than us, they sell later than us and earlier than us, they sell cheaper than us etc. EU membership is not a bad thing for the UK or its drinkers, but the right wing have spoken so we're fucked now anyway as they're pulling us out of it.Patchez wrote:FKR never said anything about costs of booze. He was referring to the EU's nanny state tendency to do what's best for you. So they hinder your ability to enjoy adult beverages in any manner you see fit.
Shit happens here in the States all the time. Pennsylvania is in the Dark Ages with some of the worst Draconian blue laws on the books. Plus liquor is only sold in state run liquor stores. If prohibition taught this shitty state anything it's that having a monopoly on all the booze in the state is profitable as hell.

Is that the one where East Coast USA and Canada side up with Iceland , Greenland and the UK to start a new super drinking power in the world?
