So true.

One?

hahaha, it was just cos I was clicking through to another article and saw I had a reply! but thank you.

I’ll clarify: I mean exist in a way that isn’t socially and financially isolating. 

Yeah, but it’s a bit of carrot and stick there. If you market trucks and monster SUVs as somehow manlier, or in fact keep producing and marketing them at all.... I agree that we should make good choices, but the responsibility of the big corporations to push those choices on us shouldn’t be ignored.

We consumers have always bought what they’re selling. If they start marketing more sustainable stuff, we’ll buy that too. Furthermore, try to live ascetically without consuming from the bad guys, and you cannot and still exist. We consume what’s available to consume, and they can affect that.

Do you mean this parliamentary vote or the Brexit referendum itself? It was intended as a sop to the right wing Eurosceptic members of the Tories and arranged by David Cameron without thought to the notion of "what if it wins." He didn't consider details.

Succinct and accurate. Imo we're overdue for party realignment.

This is the correct take, but actually implementing it is like turning around the Titanic while the captain insists on full steam and a quarter of the passengers tell the others that well actually icebergs have some very interesting wildlife growing underneath them.

JRM, the Minister for the 19th Century, that's who.

I'd quite like to see the Jacob Rees-Mogg + Ted Cruz cage match.

That’s again technically correct and logically the most reasonable, but the political facts on the ground here mean that “quickest” is likely to be quite a long while if it does go according to your (agreed best outcome) suggestion (which I’d only give 50/50 probability; MP spines need to grow for me to have faith in…

You're still not wrong, but are you actually reading the content of my comment there? That's the best outcome we can hope for, but the pathway to get there is not straightforward because of how Labour is presently operating.

Yes, it might - if the ruling party had a policy for that. As it stands, Labour has essentially taken Theresa May’s stance that brexit means brexit. Unless there is a colossal upset in which the Lib Dems win a majority - which I am willing to bet my kidneys that they will not - Labour is not going to hold another…

Are you familiar with why a referendum was called in the first place? I think learning about why David Cameron decided to do one night clear up some assumptions.

So, so much worse. I say this as a Dem voter and Labour support in the actual fucking UK.

Labour right now is exactly as bad as it needs to be to accomplish this scenario.

Fine with me as long as Scotland gets to secede and take Britain’s place in the EU.
