Boris will be bookmakers favorite, but the likes of Michael Gove will throw his name into the hat, but literally is no big name in Conservatives outside of Boris. Farage isn't in conservative party so he can't be considered unless he changes colours but that aint happening. | ||

As tepid as the status quo seems it's hard to imagine how half a nation can jump into the deep end without having taken a good look. I haven't read one cogent piece on how exit negotiations might go or preliminary projections on the post EU world. It's just Yolo hope for the glorious past in the future. Two world wars and all but once the red menace is gone the Europeans can't play nice. Meanwhile Machiavelli Jr. Probably has a shit eating grin right now. :D /facetious | ||

Quite agree with this, I am saddened by the choice of the british people and the internal political play british politicians have pulled out recently. But this is a chance for mainland Europe to strenghten ties and integrate further, in a better fashion. It's a huge opportunity. And if the UK thinks it will be better off outside of the EU, no doubt the EU will be fairing very well without a solo player in a teamgame. | ||

For me that is a negative. British liberalism has been positive for the EU. I greatly regret this. | ||

Germany probably still the biggest soloplayer in there tbh here goes hoping that changes with this | ||

I can't recall there being "safe spaces" in universities 30 years ago.Progress! Fact is the youth are increasingly stuck in a child-like state, not able to think critically or entertain ideas outside of what the left wing politically correct dogma of the day is. Their argument was based on brexiters being "racist", ignoring the fact that Poland doesn't have any black people.The government in fact made it harder for Non-EU immigrants to enter because they were getting so many (overwhelmingly white) EU migrants. | ||

As a young person I don't give a flying fuck about the politics of the matter I only care what makes sound fiscal sense leaving the EU doesn't make any sense it that regard so it's a bad idea. Pretty simple concept to grasp. | ||
