DieselDaisy Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 The issue of the economy in an ''independent'' Scotland is still a puzzler. Before joining the Eurozone Scotland would need to join the EU which could take years, and few are actually advocating joining the Eurozone right now (NB., countries like the Czech Republic, who are pledged to join, rigging their budgets to keep their domestic currency). And if Scotland keeps Pound Sterling, it'll be the Bank of England running the Scottish economy! And a ''new'' economy - the ''Scotty'', ''Salmond'' or ''Sturgeon'' - immediately brings forth logistic and implementation arguments.

soon Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 24 minutes ago, DieselDaisy said: It is more that Parliament has been incapable of choosing a plan. The options, speaking in generalities, were relatively straight forward and set forth before the referendum. I could list them for you but it is incredibly dull stuff. So, no plan was voted for, but a concept. Also making us laugh across the pond is the movement Brexit inspired here called "Wexit" - for Western Exit, the succession of the provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan. Well, their tiny online community actually cant agree if the hashtag they should use is #wexit or #weave. "Weave" standing for Western Leave, as in "Im so mad, I wanna weave!"

AtariLegend Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 If this doesn't swing the polls, nothing will. Corbyn done well, though the Bolvia question was akward. Sturgeon will be happy. Swinson was a car crash. Savage. Johnson is a mess. How is this person running the country? Just lies, lies and more lies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though, whatever you or I think of him, he's the only hope to stop brexit. Doesn't need to win, just needs to stop Boris from getting 320 ish plus. If Labour aren't mid 30s in the polls next weekend, then this is already over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariLegend Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 fyi There was a Farage one on Monday. It was 30 minutes of Corbynistas asking Farage why he's a racist. Pretty amusing, though the Swinson one tonight was more painful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 I don't understand why any remainer would vote for Corbyn, a Brexiteer who has spent the entire time sitting on the fence on the subject, and has no coherent plan on Brexit but some bollocks about customs union. Clearly the Liberal Democrats are the best option for remain if Brexit is your primary concern? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a Brexit deal now. Both the UK and the EU need stability. It's not about Corbyn, if there was a hung parliment again it'd be a second referendum. That's the reality. The conservatives would not be able to block it. A hung parliment doesn't happen if the Conservatives take much more seats than they lose. As for this deal, you do realize it's basically just a hard brexit, harder than May's deal? Aside from that the Torries would basically have until the middle of next year if this deal passed to agree a trade deal in record breaking time, unless they want to extend the extension which Boris keeps saying he won't. Which basically means the news will be filled with talk about no deal next december too and likely years. This deal passing, doesn't end the process. It just means Brexit cannot be called if it is.

They only voted to take it to the next reading stage. Which although further than where May got it, meant that it was the point where changes could be put down. They also voted to get rid off Johnson's timetable demand that everything was voted on in 3 days with as little discussion as possible of the details. Yes Brexit had been talked about non stop for years, but that was the first time to actually see what was written down. It's very likely given the timetable of 3 days being blocked that a customs union would have ended up attached, that's why Boris decided to pull the deal before the election vote.
