Looks like the UK has decided to leave the EU

Don't let your overweening sense of superiority due to your geographic location stop you from making ASSumptions about how well or poorly informed I might be about this issue that I studied in depth before visiting the UK in May and June...

Wow you must have been busy if you met all 16 million who voted out and discovered they are all as you describe. I take it back, you should be running the place.

It pretty much is that cut and dried unless it came to force of arms. The relevant Supreme Court decision, 1868's Texas vs White, held that: “The union between Texas and the other states was as complete, as perpetual, and as indissoluble as the union between the original states. There was no place for reconsideration or revocation, except through revolution or through consent of the States.”

So the options are either:
a) Open rebellion, which would be swiftly quashed. I say this as a Combat Arms veteran: it would be very swiftly quashed.

b) Everyone legally and legislatively agreeing to go their own separate ways. Which absolutely is not ever going to happen.

I'm saying peacefully, exclusively.

And I didn't say it would happen quickly.

But if the vast majority of, say, Alaskan citizens wanted to peacefully separate from the US, then they would find a way to make it happen, eventually.

Yeah, you can cite ancient laws, but they can be changed.
 
I've had some reports on this thread. Let us try to keep the discussion friendly.

Apparently, given the absolute chaos their right now I couldn't possibly do worse....
 
Looking forward to the UK (if it still exists in two years) joining the EEA which requires, uh, accepting free movement of labour, defeating the xenophobic bedrock on which the bizarre Brexit argument rested in the first place.
 
Still can't see it happening and sturgeon knows she needs a good run of polls showing 60% plus for indy before she goes for it, that's why she'll try to find an option C that lets her save face without having to call or outright reject a rerun of 2014.

If they do I look forward to a few more years of abuse and death threats through my door for actively engaging in the political process :grin:
 
I love the folks I know over here in Germany that applaud this and say, "yes!!! Good for them, they should leave if they want"

Then I point out that our portion of the next help package for Greece will be that much larger. :)

My new favourite troll move.
