Re: Brexit wins, UK to leave the EU
That is interesting. With the obvious capabilities to manipulate votes it seems this outcome could be a tactic to 'clean house' in domestic and EU politics: get Corbyn and send a serious message to the other major EU elite. If the Brexit vote had lost neither of these would have had the kind of 'dramatic punch' that they are having now, even while the UK Parliament has the final say in the matter.
Some more news in the UK:
So if Niall's right and there 'is a way back' then perhaps they'll take it once the damage is done, Corbyn's signicantly weakened, and the UK elite has enhanced their political power within the bloc? If so those at the top must really be betting that they'll be 'taken back' after the damage.
Really mostly speculation right now, as there is so much chaos going on. There could be all sorts of opportunists we're spotting making their moves, while any over-arching design (whether conspiratorial or 'naturally chaotic' or both) would probably take time to sort out.
Niall said:Have y'all noticed what THE top news story has been in the UK since the result was announced?
Worry about Scotland leaving the UK? Nope.
Worry about what it means for the UK's relationship with Europe? Nope.
It's all about Jeremy Corbyn. The pressure on him to resign is intense.
They won't call early elections, activate Article 50, or do anything else, until they know 'the number one threat to British security' is gone.
They're desperately trying to prevent 'a normie' from taking power.
