    So Boris Johnson decided to bail out. This just shows that the Brexit supporters don't have any idea whatsoever to lead the country forward.
    This man has been shouting the loudest, leading the UK towards the abyss, but is now afraid to make the jump.

    What a coward.
    What is worth fighting for?

    No, the UK must get a worse deal. All those things you think are destroying your country and which I think is good for Europe are parts of packages. You can't just choose the perts you like, while also not paying anything and also writing our laws for us just for shits and giggles.

    Please go read up on the wiki of the EU, your projecting your own lack of knowledge onto others.

    Given how disproportional the UK democratic system is and given the amount of money that moves around in the US elections the EU is more democratic than both of these 2 countries.

    The EU = it's members, how can it not be democratic when the national governments control the direction of the EU? Unless we are going to question the national governments (like we do with the UK) the EU has a far better system in place that the billion dollar US presidential race or the single party rule UK.

    I am no fan of the guy but how could he win? Just reinforces some of the remain rhetoric that anyone who dares to disagree with them is automatically dishonest and has bad intentions.
    Boris never actually wanted to leave the EU. He wanted to team up with the leavers to be on the popular side of the argument, he didn't want to actually win the argument.

    He knows what a disaster leaving the EU will bring and how the next PM will take full responsibility for that disaster. That's why he's no longer going to put his name forward because he doesn't want to face the consequences of his actions. And that's also why he's a spineless coward.

    1: When you invade somewhere and then illegally occupy it for decades, that's called an occupation.
    2: There are terms for unification, Turkey goes home.

    In January I change again, the next car will be as non European as possible. Perhaps a Ford,Nissan, Vauxhall(general motors).

    I shop twice a month at a British supermarket and fill in during the middle weeks at Lidl, heres a lidl surprise for you, I will lidl no more.

    German kitchen appliances, a few are dotted in my kitchen, on replacement again they won't be German.

    I am one of 17 million people who may feel this way. It's not just tariffs.
    Nissan merged with Renault and Vauxhall is a rebranded Opel

    Anyway, about that whole capital flight thing in the City:

    So he's basically handed it to Theresa May, who is in fact terrifying. But also pro-EU.

    I wouldn't care if we had to maintain a contribution to the EU and I wouldn't expect us to be involved in any lawmaking. The main issue I have is the idea of tarriffs, just a lose-lose proposition.

    But what about "taking back control" since you are just describing an EEA agreement?

    The freedom of movement of labour, goods, and capital are considered a single subject; not something that can be broken up and cherry picked. This is what Leavers fail to understand. You either move all or none at all.

    More or less exactly what he did. It was pretty evident early on after the vote, that he never expected "leave" to actually win. And by now, everyone with half a brain can see it. He would have absolutely loved a 52-48 outcome, just not for "leave"...

    It's a legal in that their was a agreement signed between all involving parties that allowed Turkey to intervene on behalve of the Turkish population living on that island.Greek side broke that agreement when it wanted to join with the Greece.

    Not sure what the 2e point means actually? Are you talking about the army? Because if it's just the army then I will want to point out again that neither the army or the government has up to this point prevented unification. It was again the Greek side that rejected the unification so how is Turkey the bad guy here?

    At least she will have been chosen by 0.003% of the electorate, more democracy for us already!

    YEAH...if you are already filthy rich. I thought this was a victory for the "decent people" and not the "elites". Anyway, the political satire continues to write itself.
