I spoke to former President Jimmy Carter and he tells me no chance Donald Trump wins. Politicians (former and current) are always unbiased in their comments and their political affiliations are irrelevant.
It was clear from day one that a clown can’t be a president. Maybe it was a big prank.
I just spoke to Hillary Clinton. itera, I don’t know how to break this to you, but she wants your D.
New rule. If you burn more dollars in kerosene in a week than most AFers make in a year, you are not a clown, regardless of any buffoonery.
Not literally. Okay, Buffon.
Has anyone called Trump yet?
Not enough viagra in the world. I wasnt kidding about former PM
^^^right… that’s why I think it is weird Cameron resigned already. In fact it would be strange to base such a major change on the small margin that “leave” won by. However, if they decide not to leave, supporters of brexit will have reason to become disruptive. They should have defined a critical level for the margin of victory for leave to actually be considered (before the vote!)
I guess by that time supporter of leave campaign will educate themselves with the aftermath of their terrible deicison. I hope they watch/listen news.

Not to toot my own horn but I called Cameron resigning. How can he be responsible for carrying out an agenda he was strongly against and the voters strongly in support? It wouldn’t make any sense for him to be on there.
That’s my point… what if they decided not to go through with it? He resigned for nothing? Shouldn’t he cross that bridge when he gets to it…
So you are suggesting he not follow through with what his country’s voters all voted in support of? Sneaky. I like it.
As the article atush posted says… the vote was only by a narrow margin and it was supposed to only be a result that would be taken into consideration for the final decision on the matter. …so I am confused as to why Cameron took the result of the vote to be the final word on stay or leave. Does a 52% of 72% of a population (many who do fully understand the issues) really make a definitive argument to make such a drastic change?
If you’re going to tug at the “who really knows the issues” string, it’s going to be ugly
ok mate, you meant it as a call back to Michael Gove’s education reform interview, Gove being the man that urged the electorate to “stop listening to the experts” and undoubtedly chose to keep blurting out “end of!” in that interview to appeal to tabloid readers who think that tagging it on the end of an unsubstantiated opinion sounds smart.
Given your other posts in this thread, full of vitriol but devoid of any substance, I’d be forgiven for thinking that you’re a fan of such phrases.
and it’s not about being butthurt. As I said, I genuinely hope I’m wrong about the economic outlook for the UK. If you work in the investment industry you’ll hopefully be aware of the huge challenges Brexit presents to the industry. Unfortunately the majority of the electorate doesn’t, or simply didn’t care when casting their vote because the public perception is that all “bankers” are evil and the country is best rid of them. Back to the point about an uninformed electorate who have little appreciation of the scope of financial services or the benefit the industry brings to the economy.
Even if the concerns about the UK economy are overdone, exiting the EU means an end to passporting financial products into EU countries. unless the plan is to stay in the EEA where the only precedent to doing so requires Norway to abide by all EU rules anyway but without any influence on them, how’s that for sovereignty?
and the irony is that exiting the EU would be hugely beneficial for the fishing industry in Scotland.
It really depends on how Brexit plays out. Even if the SNP call a snap referendum, the UK government would need to sanction it and they may choose not to.
Big question for me is, if hypothetically indyref2 happens and the Scots vote for independence, would Scotland need to go out of the EU with the UK and then come back in once we’ve left the UK or could the 2 be done concurrently. The former isn’t possible because Spain will never allow it for fears of Catalonia breaking off, and Scotland would of course then be forced to adopt the EUR.
The first Scottish independence referendum was lost on the (still) unanswered questions on currency. indeyref2 wouldn’t be a landslide.
