[insert "why not both" gif]
"Voters" don't understand how the intricacies of foreign dependence on the worlds only Superpower work, or that the European bankers and captains of industry will go to every length to protect where the majority of their revenue comes from. So the man on the street will keep calling to ignore the United States under Trump, and the world's economy will continue to jump through hoops to do business with it, because as it's central engine, if you're not doing business with, under the auspices of, or with the tacit approval, you aren't doing business.
Let's talk in two years, after Trump's had some time to destroy a whole lot of people, and a whole lot of places, that aren't in The United States, and take a tally of who has decided to cut the US off from trade. It's going to be equal parts sobering and disappointing.
No, I don’t want Brussels offering me unparalleled trade opportunities, I want Britannia rules the waves, take back control, GLOBAL BRITAIN FOR BRITISH PEOPLE trade deals.
The Empire strikes back!
🇬🇧 Rule, Britannia! is playing in the background... 🇬🇧
For queen and country!
UK Politics
General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(
