What are you going to do next time the UK parliament passes a law you don't like? Dissolve the United Kingdom?
- noir_lord 8y agoCan we? I'd be in favour of dissolving it back to counties with a senate. The south never does anything for us up North.
- dithering 8y agoYeah, but what have you done for us lately? </ducks>

- aninhumer 8y agoIt's not really surprising that the only part of the UK that gets significant investment is the only part that's able to make any money.
- noir_lord 8y agoOr that the parts of the UK that traditionally relied on industries that went away but without any real attempt (Northern Powerhouse excepted off course...cough) to replace them. Shrugs, Brexit is going to be interesting if the impact on the financial and legal services is as large as predicted.

- fauigerzigerk 8y agoI think the variety of values within the UK is just as great as within the EU as a whole. You can never convince everyone and you don't have to. But I also think that not speaking a common language does indeed make campaigning for any particular issue more difficult. It's a trade-off. Not having a say in Europe doesn't necessarily mean you don't have to comply, which will become painfully obvious in the near future.
