General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
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.
[email protected] appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

You're probably right. Things like joining the customs union probably won't happen until at least the next government in 2029.
Th best scenario as I see it is that the UK pays for membership to all the E* bodies that it would have had membership to when in the union. Stuff like the science projects or standards agencies and the like. Eventually someone might say, hang about why are we paying for all this when we could get this and more via some membership?
But that's not going to one parliament away. The UK will be outside for at least 20 years. At least. Unless we stop voting Labour and Tory. But that isn't going to happen. 30 years.
