So you think that Brexiting is something new?

Brilliant!

Is that still a thing? I'm having a hard time keeping up with America, let alone overseas.

Prime minister Theresa May was recently ousted because she failed on the Brexit issue. The hope is that her successor will be able to actually do what the citizenry wants which is an exit from the European Union.

So after 52% majority voted to leave EU in 2016, somehow that support dropped below 20% in late 2018? All during the time when the globalism and liberal elites have become exposed and turned a lot of people off to their ideas.

"So after 52%"

51%* And only by a few thousand

"somehow that support dropped below 20% in late 2018?"

You do realize that times change and so do Opinions?

"All during the time when the globalism and liberal elites have become exposed and turned a lot of people off to their ideas."

*Chuckles Condescendingly*

"only by a few thousand" yet you still talk about our popular vote even though it was won by the dems by less than 1% of our population. Double standards much?

""only by a few thousand" yet you still talk about our popular vote even though it was won by the dems by less than 1% of our population."

Talking about something and Supporting Something are two entirely different Concepts. Additionally, Presidential Elections aren't the same as Referendums. Well They have more in common with the Popular Vote actually than the EC.

There are those who take 0.9 and round it up, and there are those who round it down. Can't believe you got triggered over 0.1%.

I do realize opinions change, and looking at EU, AU & NZ, and N America, I'd say the tide is turning. Even passive Canadians are not buying it anymore and have grown tired of Justine. Europeans want their identity and culture back. It's happening all over the place.

You are welcome to *chuckle condescendingly* any time you like. No need to announce it or ask for permission.

"There are those who take 0.9 and round it up, and there are those who round it down. Can't believe you got triggered over 0.1%."

You'll have to apologies, I mostly saw a 49% figure when I read about Brexit

True. He is indeed trailing in the polls

"Europeans want their identity and culture back"

We never lost it, but mkay.

Wasn't asking for permission, just showing you what I think of your opinion ;)

"You'll have to apologies, I mostly saw a 49% figure when I read about Brexit"
- Cool, no problem.

"Wasn't asking for permission, just showing you what I think of your opinion ;)"
- I know you weren't, just showing you what I though of that ;)

Touché

She wasn't ousted. She quit. Thatcher was ousted.

When you have no other choice, what;s the difference?

She has several choices. But to answer the difference, an oust in British politics requires the lack of support from key members of the government that the Prime Minister formed with approval from the Queen, as per the (misleadingly named) Unwritten Constitution.

So if you just can't form a cabinet, you can't form a government, and the Queen says someone else will have to be Prime Minister. That's an ousting. That's what happened to Thatcher after the Poll Tax; the people didn't really reject it per se, but the ministers just refused to work with her in forming a government anymore.

May still has a government. They're willing to work with her, but they have caveats and desires of the Brexit negotiations that May can't deliver because the EU consider the negotiations done. So, rather than waste more of her life slogging through the leadership work, she's had enough and she's done with the job. That's not an ouster. She could easily stick around if she wanted to. I wouldn't recommend it, but she could.

OK. I guess you see a difference. My perspective as an American is very different. I see it as “You can’t fire me, I quit”. But what do I know.

Much like the U.S., it doesn't really matter who's in charge - there are always going to be SOMEONE saying she should be fired. Ultimately, that's meaningless unless the Queen is one of those people, although she's officially supposed to be vaguely sort of impartial.

But much as I'm no fan of May, it does have to be said that she's really the only person who wanted to take the job after the Brexit vote clusterf**ked everything. And if I'm being honest, the deal she negotiated is as close to a middle ground as the British people were ever going to get, so f**k knows what's supposed to happen now.

We're not sure either, to be honest. We're still in this limbo state where the government pinky swearsies that it's still going to happen but nobody wants to do it except for the politicians so awful it would actually destroy the government to put them in charge.

The diffrence is that most of America wanted it, while only half and slightly more of Britain wanted it. You know, had Britain used the Electoral College the Referendum would have failed? Funny thing really

most of america? Clinton won by less than 1% of the population

"most of america?"

So did most of America not want Freedom from British Rule?

"Clinton won by less than 1% of the population"

And the Remain campaign would have won using the EC since they too had less than 1% of the population than the Leave Campaign

...there wasn't a European union back then...?

Britian Exits the EU -- US exited Britain -- so very technically both could be called a "Brexit". The "very technical" aspect is what makes it humorous.

The joke doesn't work. If anything the American Revolution would have been called Amexit or something.

It worked for me, that's why I upvoted. Just need to be a little less literal and allow some creative license.
