Also helps dispel rather definitively the myth that being a part of the EU gives you clout, the EU can't even make a trade deal with Canada because a tiny province of a tiny province said 'yeah nah fam'
Exactly the opposite, as I just said...
Exactly yeah, it can't negotiate trade deals for shit, AND it kills multilateralism
It's like alcohol that gives only hangovers and liver failure
*EDIT
Some of you may have noticed that for a Brexit conversation, there has been very little talk about what UKIP are doing. This is because that just as Labour implodes, UKIP is in death spiral - it seems that the moment UKIP's charismatic leader left, everyone was at each others' throats (fights broke out that got people hospitalized) and replacement leaders resigned. Behold UKIP's last hope, Raheem Kassam, running under the slogan '
Make UKIP great again.'
Ayyy lmao, it really is a shame Stephen Woolfe couldn't make it (first time he tried applying for leadership
he missed the deadline, second time was cos of the fight). That leaves UKIP with two major contenders for leadership, Paul Nuttall (UKIP MEP, deputy leader, wants capital punishment brought back for child killers, wants to make a definitive working class brand for UKIP as opposed to its current arrangement of disaffected Tories, Working Class Labour and Libertarian brokers all duct taped together). The other is Raheem (editor for Breitbart, former aide to Nigel, wants to focus on Brexit and get an international brand for UKIP).
So who wins this leadership contest is gonna decide their image and shit
They both have their advantages and disadvantages in terms of identity
Paul Nuttall
- Working class man, helped oversee some of UKIPs best electoral performances in his areas in addition to founding UKIPs youth wings and shit
- He's English so he's easy media pickings
Raheem Kassam
- 2nd gen migrant, shiite Muslim, as such the media does not know how to deal with him cos diversity points maximized
- Is an irl shitposter, thus nullifying the media benefits of his diversity
I do not see UKIP doing well in the UK's future, at this rate it's pretty much doomed - it could only survive if Labour managed to destroy itself worse than UKIP is destroying itself. All in all I can see why Farage wanted to gtfo as soon as possible
