Also, there's about to be a leadership election in the governing party (because of all this) and lots of the Ministers are working out what positions themselves best for a leadership challenge of their own or how to align themselves early with a potential new leader.

And Theresa May might win that challenge anyway.

To be clear, dramatically unpopular with the politicians. It's 585 pages and was released to the public yesterday - the public doesn't really have an opinion and given the weight of the document, will likely never read it or know what it actually says beyond the parts the papers and politicians want them to know about.

Can someone clarify what is happening with Brexit to an ignorant American (me)?

I thought the referendum to leave the EU meant it was a done deal... So why is there still so much "debate" and why are ministers resigning? I don't understand how this works.

They voted on the what without for a moment considering the how. It turns out that the world is complicated.

Seems like an executive branch would be useful to execute things then

There's nothing to execute on because there is no law in place.

So what has happened so far is that there was a (non-legally binding) referendum that passed to leave the EU.

The UK government enacted Article 50, announcing they would leave the EU in March 2019.

For the last 2 years, the UK and the EU have been negotiating on a deal to determine what the UK/EU relationship will look like after we leave. The two sets of negotiators agreed a deal and the UK government brought it back to the House where it needs to pass a vote.

The deal was dramatically unpopular and will not pass that vote.

Ministers are resigning because they cannot vote against a government bill while in the cabinet and they do not want to vote for the deal.

Are they just gonna pretend the vote never happened?

Or are they still going to be in the EU 100 years from hashing out the details on how to follow a referendum that no one alive actually voted on

Which honestly sounds like a very English thing to do

We're going to have another referendum and change our mind.

Also, in case it was missed, the Brexit Secretary said this week he was previously unaware how important UK trade with France was.

"We want a bespoke arrangement in goods which recognises the peculiar, frankly, geographic, economic entity that is the United Kingdom. We are, and I hadn't quite understood the full extent of this, but if you look at the UK and if you look at how we trade in goods, we are particularly reliant on the Dover-Calais crossing."

Translation: I didn't realise as an island, our trade with our nearest neighbour mattered.

Ok i'll bite Ulti, why do you hate Hearthstone so much


He loses about 50% of the time

My win rate is above 50% every month and Im to the point where I always finish between L and 4.

This means exactly nothing since the game is purely luck based. If your win rate is >50% you must be luckier than other people! Congrats!

That's an error with the two party system not Corrik.

You can support that Rebulicans without supporting everything they do and vice versa. Calling foul on Corrik every time he expresses thst he disagrees with the Republican Party because he supports them on other issues is incredibly stupid and unfair.
