Brexit is going to be the absolute making of Nicola Sturgeon who in my view will emerge as probably the pre-eminent politician in the whole of Europe over the next four years. Sturgeon is probably the one charismatic leader anywhere in Europe at the moment who is appealing to something approaching proper social democratic principles, who is a gifted communicator and who radiates positive energy to the public.
The quagmire of the negotiations for the UKās withdrawal is going to drag down the Tories and the main players in that party like Boris Johnson, Theresa May, Osborne and the rest, in a way which will make the John Major years look like a golden era. Nigel Farage is going to become even more of a polarising figure than he has been up to now and UKIP will increasingly drift ever further to the right, I think, which will help to alienate Scotland more. The UK and particularly England is going to be perceived as the sick man of Europe for the foreseeable future. The divide with Scotland will become ever wider.
When the second independence referendum comes, youāll have on one side a charismatic leader positively appealing to i) hope and the mood for change ii) a positive affirmation of Scottish national identity in a way that negative English nationalism will never be and iii) internationalism through staying in the EU. On the other side youāll have a toxic, divided rabble. With the demographic having moved on again since 2014 and the campaign to stay in the UK in utter disarray, it wonāt be close next time. Scotland will assert its independence.

Prime Timeās David McCullough and a German MEP Christian Ehler are accusing UKIP of āmessing upā the UK economy, the European economy and the world economy.
It would be nice to have a broadcaster who had some clue about macroeconomics.
RTE seems willing to lay down and allow itself to be used as a platform to allow the EU to bully and scare the Irish people.
Indonesia?? Tassotti is a businessman he will go where movers and shakers go - London, Berlin, Dubai etc. He wouldnāt go someone third world like Indonesia or Ireland to work, although Iād say heād shake things up in the fledgling project manager field in Jakarta.
the micks are worse than the scots, they always do what they are told to do by Europe, spineless thick bastards

Thatās true, however, you see the EU enables us to borrow billions of euros at 0.8% whereas we should be borrowing at 5% or 6%. Ireland does very well out of Europe.
also, we are now the only English speaking country in Europe.

Poor Dave must be stunned that it has all come to this. It must feel surreal to have your career ended in such a massive, history defining defeat that seemed unthinkable only a few weeks ago.
Thereās a real sense of āKeep the Recovery Goingā about the whole thing . Again the establishment was making its case on the basis of things being ok now, whereas the vast swathes of UK territory wherein poverty has reigned for decades now saw it differently. Things are terrible now for them and how could anything make it worse. Any change is good when youāre that fucked.
The parties of the centre are in deep crisis across Europe. And in the US in truth, where their own unthinkable Brexit type result could come this November. The status quo argument is being routed everywhere, and thereās only so many times you can dress up the same old bullshit.
Either the parties of the centre can construct a genuinely new social contract with their electorates, like the social democracy in the new deal in 1930s US, the social democracy of post-war Europe, or indeed the Reaganite/Thatcherite revolutions that came 30 years later - or they will be devoured by the demagogues on the fringes. And no one knows what way that will go.

Every country in Europe now has passable English. Have you been there? Fcuk me there is some arrogant shite posted about us being the only country in Europe that speaks English.
Fwiw, if article 50 is invoked, and that is no gimme, Scotland will leave, be likely accepted by the EU in jig time, and will be extremely good at luring both banks and multinationals, and have a great foot in both camps. They will be the main rival to ourselves as a tax haven.
