It would be entirely acceptable not to follow through with Brexit.

Acceptable for you maybe, certainly not acceptable for the democratic process.

I disagree. The UK is not a direct democracy.

No politician is going to disregard or delay the implementation of Article 50 regardless of their stance on the EU.

As clearly evidenced by (contrary to what the Tories originally said), it now being 2 weeks since the referendum and the UK is not a single step closer to having an actual plan of going through with Brexit. Leave frontrunners are a lot less vocal about pushing the big red button than they were before the referendum, it's already been said by Conservatives that nothing would happen before the end of the year and at this point, even the EU itself is pressuring a stagnant Britain into making up its mind. Suggesting that all of the Remain politicians are now going to try their hardest to make Brexit happen is incredibly naive, as this is a complex process taking months and consisting of dozens of delicate and private aspects rather than politicians walking around with a neon sign screaming "I'm still going to try and keep our EU relationship".

A democratic verdict has been reached, it would political suicide to actively dismiss the will of the British people, not to mention highly immoral.

It would be entirely acceptable not to follow through with Brexit.

I could see May still stopping the Brexit.

No way, man. She was almost completely absent from the debate, and has said repeatedly that the government must carry out triggering Article 50. Most of her argument for becoming leader is that she has the capacity to negotiate strongly with the EU.

Sure, but talk is cheap. Despite being considered a eurosceptic by some, May has a pretty outspoken pro-EU track record and supported Remain up until the referendum was decided. At this point, no Tory has a shot by openly calling for the referendum to be ignored. But pro-EU politicians (and there's a ton of those, especially in the parliament which probably has to formally adopt an article 50 act) aren't just going to throw their hands in the air and say "aw shucks, this completely non-binding referendum intended to be merely advisory found a very small majority of those voting support leaving the Union, nothing left for us to do now but completely switch sides". It's one thing to talk about carrying out article 50, but actually doing it? This whole thing isn't done until the negotiations between the UK and EU are over, so I don't think it's unlikely at all for pro-EU politicians to stall and delay (May said that nothing formal would even happen before the end of the year at the earliest) or do whatever they can to obtain the most EU-favorable deal possible if it does come to that. If May wins, I think it'll be great for the EU.

hopefully

Hmm. Hopefully as in "if the world doesn't end or the UK doesn't crash and burn after Brexit" or hopefully as in there's actually a reason you might not be able to?

It just depends if they release the module on time or if it gets delayed for another year or something

In that case I'd definitely say A.

Congrats, man!

Mine was kind of boring. Graduating from one of the biggest universities in the country takes a long time.

Likewise, although big by Belgian standards probably isn't saying much. Luckily, this was just for the law faculty so there were only a few hundred graduates.

Cool

Not going to answer the question?

What do you have to say for yourself?

Shameful display by the Belgian team. I didn't really watch so don't know what went wrong or why exactly we lost, but this is unacceptable.

Belgium v. Wales. Are we going to see Brexit 2.0 or will the righteous few triumph over the rebellious?

Belgium gonna slay some dragons tonight.

Boom, 1-0 already. Just go home Wales, EU is strong tonight.

Absolutely disgusting. Not really watching myself, but I can hear the noises outside.

Thanks for the advice. I don't mind toughness, but the whole food / thirst / disease / sleep in Survive simply sound more tedious than fun. I've read up a little and while I like the damage changes and such, survival just sounds like more of a chore.

When does 1.6 come out? I'm feeling the hype now so don't really want to wait too long.

there will not be any cherry-picking and the UK will have to suck up all EU conditions and responsibilities that come with it.

This doesn't make sense, though. There are myriad countries with FTAs with Europe who don't have to accept the free movement of people; not to mention Merkel herself is facing an election next year and heavy lobbying by German industry.

I can see why she would reject Boris's proposal, which is basically joining the EEA but controlling our borders, but it wouldn't make much sense to expand this to any other kind of free trade deal.

Well yeah, but those other countries might not have the same location (proximity to the center in Western Europe), a history of several decades of EU/EEC membership and millions of EU citizens living there based on free movement (and vice versa). The UK is pretty unique in its position and from what I can tell, the EU seems pretty adamant about the free movement. And it's not just Merkel, it's other leaders too. I believe Tusk has said the four freedoms are a core element of the EU and will be part of the British negotiations. I currently don't see a free trade deal without a very large degree of freedom of movement included one way or the other.

That is, if it even comes that far. The EU is perfectly content leaving the UK with the uncertainty and the national troubles. You and I both know that momentum was incredibly important for Leave, and Cameron destroyed it all by resigning. Leave is already coming back on some promises, economic turmoil ahoy, no one has a real plan, Parliament is absolutely not guaranteed to approve Brexit and now that it seems likely the negotiations would result in free movement and EU rules dictating a lot of Britain's commerce and laws, it's lost a lot of the hype and vigor of a heroic rebellion against the Brussels bureaucrats which drove it a week ago. The longer article 50 is put off, the less likely it becomes the button will ever be pushed. And as Theresa May just said that this wouldn't even happen before the end of the year and the EU doesn't want to engage in informal talks before then, I'm not seeing the UK be in a very strong negotiating position. Not that I predict terrible doom and gloom for Britain, but I don't see it getting everything it wants.
