well parties always reshuffle and it’s not the end of history. where are the whigs?
definitely from what im reading (the economist is more & more my trusty steed) the split is happening and brexit is the real divide in british politics these days.
thing is the politicians like farage (whom i didnt know, i was in another planet) are presented as charlatans who were just riling up the populace with fictions.
i’m more interested in the why serious grownups would want to leave. which is why i keep interrogating you guys haaa haaa haaaa.
