    BREXIT

    Ridiculous from the Lib Dems. So they were willing to go into government with David Cameron but won't even temporarily support Corbyn to prevent a no deal Brexit? https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/aug/09/no-10-cancels-staff-leave-raising-possibility-of-snap-election

    The EU already props up this sector yet it's a leading in cause for us missing those targets that will see us owing €500-600m a year in fines. The EU will give a short-term cash injection post-Brexit. Hopefully the money is used to incentivise reforestation etc.

    How much of that do you ascribe to the first past the post system? Because a lot of that sounds very like Ireland where TDs are loyal to the party above all else. The classic example was FF not going into government with FG for the good of the country (a move all the more obvious given how...
