Grand Admiral, First Order Central Command
There's a part of me, the red-blooded American part, that inexplicably still harbors a grudge against Britain for once being our overlord (and messing me up with fucking u's in random wourds) that is sort of excited at the possibility of watching the UK dissolve. Maybe it's the natural American distaste for everything involving aristocracy.
Scotland leaving? Check. North Ireland switching sides? Maybe? Republican Canada and Australia? It's a possibility.
But I am increasingly concerned about a world that seeks to divide and isolate itself when what has been thought to be the way forward for the past sixty years was global involvement and and a greater sense of human unity. It would be a shame to see the longest period of European peace ever be swept away by such archaic concepts as nationalism and xenophobia.
Not that I'm forecasting WW3, if that's going to break out anywhere it'll be in the Pacific (and even there it's so unlikely as to be not even worth considering) but regressive conservatism and appealing to the far right doesn't have a long track record of creating peace on earth, you know?
But seriously everyone talking about how 'vicious' the debate in the UK is and all the Americans are like 'what but your politicians are still being polite to each other.' Also I hear that Farage and Johnson are worthless assholes but come on ONE OF OUR NOMINEES IS TRUMP.
So thanks but no thanks, we'll keep the 'dogshit horrible politics' award here in 'MERICA WHERE IT BELONGS. JUST LIKE CANADA.
