It could be 90% in favour of rejoining, but it wouldn't make much of a difference. The EU would need to see strong, long term cross-party support in Westminster before they'd consider it. The EU know that otherwise the issue is just going to keep re-emerging in UK politics so long as the Tories are ideologically opposed to the EU. I think the best chance the UK has is if the modern Tory party stopped being relevant electorally, because their membership's views aren't likely to change, and everyone in the EU institutions hates them for the damage their governments have done over the last 7 years.

The comments on this post are such a joke. The name of the community is literally 'fuck cars' and people are getting bent out of shape because we're posting about our dislike of cars.
Appearently this class of ship is being used to do supply runs to Svastopol. Another big loss for the occupier's logistics in Southern Ukraine and Crimea. Hopefully more will be joing the Moskva soon!
I'm not interested in changing people's minds. I'm in favour of literally telling people to stop driving because the fucking planet is on fire. If that adds 30 minutes to your commute, so be it.
Meanwhile I live in a city with good public transport, such that it only takes 15 minutes longer to get around, but 95% of people still drive. That absolutely justifies regularly reminding people that acceptable alternatives are available every time they listen to the radio.
Railing against anything that reminds you of cars is not the path to systematic change.
Yes it is. That's why this community exists: to discuss alternatives to car dependency.
Why does public transport need to be exactly as quick as driving? I leave myself an extra few minutes to walk to the bus in the morning with no negative consequences compared to driving whatsoever. It's not the end of the world if getting from A to B takes a little longer. This is exactly the type of dogshit logic that makes it next to impossible to get anyone to do anything differently.
No, I'm not over thinking it. I'm just thinking about it. Neither do I think it's a plot. I work in environmental research, so I think about systemic issues like this quite a bit.
The reality is that my country has set out to reduce carbon emissions by 51% by 2030, which is an incredibly ambitious target. In order to reach that goal, we need to adopt a Dutch transport model that reduces car dependency significantly. That means that people who drive everywhere need to be told to use active and public transport as an alternative to driving all the time.
Using state funded media to get that message across every half an hour during traffic reports seems a fairly obvious way of doing so.
One time when I was 11 we were given a tour of our city's zoo by two ladies, who were retired zookeepers. They showed us around the zoo's museum, and told us that the tiger pelt hanging on the wall belonged to their favourite animal, who they'd both looked after.
I put up my hand and asked why they'd skinned it and nailed it to a wall if they loved it so much. They both got really fucking mad, but I stand by what I said.
Just based on DeepState's layout of Russian defence lines, this looks like they've reached the first defence line. Hopefully this is the big breakthrough we've been hoping for.
This is disappointing. I collect a firstborn Deathwatch army, and there are a couple of units in this list that I had planned on adding to my collection, specifically bikers, and a land speeder storm.
I love seeing incredibly expensive RU equipment getting ripped apart by a $50,000 HIMARS missile.
