One source of division in the UK has to do with a protectionist EU (aka Fortress urope). As a result, a Briton cannot trade freely with both the EU and non-EU states: he's forced to choose one at the expense of the other. A Briton who depends on trade with the EU will thus feel strongly about...

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-46713498 If I were the UK Parliament, I'd call a new referendum: 1. Remain in the EU. 2. Unilateral global free trade. If the final Brexit deal is even worse than remaining in the EU, then I imagine even many Brexiteers would rather remain for now but...

We've had cases in the past of an MP suffering alcoholism. We now have Clement. And those are just the ones we know. How many MPs suffer gambling addiction or some other addiction. Given their position as lawmakers of the land, should all new MPs receive a quick crash course on addiction and...
