        Right, like the UK is a sibling that you hated growing up, but as adults it’s not so bad and you know you’re going to be friends again once they go through their binge drinking phase.

        Still too close. The mistake of Brexit was taking such an important decision based on a slim majority, you need at least an absolute majority, 66%.

          I would put it more that there should have been an agreement on what Brexit would be pursued. The pro-Brexit camp promoted all forms of Brexit while there wasn’t a good idea on how Brexit would be implemented.

          The UK still hasn’t solved the trilemma.

        Interesting. Are those poll results sampled amongst the general population, or something more specific like from the parliament ?

        The continent is full of idiots too. Their are no reasons for us to feel superior about this on this side of the pond.

        France, Germany and Italy are giving it a good go too. I think our position on Ukraine has made the UK a lot of friends in Europe. That and voting out the Tories.

      Switzerland and Liechtenstein are also not member states, and Estonia’s islands are not shown.

        Scotland has islands on this map, but in a really weird way: all of the five biggest ones are missing, and I’m 95% sure that one of the two depicted is actually a peninsula that the map has chopped off from the mainland

        Alternatively we can just assume Norway took the islands back

        They bothered to remove the non-EU Balkan states and Norway, but filled up Switzerland. This map is just terrible.
