The brexit vote was a scam. Do not take my for it, take the
Conservative parties word for it.
First, the PM - before the vote - wanted to resign. This was not
in question.
Second, when did a non-binding vote ever
cause this much consternation, in both the UK and on the Continent?
Normally, they would repackage this vote and try again if they wanted
a different result. So why have not they? The obvious answer, is that
this is the vote that the Conservative party wanted. But there were
additional things that they wanted.
If they had wanted PM to resign in the
normal way, Scotland would still be part of the union – and people
would be questioning the next choice of PM. This way, Scotland will
be removed – by its own choice – and there is no question as to
whether the PM has two go. Of course that means that the one thing
that the continent wants – a swift and certain divorce – will
happen, rather than what the elites of the UK want – a rather
legibly divorce, sleeping in the same room so to speak. The labour
party is dysfunctional, and in the interim, will get a rather more
Blairish leader – which is again what the Tory party wants.
What is more important however, is that
when a conservative party is in charge, this is why it does not want
lots of money in circulation. Allow me to explain.
When one looks at the difference between
conservative and liberal parties, one sees that liberal parties want
money – while conservative parties do not. This is usually framed
as a difference that favors the liberal party. But think of it in
another way – money is not what the conservative party, either high
up or low down, wants. They would rather have a scarcity of money,
that the conservative party controls. Liberals want more money,
because at the bottom, that is what their contingency wants – money
to spend. But conservatives do not want money to spend, because that
will mean that the poor do not think about money with every second –
which is the way that the conservatives want them to think, they want
them to think about money every possible second.
Thus liberal parties want money, and
conservative parties want scarcity of money. Liberal parties want more, the conservative parties want less - and it is under their control. It does not matter
whether, in the conservative view, the rich are richer in terms of
money – instead it matters if the poor are short of money. Because
after all, the money that they lost on a two-week bender is really
not that important, what is important is the ratio between the money
they have and the money you have. A ratio means that it does not
matter how much money they have, but can they wait out your spending
money faster than they spend money. And losing money happens to work
out for the Tory point of view.
In conclusion, they get what they want
– as is seen by them not taking a vote when they could – they get
rid of Scotland – which is so bad if you think about it, because
the Scots are anti-Tory – and the poor lose – and if your Tory,
what is bad about that?
