@pammens miss How is German unification a failure? Germany is one of the most powerful countries in the world. They and France together dominate the EU. There is inequality between West and East but recovering from communism takes time. Given a choice between all the post communist countries, East Germany has some of the best outcomes.
08:05 For clarity..... A border poll is carried out in Northern Ireland ONLY. Then and only then, if the result is reunification, will the Republic has a referendum to see if they want it also.
The 'red wall' in the north, is also the heartland of UKIP and the Brexit Party. Hard line brexiters 'crossed the floor' for Johnson. That's a big deal. How does keeping them happy, make a soft brexit more likely?
Why does everyone wonder what Boris Johnson wants?. He has no ideas, no ambitions, no vision (other than Boris Johnson). The question should be what does Dominic Cummings want?
From Brazil, a fascinated by British politics kind of guys. These two give us a masterclass in contemporary British politics. Please don't stop this series!
In terms of votes gained, the LibDems easily won this, yet they lost 1 seat overall, including their leader, targeted massively by the SNP while she campaigned away for others. They gained 1.2million votes (4.2%). Johnson by contrast gained only 300,000 votes at about 1%, yet FPTP voting took him from 9 seats short of a majority to a massive majority. Also, the Greens received over 3% of the vote at 1 million for just 1 seat, similar to the Brexits on zero seats. But the SNP on just 3.9% with hardly any increase, won 47 seats, including an extra 11. There is no fairness, no democratic representation and no moral legitimacy for this Tory majority government. PR voting has to arrive, or Britain is doomed to 1 party elective dictatorship government. Putin is proud of what he's helped to happen
You are clearly deluded. The Lib Dems merely regained SOME of the votes they lost after the Coalition government. They are still approximately 1.5 million votes DOWN, from their normal election results. see- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberal_Democrats_(UK)#General_elections
FT. Please don’t use market research and focus groups to tell you how to think. They don’t work! Robert & Miranda are really good. They’re intelligent, entertaining and objective. So much better than the TV presenters. More of this please.
I totally agree with the other comments - wonderful presenters, really enjoyable to watch, good natured and informative. I so hope there will be more on other topics or ongoing developments :)
In large part, the swings were more away from Labour than to any one of the other parties: for which the blame must lie with Corbyn's lack of strategy for dealing with the remain-leave split within his own party: plus major errors like failing to deal with antisemitic comrades. He tried to run with the hare and hunt with the hounds. Boris Johnson realised early on that Brexit was his equivalent of Lord Randolph Churchill's "Orange Card." That served the Tories well in the industrial North for two or three generations. Brexit, as a cargo cult, may not last them as long. Ulster is not just up to Boris. The US Congress has resolved not to allow any trade deal if the Good Friday Agreement is endangered: whatever Trump might accept. Reunification may happen once the Catholics are in a majority, or earlier if Brexit crashes the British economy. Cameron must have been relieved not to be the last Prime Minister of Great Britain. The main argument against independence was that Scotland would automatically be out of the EU: the Spanish PM was most insistent on that. Now the situation is reversed. I doubt that Boris has the same attachment to the UK (or to anything).
I'm going to miss the on again/off again sexual tension of these videos now that election season won't come around for another 5 years. Please talk about politics on a weekly basis from now on. I always enjoyed seeing Miranda on this week and I've not seen Robert anywhere else, but glad I found him here.
You don't seem to be aware that Rees-Mogg is very much liked by the northern working class who voted Tory. Getting rid of him will be very unpopular with the aspirational working class and lower middle class who constitute the new Tories. Check out the comments and likes/dislikes in response to the Daily Mail's article about the Cabinet reshuffle that suggested JRM might be out.
Yet again another election where i'm disappointed by FPTP. More voters chose Lab, LD, Green, SNP than Tory, DUP, BXP 11.5% of voters chose LD and they returned 1.7% of seats Boris has his 'mandate' and a serious majority despite the fact that 51% of the country voted for pro EU/second referendum parties. AMS seems like the only option, but of course the Cons will never accept this.
Very true. The Conservatives are less likely to get rid of the FPTP, as this keeps them in power. Now there is nothing to stop Boris, it's a free ride for him.
Odd that isn't it - a clear majority of folks vote for something and gain a clear mandate - but they still get ignored and abused. Oh wait - I got confused there - I was talking about the Referendum but you were talking about the General Election. Ooops.
U.S. economy is bigger than the EU's especially without the UK. The U.S. presents a much larger market and with changes in supply chains, the U.S. could replace the EU as a trading partner. But none of that's necessary but still a much bigger prize for the UK than the EU. Move aside the politicians and the markets will adjust to the UK consumers' benefit.
Yeah but they want us to lower our standards, like in food for example. I used to live in the US, and the quality of their food is terrible. Especially their meat and dairy!
@@sugarfreegum123 Don't believe that. It's all in the negotiations and consumers ultimately choose. You want products from the EU? Buy from the EU; then U.S. manufacturers and producers who want your business will give you what you want the way you want or pass on gaining you as a customer. It's called competition.

Give Scotland independence. Split the national debt on a per ca-pita basis, shake hands and say good luck to them. Sink or swim you're on your own now.
The Scottish Government doesn't accrue debt, only the UK government does that. Scotland should take some debt, but again Scotland has historically been a net contributor so it should be negotiated. Plus Trident..... is a pretty big bargaining chip.
Split the debt on a per ca-pita basis? Imagine Bank who is giving loans on a per ca-pita basis :) Debt should be split on GDP or income per ca-pita basis.
No, this was not a mandate for a softer brexit. You guys in the bubble of the media still haven't learned have you! The public are no red pilled. They do not want any kind of political union with Brussels. If that means no single market and CU, then wonderful. The EU will have to bend otherwise

Some errors in the video. It wasn't the far left policies that lead to labour's fall, or brexit, according to the data from Opinionista's study. Almost half of labour defectors were because of the leadership.
Alternatively, the Tories do gerrymandering just as the Republicans have done in the US, make swooping changes to the regulatory and constitutional arrangements of the UK and embed these in international (free trade) agreements, play the immigration card, fan the flames of sovereignty and nationalism and take their chances of anybody being able to undo wha they have done in 5-10 years. Thatcher did the same and the UK has never been the same.
This is a turning point for Britain it won't be called the United Kingdom anymore as Scotland will soon be Independent, N Ireland will soon join Ireland so Wales and England will have to be called rUK (rest of the UK) or little Britain
SNP don't want a referendum, I agree with that. Why not force one on them then? We know that Dom is an advocate of Sun Tzu, how might that dictate a policy?
It is, however, home to approximately 15% of the UK population (more than Scotland and Wales combined) with 73 seats. And not everyone lives in £1m houses or it wouldn't be a Labour stronghold!
54% of Scots voted for unionist parties. Once we have left the EU there is no chance of Scottish independence. It would mean a hard border and passport checks between England and Scotland. If they are let into the Eu then they need to adopt the Euro and prior to that Scotland will need its own currency
Point of order. Scotland amd catalonia are totally different. Don't make that example. It's very dangerous and totally wrong. Catalonia has a majority approaching 90%. Please correct this in one of your next episodes
These places want the production back. Just like the heartlands in the US, it does not take an economist to work out that local jobs are good for local people. How Boris is going to do this is another matter, seeings he has promised a reduction in greenhouse gases up until carbon neutral in by 2050. Difficult...but not impossible. Maybe we can get a load of industry through the US, be the doorstep to the EU for them and vice versa.
Doesn't matter in either the US or UK if the industry comes back; even if the industry comes back the jobs don't. As the machinery is wearing out the cotton industry is coming back to the US. The new factories employ 10% of the old ones and none of them are weavers or spinners. The new jobs are computer technicians and robotics engineers.
@@theother1281 still jobs being created...have you seen the numbers from the US of late? Most people are by default somewhat computer literate, so maybe not such a bad thing
@@gontmawr5010 Most of the jobs being created in the US are very low paid. Many people have to work two or three jobs to earn a living income. Most people are print literate; how many of them could earn an honours degree in English literature or write a good novel. Most people are car literate; how many could be car mechanics, let alone design parts. These jobs do not require computer literacy; we are talking HND level education as a minimum with most roles requiring graduate+ levels.
@@theother1281 no, not at all. The industry and wages have shot up in the US. Obviously if you are educated to a HND level, get a job that represents that. There is no stopping anyone getting the qualifications they need whilst being there. In fact, it's a boon. For someone who was homeless, now run my own business through hard work and and sheer determination not to live on benefits. Not got my own home yet, but that's next on my list. Understand.... Equality of opportunity is the driving force behind capitalism. The opportunity's are there for EVERYONE to benefit. Equality of outcome (which is a mantra the Left go by) is a false egalitarian dream which can only be forced by government intervention. Create them, and they will work.
@@gontmawr5010 Raw intelligence is the limiting factor. Like the UK, high skilled earnings in the US have shot up; but for the majority wages have been near stagnant. Industry is increasing, but it doesn't create mass employment. A steel mill today achieved the same production with 500 workers that took 3,500 in the seventies; cloth manufacturing needs about a 10th; car manufacturing a 20th. People think Brexit will take Britain back to the cheap energy, pre-cybernetic economy of before we joined the EEC. Isn't going to happen, because the changes were not down to the EEC, so leaving changes nothing except reducing our bargaining strength. In many places equality of the opportunity does not exist or is severely curtailed. In the UK it has been in severe decline for the last 40 years. I don't know about your business, but I work in software and at least 30% of the people I work with aren't smart enough for the jobs they have (demand is so high that the less effective have to be employed); however AI will make them redundant within the next 10 to fifteen years. On the same timescale most delivery and cab drivers will be replaced by AI, people will just be needed to carry the goods into the customer.
It's just a simplistic term.There are many extremely wealthy areas in the north too. The south as a whole is wealthy in a GDP, fiscal surplus sense. The north, on the other hand, is in fiscal deficit.
@@CharlieVane21 Too simplistic that is the problem. Again, where does this lazy terminology come from? I would say the academic middle class, city-dwelling elites.
LET'S GET CHRISTMAS DONE. THE RAMOANERS WILL TRY EVERYTHING TO STOP IT. BUT WE MUST DO WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT (& SANTA). WE WILL MARCH AND PROTEST TO MAKE IT HAPPEN. MERRY BREXMAS EVERYONE.
They keep talking about the red wall wanting a softer brexit, where did they get that idea from? My take was the old industrial heartlands want a harder brexit (one of the many reasons they didnt back Labour)... they want their industry back, not scraps from the Germans table? You can say its a mistake but its could also a mistake not to try (with addition of never knowing/proving them wrong)? * btw jrm is very likeable.
It's not so much about what they want, but about delivering something that is still widely accepted as brexit while minimising economic fallout. These areas may preach a hard form of brexit, but I'm sure they'll change their tune once the workers at Nissan are sent home because the production line is blocked up by customs.
Most if not all of these Tory voters in the Northern industrial areas did not vote for a soft Brexit, they voted for getting out of the EU. If they had thought for one moment that leaving the EU would materially affect their lives they would not have voted Tory. Clearly no one has persuaded the vast majority of the people that frictionless trade with Europe as you call it, is such a vitally important thing to have. So what if it takes a day or two longer for your jam to arrive in Berlin, for example. This assuming that is that the company you work for is producing anything for export, never mind something that has to arrive within 24 hours? This also assuming that you have a job at all. Where are these millions of job loses going to come from? What industries will actually be badly affected? What products would not be made under WTO, which would have been otherwise? No one has bothered to answer these questions, because there is either very few, or not enough to justify paying billions in various ways to remain in the EU, with all of the other disadvantages, costs, and lack of democratic accountability. I run my own exporting manufacturing company, and if I don't have a bloody clue, then I strongly suggest that neither of you do either. I currently sell my products all over the World, with no problems at all, 30% of which to EU states. Far from trade to EU states being frictionless, there is in reality MORE paperwork involved, then selling them anywhere else. The majority of the paperwork is done, and all of the duty paid by the importer, not the exporter. If my customers can't be bothered with either, it is best that they did not buy them in the first place. If a foreign or domestic customer makes a profit from buying and selling stuff, they will carry on doing so, with or without a bit of duty to be paid, or a 24 hour delay in delivery. If they can make the bloody things themselves or buy the same cheaper from a local supplier, they would already be doing so. If up to 4% duty makes so much difference, then they can basically sod off.
As an American cousin, I am so happy the land of my ancestors will throw off the yoke of the EU and once again be a free sovereign country. People of Britain, our ancestors can now rest in peace.
This is crap. The Leavers on the recycled map were the only ones to vote Labour. ie Liverpool, Wirral and Chester. The red wall was not breached there.

It is, however, home to approximately 15% of the UK population (more than Scotland and Wales combined) with 73 seats. And not everyone lives in £1m houses or it wouldn't be a Labour stronghold!

Maybe spare a thought for a culture that's passed.
54% of Scots voted for unionist parties. Once we have left the EU there is no chance of Scottish independence. It would mean a hard border and passport checks between England and Scotland. If they are let into the Eu then they need to adopt the Euro and prior to that Scotland will need its own currency
What did Scotland use before they were part of the union?
@@blunderingfool Sheep
The Pound Scots. 12 Pound Scots were worth one Pound Sterling
Is this how they show us how to 'JOIN UP THE DOTS" ? or is it childrens TV, with back to school drawing lessons ?
Point of order.
Scotland amd catalonia are totally different. Don't make that example. It's very dangerous and totally wrong.
Catalonia has a majority approaching 90%.
Please correct this in one of your next episodes
These places want the production back. Just like the heartlands in the US, it does not take an economist to work out that local jobs are good for local people. How Boris is going to do this is another matter, seeings he has promised a reduction in greenhouse gases up until carbon neutral in by 2050. Difficult...but not impossible. Maybe we can get a load of industry through the US, be the doorstep to the EU for them and vice versa.
Doesn't matter in either the US or UK if the industry comes back; even if the industry comes back the jobs don't.
As the machinery is wearing out the cotton industry is coming back to the US. The new factories employ 10% of the old ones and none of them are weavers or spinners. The new jobs are computer technicians and robotics engineers.
@@theother1281 still jobs being created...have you seen the numbers from the US of late?
Most people are by default somewhat computer literate, so maybe not such a bad thing
@@gontmawr5010
Most of the jobs being created in the US are very low paid. Many people have to work two or three jobs to earn a living income.
Most people are print literate; how many of them could earn an honours degree in English literature or write a good novel.
Most people are car literate; how many could be car mechanics, let alone design parts.
These jobs do not require computer literacy; we are talking HND level education as a minimum with most roles requiring graduate+ levels.
@@theother1281 no, not at all. The industry and wages have shot up in the US. Obviously if you are educated to a HND level, get a job that represents that.
There is no stopping anyone getting the qualifications they need whilst being there. In fact, it's a boon.
For someone who was homeless, now run my own business through hard work and and sheer determination not to live on benefits. Not got my own home yet, but that's next on my list.
Understand.... Equality of opportunity is the driving force behind capitalism. The opportunity's are there for EVERYONE to benefit.
Equality of outcome (which is a mantra the Left go by) is a false egalitarian dream which can only be forced by government intervention.
Create them, and they will work.
@@gontmawr5010
Raw intelligence is the limiting factor.
Like the UK, high skilled earnings in the US have shot up; but for the majority wages have been near stagnant.
Industry is increasing, but it doesn't create mass employment. A steel mill today achieved the same production with 500 workers that took 3,500 in the seventies; cloth manufacturing needs about a 10th; car manufacturing a 20th.
People think Brexit will take Britain back to the cheap energy, pre-cybernetic economy of before we joined the EEC. Isn't going to happen, because the changes were not down to the EEC, so leaving changes nothing except reducing our bargaining strength.
In many places equality of the opportunity does not exist or is severely curtailed. In the UK it has been in severe decline for the last 40 years.
I don't know about your business, but I work in software and at least 30% of the people I work with aren't smart enough for the jobs they have (demand is so high that the less effective have to be employed); however AI will make them redundant within the next 10 to fifteen years.
On the same timescale most delivery and cab drivers will be replaced by AI, people will just be needed to carry the goods into the customer.
What it means is Boris is the daddy
Video was too short to ask does BJ know what he wants?
Wealthy South? Do these people ever travel the "South"?
It's just a simplistic term.There are many extremely wealthy areas in the north too. The south as a whole is wealthy in a GDP, fiscal surplus sense. The north, on the other hand, is in fiscal deficit.
@@CharlieVane21 Too simplistic that is the problem. Again, where does this lazy terminology come from? I would say the academic middle class, city-dwelling elites.
What the f. is this? A segment from FT designed to be shown on Sesame Street. FFS.
Sounds like shrimso went too hard at the Xmas party
is that a paper?
12:00 This is because the Remain vote was split between Lab and Lib. Resulting in a Tory win. Look at Kensington as an example. You’re welcome.
It means the end of the UK is what it means
LET'S GET CHRISTMAS DONE. THE RAMOANERS WILL TRY EVERYTHING TO STOP IT. BUT WE MUST DO WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT (& SANTA). WE WILL MARCH AND PROTEST TO MAKE IT HAPPEN. MERRY BREXMAS EVERYONE.
Who were the London labour voters ?
Awesome win 😎
It's a blue dawn
It's a blue day
It's a blue life for me
And I'm feeling blllluuuueeee
Just the possibility of a united Ireland makes it worth putting up with the Tories for four years.
They keep talking about the red wall wanting a softer brexit, where did they get that idea from? My take was the old industrial heartlands want a harder brexit (one of the many reasons they didnt back Labour)... they want their industry back, not scraps from the Germans table? You can say its a mistake but its could also a mistake not to try (with addition of never knowing/proving them wrong)? * btw jrm is very likeable.
It's not so much about what they want, but about delivering something that is still widely accepted as brexit while minimising economic fallout. These areas may preach a hard form of brexit, but I'm sure they'll change their tune once the workers at Nissan are sent home because the production line is blocked up by customs.

Why is england in Ireland? Did they bought the land from the Irish?
England have been in Ireland for over 800 years. You have some history to catch up on.🍀
UK will not get any better deal than Canada or Japan and those deals take a decade to be done.
Unless of course you have something the other side wants.
Oh dear. And how many millions of Canadians and Japanese starved to death during that decade?
The U.K has now re-opened for business.
Try our new deal in packets of NHS chunks.
UK trade with the EU will be at a premium and will still have conform to EU regs.
The Conservatives gained more seats, but in terms of share of the vote, Anti-Brexit parties gained a bigger increase than Pro-Brexit parties.
Is that a pineapple on Miranda’s head?
Most if not all of these Tory voters in the Northern industrial areas did not vote for a soft Brexit, they voted for getting out of the EU. If they had thought for one moment that leaving the EU would materially affect their lives they would not have voted Tory. Clearly no one has persuaded the vast majority of the people that frictionless trade with Europe as you call it, is such a vitally important thing to have. So what if it takes a day or two longer for your jam to arrive in Berlin, for example. This assuming that is that the company you work for is producing anything for export, never mind something that has to arrive within 24 hours? This also assuming that you have a job at all. Where are these millions of job loses going to come from? What industries will actually be badly affected? What products would not be made under WTO, which would have been otherwise? No one has bothered to answer these questions, because there is either very few, or not enough to justify paying billions in various ways to remain in the EU, with all of the other disadvantages, costs, and lack of democratic accountability. I run my own exporting manufacturing company, and if I don't have a bloody clue, then I strongly suggest that neither of you do either.
I currently sell my products all over the World, with no problems at all, 30% of which to EU states. Far from trade to EU states being frictionless, there is in reality MORE paperwork involved, then selling them anywhere else. The majority of the paperwork is done, and all of the duty paid by the importer, not the exporter. If my customers can't be bothered with either, it is best that they did not buy them in the first place. If a foreign or domestic customer makes a profit from buying and selling stuff, they will carry on doing so, with or without a bit of duty to be paid, or a 24 hour delay in delivery. If they can make the bloody things themselves or buy the same cheaper from a local supplier, they would already be doing so. If up to 4% duty makes so much difference, then they can basically sod off.
Also good to hear from sensible people who actually know what they're talking about.
uk is a giant bong now
As an American cousin, I am so happy the land of my ancestors will throw off the yoke of the EU and once again be a free sovereign country. People of Britain, our ancestors can now rest in peace.
H Kay Lol, I didn’t kill anyone.
We still need to deal with government over-reach, they do NOT like the idea of an armed and defensive populace yet.
7:32 Miranda says "erection".
Is she listing to him at all?
I don't think she's listing at all
Why didnt the brexit party win like they did last election?
They pulled out of many seats to avoid splitting the Leave vote. They put their country above their own egos.
@@codyw1 As u should, as you could.
No insight, quite boring.

This is crap. The Leavers on the recycled map were the only ones to vote Labour. ie Liverpool, Wirral and Chester. The red wall was not breached there.
