The only thing that we have going for us is Parliamentary Sovereignty - there is a limit on the damage they can do. House of Lords are much less partisan than the Senate.... Otherwise, yeah. Fact is we are pretty much both equally screwed.

I think a strong EU is good for America and the world. The EU is stronger with the UK on board. The UK is stronger and more prosperous with the EU. America will be a better place without Trump but we still have some serious repairs to do.
