Yeah, that’s definitely something which didn’t occur to them.
“We’re leaving!”
“That’s too bad. We’ll miss you.”
“We want a deal!”
“If you really want to go, you can go.”

I think the potential damage to the littles in the UK is the point.

Any number of dimensions would be a welcome change at this point.

I think he will get exactly what he wants: a narrative explaining how everything is the EU’s fault.
Then when no deal Brexit happens there will be enough disruption and discontent for him to get the mandate for drastic emergency measures to save the UK from the vindictive EU.
It will be the great neoliberal trolley dash.

You mean we won’t get a magic superhero to save us? Surely the world is asking some billionaire to step in to save us with his fleet of self-driving coal-powered Total Information Awareness killbots.

I think that would be preferable to having society toppled by a bunch of morons, such as we have now. It would be entertaining, and you would have something concrete to fight agaist.

That term was popularized by the eugenics movement.
It makes just as much sense to think of structural problems (such as powerful people hearing from yes-lings), common cognitive biases, and malice, instead of intellectual disability.

I assume you are referring to “moron?” If Bugs Bunny can use the term to describe such people as Elmer Fudd, I have no problem using it to categorize Viktor Orban, Nigel Farage and such like.

EU: No we don’t
UK: We’ll leave without a deal! Your economy will be ruined!
EU: You’re literally mad
UK: Last chance!
EU: We’re so sorry you’re leaving
UK: So you’ve changed your mind?

This is something I’ve been wondering. Does the Queen have the authority to say “stuff it up your bleedin’ jacksie, Boris?”
Behind closed doors, of course.

If there’s any point to the monarchy at all, it’s that the Queen gets dibs on any proposed dictatorship
The classic struggle is between royal and parliamentary power
Boris can hardly claim that he’s shutting down Parliament on behalf of Parliament
He’s not supposed to have any independent authority of his own

Approximately when can we expect Brexit propaganda on posters on dorm room walls and novelty mugs? 2060?

Somehow I don’t think the designs will ever be seen as timeless.
