Who said they're becoming America-like. More like Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, etc. like.

Not even - we will become a right wing basket case with a brand new nuclear weapons system and a failing economy and zero safeguards about those in power. This lot are bad but there is the possibility of something much much worse.

Clearly there are only two possibilities. Being in the EU or being a "a right wing basket case with a brand new nuclear weapons system and a failing economy and zero safeguards about those in power". There are no other types of country.

Poland is the latter while remaining in the EU. Just without the nukes.

I wasn't clear in my comment - I think the decision making to avoid compliance with the EU (even when it is sensible) is going to cause big problems for the UK economy and if that get's really bad the public seem determined to vote for more and more right wing governments out of fear. I think it's a reasonable concern with the lack of safeguards in the British system of government.

I think you're being a bit sensationalist. E.g. people mock 'Singapore on Thames' but do you really think Singapore is a right-wing hellscape? It has many of the same systems the UK does.

You could hardly call it a democracy.
