Who will lead Britain out of the European Union

...becomes, the easier it will be for those who remain to point out the inconsistencies (even if they suffer from a similar problem to a lesser degree). By keeping the two groups apart, different messages can be sent out. That in turn, raises the question of what happens after the referendum. For Elliott and Cummings, the vote is a discrete event, to be contested and then...

Here's how we can save the car – and the planet at the same time

...become more expensive, relying on cars with relatively shorter lifespans to flood the market is not in anyone’s interest. Not even the car makers, who at best can only make 5% annual profit. The current business model may not survive in the longer term. It may naturally make more sense for manufacturers to build and service cars as long-lasting rental products. Some...

A letter that starts the renegotiation process – Cameron writing to Tusk

...become an "unsustainable" burden for the welfare state. Cameron’s wish list also voices concerns with regards to sovereignty. The goal to create an “ever-closer union” in Europe is seen as a threat to the UK’s sovereignty, although it has never been clearly established what this entails and whether the position of the Member States could differ from one another....

Battered, Hurt, ...Shutting? Why has BHS struggled on the high street?

...become progressively less important to consumers, and to the towns where it operates. The sites its stores occupy are often central and sometimes externally grand physical spaces, but commercially they are underperforming and internally many of the stores are dated.

Referendum Rhetoric: keeping a-hold of nurse or leaping into the dark?

...becoming isolated. In 1871, Professor Seeley concluded his talk about a United States of Europe by imagining ‘a European public opinion gradually educated to see before it a new Federation rising like a majestic temple over the tomb of war, emulating the transatlantic Federation in prosperity and unity but surpassing it by far in all the riches of culture, manners and...

Why do American parties hold conventions?

...become relatable, as well as to convey some of those qualities which Trump’s campaign will want to highlight. Besides his religious and social conservative credentials – things for which Trump is hardly noted – his strong suit will be competence and executive experience.

‘Super-human’ athletes are at risk from the post-Olympic blues – here’s why

...become irrelevant. Accordingly, many athletes lose focus, feel lost and lack direction. As London 2012 gold medallist Victoria Pendleton stated: You have all this build-up for one day, and when it’s over, it’s: ‘Oh, is that it?’ You’re relieved but kind of sad and numb. It’s over … people think it’s hard when you lose, but it’s almost easier to come...

Trump and the triumph of hopeful nihilism

...become to fight an order that prioritises profit over people. The nihilists have won this election because being “pragmatic” does not address the large-scale systematic changes that are needed to fight rising inequality. Nevertheless, the impulse of joyful destruction as expressed through Trump – and indeed Brexit – threatens to make an already bad situation much...
