There's always something faintly creepy about the Volkswagens produced during World War II, painted in Wehrmacht gray and with the strange KdF-Wagen VW logo with the gear outline. Here's one for sale (the comment from The_Carmudgeon is from me).

@coopey It's an interesting intellectual exercise to speculate on whether the UK would be in the current situation had the last election been conducted according to proportional representation, or some variant thereof--or if the referendum had required majorities in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland as well as in England in order to pass.

@hazardwarning I dare say that if the UK were going to hand it to a single individual to make the decision, they could do far worse than an old lady in London who likes corgis and horses. I suspect she has more political wisdom in her little finger than the rest of them put together.
