It looks like Britain mirrors the U.S. Half want independence and half want dependence.

Which is why they have a parliament and not government by referendum. Can’t have the “peasants” making decisions and all that, can we?

The poll came as UKIP was battling to restore party discipline after one of its local councillors in England caused it embarrassment by saying recent flooding across Britain was God’s punishment for parliament backing gay marriage. …

Uh, how do they know it ISN’T punishment?

We shouldn’t say it is or it isn’t, but one cannot rule that possibility out.

The nation ought to return to God. Britain and the US are an embarrassment to moral Christianity.

The remaining 48% said, “hey, we just got here!”

I believe that was at least a month ago. I doubt it's an issue anymore.

Also, it's not clear at all if this is a 53-48 split. The 'pro EU' segment could be much less than 48% with many undecideds or don't cares. The article (purposely?) is not specific on that.

The EU is just Hitler’s Germany.
