Britons, the most EU skeptical people in the realm, voting to stay in the EU.
Add who in The UK supports staying, conservatives, men, older people (read traditionalists) and you have nothing less than self flagellation. LoL!
Quite remarkable I dare say. Not many people had the chance to vote for EU membership:
Referendums related to the European Union
Insanity has ravaged Britain! :-(
They should flee this disaster and stay far far away from it.
Is there ANY effing hope for the civilized world?
It's not the votes that matter, but who counts them.
That's how it works in supposedly politically clean Minnesota.
Don’t understand this at all. Everything I read about EU suggests democracy deficit, and the effort of EU elites to delegitimize any Eurosceptic perspectives. For the sake of liberty, I would vote for Brexit.
Given the loss the Austrian “far right” party just suffered, it certainly appears to any thinking person that the Eurozone is totally and completely gone. It is now a survival imperative for the US to elect Trump to have him implement his America First agenda to extricate this country from the clutches of a mad world.
Why don’t the Brits just slit their own throats and save the open borders EU the trouble? Or would that deprive the Muslim invaders the pleasure of seeing them all bleed out?
Populations that perceive themselves as dependent on the government for their daily bread will never, when it comes down to the wire, vote against what the perceive as their bread and butter even if they express and feel exasperation and even fear and hatred for their enslavement in the leadup to the vote.
There is a history of horrendously wrong polls there, employed for political purposes to create momentum and demoralize the opposition. I hope that is the case here. But you won’t go broke underestimating the stupidity of the public, so who knows.
My British peer group (ages 20-26, all white, all native-born) HATED Britain and Britishness. Not as much as they hated America, of course, but still, it was quite remarkable.
Those people are now in charge. Brexit never had a chance.
The fix is in, have to align that polling to the fixed result.
You really think a referendum would happen if Brexit had a chance?
The corrupt politicians in Brussels have too much to lose. The vote would have been rigged if needed.
There was never a doubt in my mind that Brexit would fail. There is no way to pull the lips of second generation welfare leeches off the teat.
