FRANCE today told Britain to appoint a new prime minister within “a few days” and to immediately quit the EU by soon triggering Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty.

Yep, suspect he’s really worried the French will want their vote next

Both France and Germany have national elections in May, 2017, so they are understandably nervous that their peons might get ideas.

The vote occurred two days ago. What do you suppose could have been done between then and now, to restore shaken faith in democracy everywhere?

Cameron said they won’t make it official before 4 months. That seems unreasonably long delay and people WILL get upset and theories saying the government will ignore the vote will gain traction.

It took decades to do, undoing it will not happen overnight.

Great analogy. If The EU is in such a hurry for the UK to file divorce papers, just kick the UK out. Otherwise STFU!!

Oh heck, I make all kinds of mistakes. No point in not owning up to them. I learned long ago I wasn’t the brightest bulb, but I wasn’t the dimmest either. I just try to improve as I go along in life, and not make the same mistakes, too often anyway, LOL.
