I'm in the UK now. I feel a great need to get here as fast as possible following the referendum result. I'm going to buy a house now I have confidence that there'll always be an England and try to work out how to split my time between Australia and the UK as evenly as possible (I'm getting close to retirement age when 50/50 might work).

Will mean I won't be doing a live thread for the Australian Federal Election this weekend as I did in 2004, 2007, 2010, and 2013 - but it's hard to be enthusiastic this time anyway, as the Australian choice is 'hold your nose and vote' - vote for a non-conservative centrist who is leading the conservative coalition because so many people in Parliament didn't have the guts to fight for what they believe in - or hope for a Labor win, so the country will see them implode and put them back into opposition for the next decade or so in 2019.

I wonder why it’s such a big deal. A big part of anti-exiter propaganda was that the UK is totally irrelevant and unimportant and would just be completely unnoticeable if not for the mighty EU.

I'm confused (not really). The EU elite and their minions are saying the vote isn't binding. Would it not have been binding if they won?

We have our parallel. The disgusting backstabbing GOP elite are trying to say that the votes of us little folk shouldn't be binding.

History has not been kind to elitists who ignore the will of us little folk.

Good luck to you!

While I have no affinity for royals (my family bugged out in the 17th) I wish you and your countrymen well. You can weather this storm.

I’d actually like to come back and visit sometime before I die, I hope there’s still an “English” England to visit. My last visit was in ‘73. Too young to really appreciate it.

What amazes me is how shrill and hysterical some of the young snowflakes that I know from Northern Virginia are about this referendum. It’s amazing—and it’s not just them. Even older Democrats I know are lock-step in the hysteria. I think David French’s new piece at NRO explains it well though.
