The UK Referendum on Membership of the European Union

[Valystria]

That is very demeaning to the British people who sincerely feel they are on the verge of winning a hard-fought independence from the tyranny of Brussels.

They don't know what a fight for independence is.

Yeah, they do, they've put down plenty.

No shit. Are you seeing this?

Right wing reactionaries are celebrating in force tonight.

I know I am.
Its happening....

[Gauthier]

Can someone explain to this uninformed American why Scotland seems to stand out in the results, while basically the entire rest of the U.K. voted to leave?

Scotland was denied independence and this is only going to reignite the drive.

EUROPEAN UNION BTFO

[Bojikami]

I henceforth declare today British Independence Day.

[Souseiseki]

To ignore it would be an affront to democracy and complexly wrong.

why? they just voted for parliament to have the power to do whatever the hell it wants. if they want a government that can't do whatever it wants and has zero obligation to actually listen to anything they say unless they feel like it maybe they should have thought about that before voting.

[Ralkovian Grand Island]

So yeah, I'm officially ashamed to call myself British now.

Uh huh.

Deus Vult.

I need a drink or two. Or twelve. I can feel my money slipping away.

You seem like a rational guy, so the melodrama can wait. Sure, this will inevitably have damaging short term effects, but to act as if economic anathema will occur is simply unfounded.

So, put down the bottle and turn on the TV, c'mon.

....That said, I can't be a hypocrite, I'm pretty tipsy, but that's for another reason.

OK, so only the future can determine what is to come. My best bet is a second round after the economic pain and a withdrawal of demands, but we'll see. This has been fascinating, however, to see people's reactions and to be so wrong determining political outcomes which I can usually do well. I haven't been this wrong since the Israeli elections, and Bibi screwed me with his announcement that Arabs were voting so you better vote too.

Best of luck to Britain. I hope this hurts you as little as possible, but I hope we can all see it through. You are obviously a fundamental part of Europe, and a privileged ally of many member-States, but your place was never really in the Union.

Agreed. I think Britain would fare better outside the EU, as they associate more toward the Americans than the Europeans. And I think the EU's federalists should celebrate as their biggest obstacle has left them.

You don't understand. The damage that has already been caused is eating into my finances, and most people aren't even awake to panic in the markets yet.

Fuck me sideways...is there no way Parliament can override?

[The Liberated Territories]

I wonder if Ron Paul predicted this one, too?

I would not be surprised. Do you know what his stance was on this topic? I've not kept on my Ron Paul related news.

This is something. He did predict gold will rise.

Broad brushes, fam, don't use 'em. There are rational arguments on both sides and you know it.

Besides, you're an anarchist, why would you support the EU....?

Everyone trashing the result and calling the British people stupid are completely off base. The people voted in a free and fair referendum and that result has to be respected. To ignore it would be an affront to democracy and complexly wrong.

Considering most people who chose to leave think they're fighting for the UK's sovereignty and independence are wrong, we should totally laugh at them and the idiotic choice they made.

[The balkens]

Uh huh.

That the result has to be respected doesn't mean it's not a stupid decision.

I never been completely in favour of democracy, I just don't know of any way of establishing a benevolent dictatorship.

Oh, we're not ignoring it don't worry.
We're just saying it's a stupid decision on a dumb topic that's tanked the country.
