Looks like a fair amount if labor votes to leave (35 percent or so?). A Trump/Sanders populist coalition?

Good to see "People who don't vote the way I vote are just stupid" is an international phenomenon.

I don't think Britain should leave but calling ppl who did want to leave racist and stupid is silly.

You cant say working class people who haven't had pay rises in years because of an unlimited labour supply are simply stupid or racist because they believe voting for brexit is in their own self interest. Maybe i see this differently because my parents are working class and 100% not racists.

The ill-informed and largely prejudiced provinces vote to turn the clock back, aided by a demographic who won't be alive to suffer the long-term consequences of their vote.

blaming immigration for their lack of pay rises and all kinds of other things is, erhm, not not racist.

It's pretty hard to see economic suicide by referendum as anything other than idiotic, but hey, maybe you can latch on to some of the leave camp's fairy tales to make yourself feel good about it!

It's not racist it's supply and demand. Racist means you don't like people of a different race. Not wanting to compete with 100s of people for 1 factory position has nothing to do with race.

And they don't blame immigration for lack of pay rise. They left the UK 11 years ago.

And lol @ independence day. Independent from a voluntary consensus based union, where you had the power to block anything you disliked. That will surely give you a much higher degree of freedom. Lmao

maybe but it's not trivial and nothing is remotely clear.

A 'stay in the EU' or 'leave with the rest of the UK' referendum seems the only fair thing but is it even possible.

If it is possible can we have one for London as well please.

the factual foundation for it is very thin to say the least. the reason people believe it's the foreigners fault is because they want to.
