Brexit Referendum - Page 65 - Politics and Economics

The fact the leave complain aren't actually doing this and farage had to admit On national tv that this was a mistake was pretty funny. Can't say I'm surprised

So long as we can still ascribe any political difference to HATE, then we're good. That's the important thing.

If someone thinks differently than I do, it can't just be because we have different, but equally valid, opinions. no, no. I'M smart and HE'S hateful.

I was speaking more broadly--without American help they'd be speaking Russian in France (and all of Europe).

The local radio broadcasts are in English, reporting British news. Traditional English pubs fly the Union Jack and serve pints of ale. If you're hungry, there are fish and chips shops, and full English breakfasts with heaps of baked beans. Supermarkets stock Yorkshire tea and Marmite. Feeling sporty? Head over to the cricket club, or go lawn bowling.

You might be fooled into thinking this is Britain. But it's Spain's Mediterranean coast — home to the largest U.K. expat community in Europe. At least 13 million Britons visit Spain each year, and hundreds of thousands have settled here.

I'm pretty sure that I could safely walk through any neighborhood in London after dark. I can't speak for all of the UK of course.

I’m a bit shocked to be honest. I’m shocked that we actually have voted to Leave, I didn’t think that was going to happen.

My vote, I didn’t think was going to matter too much because I thought we were just going to Remain, and the David Cameron resignation has blown me away to be honest.

I think the period of uncertainty that we’re going to have for the next couple of months, that’s just been magnified now.

Obviously its based on who would vote for/against, so yes way it is, in the most recent polls on this subject it was about 50/50.

Ha-ha, this is probably why a lot of voting generally is near 50-50, people thinking it's a game. Is the outcome a coin flip or what?

yeah there's way less fun to be had pointing and laughing at Trump when the closest the UK has just swung an entire nation away from Europe

I guess you are forgetting what an impact Detroit and US made at supporting and transporting Russia in their destruction of Germany.

When this was announced it was around midnight US time, US futures were immediately off 5%, now only down 2%

Not much volatility so far

I don't think it is. Their other stories are about Lewindawoski joining CNN, which actually happened. Though, it has a rather inflammatory headline.

We really need an extra option on the ballot for those who want to protest, spoil the paper, feel like they should get involved, but don't understand what's going on, etc.

Then they can just spoil their ballot, make themselves heard, say they voted, and not spoil the country's future. All the folks who voted for both yesterday had the right idea.
