The polls show a lot of people voting for leave even though they thought it would hurt the economy. So, yeah, pure spiteful racism played a role here.

Money is literally the only valid justification for doing anything ever.

Wtf is this bullshit

quote:

We the undersigned call upon HM Government to implement a rule that if the remain or leave vote is less than 60% based a turnout less than 75% there should be another referendum.

Supposedly the parliament is supposed to address any petition that gets over 100,000 signatures ?

It's not really democratic when you campaign on allowing British citizens abroad being able to vote in the referendum and then backing out at the last minute

which is why the UK was weak enough to enter the european union, then throw a tizzy about sovreignty. While, we hold a good chunk of the world power, could probably influence the UK and the EU into failure if we wished. If you want to matter, and the independence thing is about asserting dominance right? but you don't have it, and we do, and that's probably because we don't let things like sovereignty be dictated by simple majority, representing the will of the people only half the people in a fleeting political climate.

Farage and some of his buddies claimed that with the savings from no longer paying EU fees they could save the NHS and roll back budget cuts without raising taxes. Which is a lot more attractive than DONT BE RACIST or BANKS WILL BE DESTROYED but also was a lie so there you go

fleeting, yes. surely Leave winning is a harsh blow toward nationalism, and wont embolden other nations to propose a referendum of their own... wait

Essentially, the Brexiters said they would have to cut benefits to make that 350 million pound membership due to the EU and that would be better used to prop up the National Health.

And now they're going back on that.
