Son of Rodney posted:this whole thing is like a long argument between two spouses, where one person after years of perceived slights just flips out and punshes the wall Come on. The English always felt superior to the Continent such that the thought of them being second to the Germans in the order of the European Union was simply intolerable. English resentment of Germany was a considerable factor in Brexit IMO

Neurosis posted:as someone not in the uk i think the posts i am seeing on facebook etc have a lower ratio of knowledge to outrage than on any occasion I can remember. Yeah, its cool how basically everyone took sides based on which side they identify with and almost no idea whether the result would be good or bad.

If Clinton loses or barely wins and alienates the base more like the GOP did, 2020 is going to the Democrat version of Trumping with establishment Democrats not only losing but being told they have small dicks/dried up vaginas and that they should probably self harm.

All I know is that I should have exchanged for some dollars before the ref. I'm moving to Vietnam soon and now my money is worth 20% less than a few days ago. The leave side won purely because so many old people who still have that Great British nationalist mindset voted leave, and what's worse, they won't be affected for as long by the result.

I think Cameron could have easily put it off without facing any sort of public backlash, but decided that he would call it quickly in the hopes that Leave wouldn't have built up enough steam, the referendum would fail, and everyone would shut up about it. He was probably thinking that, with the trend showing support growing, and his term stretching out ahead of him, that he'd have to hold one eventually, and the sooner it happened the less likely it would be to win.

You can't say there was no leave sentiment. UKIP got a serious amounts of votes in the election even if they did get gently caress all seats.

it's funny to think of cameron ascending to the vaunted status of World Leader, blissfully ignorant of the fact that one day the highlights of his reign would be marked down in the history books as "hosed Pig. Destroyed Europe."

A later vote would have given more time for discussion regarding the realities of a British exit. Either it was too late already, at which point a longer period of discussion and education would have been the only route to diminish the leave sentiment, or it would have happened whether he called it early or not, which still would have been an argument for waiting.
