The best thing about brexit is how it totally destroyed the credibility of Brits criticizing other stupid countries.

The second best is how iPhone prices shot way up due to the new exchange rate and they only have their idiot countrymen to blame.

There's also paranoid lunatics who think Germany (and possibly others) use the EU to secretly control the UK, and rubes who believed the government would have more money to put into the NHS if they left the EU.

Next you'll tell me Bernie Sanders isn't the Democrat nominee because the DNC, Media, Hillary, DOJ, State Department, and Silicon Valley colluded against him.

If this is a serious question: the reason the vote happened is basically a deal between conservatives, who wanted to run the government at any cost, and actual hardcore racists who just wanted to grandstand about Brexit for publicity purposes.

Smart people offered the consultation to bumpkins in order to get bumpkins to support them over other smart people, under the belief that the consultation would never pass.

I hope you're happy that you got me to describe Boris Johnson as a 'smart person', I feel dirty inside now.

he's right, but also the EU is bad. One of the worst things about leaving, next to the racism, is people suddenly pretending the capitalist pig EU is good :shrug:

Also in case you haven't realized, most voters (in every country) are actually morons and trusting them with even simple decisions via direct democracy is a terrible idea. Assuming that any of them understand the complexities of leaving your the EU and aren't swayed by racist charlatans was a stupid thing to do. Now smart people need to go in and fix the mess that they allowed the idiots to drag them into.

Duh, we wanted the kind of sovereignty that meant we could beat up all the coloured folk, not this 'applying UK law to stop the PM acting as a literal dictator' kind of sovereignty.

you have to admit it's a good reply to people asking "Can you tell us what Brexit means for the average British citizen?". It's a decent dodge and has a certain "we're going to do it come hell or high water, don't you worry you voter just trust us" vibe.

e: because an actual honest reply would be something like "a bunch of poo poo and not that many fewer foreigns around because they're already here and we can't very well kick them out"
