There's a lot wrong with the EU and even more that's really great about it. In either case, leaving without a single shred of a plan in place has been the dumbest thing to ever happen in history. The referendum shouldn't have even been announced until the leave campaign outlined a clear strategy in the event of brexit.

The main reasons people wanting out of the union aren't likely to happen as I'm guessing that the borders will stay as open open to the union as it currently is so we can have european workers.
Plus that dickhead Farage has done a u-turn on his statement saying the £350 million a week will go to the NHS, which he never had any power to implement anyway. -
burtybob4488yI voted remain but fully back BREXIT!
My concern with voting leave was the uncertainty its causing. Long term I believe England and Wales will be better out than in, especially for the SMBs -
I disagree.
If the EU is trampling democracy, then change it. Leaving is exactly the same thing as saying "if Trump wins, I leave the US". -
@Linux The same way every other democracy does it. By argument in a parliament and getting to a consensus.
-
Linux438108yI am more concerned why the brits is trusting a union they founded almost 43 years ago. The voters knows best.
-
sterex4388y@Linux The voters DON'T know best. But, they deserve every bit of the consequence of their vote - good or bad.

There's been several videos appearing online where leave voters either didn't think their votes would count or now want to change to remain and are worried.
I was watching them mortified with what they've done and they haven't got a clue.
Makes me think there should be a minimum quota to reach on an IQ test when registering to vote. Yes everyone deserves a voice, but only if they understand that they're not sitting a mock exam and every vote has equal weight. -
@Linux Do you leave your country whenever the political party you voted for loses? Does the political party declare independence whenever a bill they wanted to pass doesn't pass?
-
@beningreenjam That is a very dangerous thing. There are many ways by which this becomes racial profiling, gender profiling or (the worst case in my opinion) a class thing.
If the richer you are the more access to education and information you get, the rich will be voting and the poor won't. And then we're back to feudalism.
I think the problem lies with those who have enough means to manoeuvre public opinion to suit their needs.
Yesterday, the Bank of England said it will be making £250 billion available to the government to "appease" the financial market. That money will become part of the national debt and will be paid with taxpayers' money in the end.
There are a few people making shitloads of money out of this. -
@BellAppLab you don't have to come from a rich background to have common sense. That's why it's called common sense. I may portrayed a different idea than that I meant. I'm still reacting in anger to the way this whole shambles has been handled from the start. I know my idea would never happen.
And yes I know that it may have been a deliberate act to earn a lot of money for the 1%, but I'm not about to the tin foil hat brigade just yet. -
@beningreenjam Agreed.
On a side note, I don't subscribe to conspiracy theories either. I just think people are paying attention to the wrong things. I mean, "OMG, the UK contributes with £11 billion to Brussels a year. That's money that should be used in our schools! Those thieving bastards!" But spending 23x that with the financial market is perfectly fine.
Am I the only one that support Brexit here?
Do you dissaggre with me? And why?
