Brexit: The DT Poll

[cookie]

Just wan't to leave this here

I hate him so much

I don't know why, he is absolutely hillarious!

The vote was already decided after that murder. Past week has been a bore. Should be a reminder for future extremists. If you want to lose a vote for sure, you kill the opposition.

[seebart]

That's macabre but true.

I honestly don't know how much effect that has had, you may be right , i don't know. The main thing i think is , people talk big about leaving , but when it comes down to it they brick it and go for the stasis quo. Fore sure the murder has had an effect i just don't know how big it is.

The conspiracy theorist part of myself wants to say it was organised by the remain campaign to turn people against the leave, who gives there name as " Death to traitors , freedom for Britain" ! There is no evidence of this and its insane to say.
But do i think our government would stoop this low ? Yes , Did they ? 99.999999% no .

[…] The conspiracy theorist part of myself wants to say [the murder] was organised by the remain campaign […]

So why not refrain from saying it instead of seemingly innocently spreading that aberrant theory?
Put the blame on Stalin or Hitler instead, it will be even more plausible.
Or aliens wanting to take hold of the Earth (or at least the most precious part of it, i.e. Britain).

My great fear for the US is that when Trump's epic and spectacular fail is complete, his frustrated horde of crazies will go on a scorched-earth campaign like we have never seen before.

At least in Britain very few of the true nutballs are actually armed or organized.

Fohat the "crazies" in this situation are not the Trump supporters, it would be the democrats.

I think three people have already tried to kill Trump at a rally. Wouldn't you label them as crazy? What makes Trump supporters so craaazyyyy?

The Trump protesters are the ones causing the most havoc, not the supporters.

Wow, someone here totally lost his sanity.

Some things seem not to change over the decades ...

I think there are more now this time around that really don't want the "Brexit". We shall find out in the next 48 hours. And I'll post this again just because...

I wonder when we can expect debates on Frexit, Czexit, Spexit, Swexit.
Other countries should not even consider leaving the EU,
who want to talk about such ugly things like Italexit, Maltexit or (shiver!) Luxexit?
And sorry for Slovenia and Slovakia, but if they want to leave the EU,
they will have to do it together

[seebart]

And of course there is the ultimate...Drexit.

How unfortunate.

[jacobolus]

Hahahah fuck you John Oliver

??

John Oliver is a famous TV host who lives in the US and is going to be just fine.

English pensioners on the other hand...

[photekq]

I should stop promising to make posts once I "find the time". It seems I'm not very good at finding time recently.

The sense of relief and euphoria that is flowing over me at the moment is immense. We have succeeded, even in Wales!

To all of our European friends : We bid you a loving farewell. We adore you, we just don't adore that Union or The Commission. We're sending help; hopefully France will follow us on the next lifeboat

I, for one, am looking forward to the year 2026. Hopefully the world finally learns then!

[Wodan]

HA! Well I prefer to see the Brexit win by a small margin than the other way around. What a message if 52% decided to stay. That would really silence the Brexit faction and mend all the conflicts between EU and UK.

Now we can all see what happens if a long time member of the EU decides to leave - from a relatively safe distance (if you're not British lawl) and no matter how it turns out, we can learn from their experience.

Britain never really commited to the EU and this vote just shows me they haven't accepted their new, post-WW2 role/position in the world. Let's hope this will not end in total desaster for Britain and be a wakeup call for many anti-EU factions in other EU countries. I have greatly misjudged today's world if a nationalistic course of isolation is the solutions to any problem.

[adhoc]

Ah yes, seems like the cherry picked polls, "no more than 25% for leave" and such statements were utter bollocks.

Hell yeah. Brits deserve better. Im guessing a small economical hiccup might occur, but nothing UK cant overcome.

[BimboBB]

Wow, didnt expected that. Congrats Britain! You did the right thing. EU is a nice idea, but execution was/is so utterly wrong. I wish I could vote as well, but germans wont be asked....because "democracy".

[Madhias]

The results of the poll also show the future UK borders! From a world empire to its final size, we in Austria got our smaller size a long time ago

[Wodan]

The promise if simple solutions to complex problems is having a real comeback. Erdogan, Putin, Trump, Brexit, Orban, AfD, FPÖ ... Religion & Nationalism provide a safe haven and simple solutions for people feeling lost or left behind in today's world. Neither has ever lead to success and prosperity, overcoming them was the big success of the 20th century. Guess some lessons were lost along the way and it's time for another lap.

And I always thought I was a conservative kind of guy

[matt3o]

I'm available at hosting an English family if they want to leave before they mine the channel.

I don’t think you understand how predictions work.

When someone says “75% chance of rain tomorrow” and it doesn’t rain, that doesn’t mean the prediction was “utter bollocks”.

[derzemel]

Northern Ireland, Scotland and London voted to remain in EU... what happens now?

[jacobolus]

Irish unification! Belated victory for Sinn Féin.

Maybe London can leave the UK. (Or more realistically, all the young people will GTFO when the economy drops through the floor, led by the financial services industry.)
