Yes, look what happened last election when the uneducated voted.

An election is not a referendum.

It's the whole reason why we have a representative democracy.

We won't get a direct democracy until the year 2107 when everyone will have chip implants that allows us to communicate collectively via thought.

Until then you are better off trying to get your elite brethren to do what you want instead of trying to get rid of their jobs.


So basically the UK is Ontario now.

The endless rebuke of the Brexiters gets more delicious by the day.

That'll be great for the 3% of Canadians that think.

Which is still a significantly greater number of people that think than Americans. ;)

libs don't always win, so conclude electoral system broken; referendums don't always go their way, so conclude they don't work.

The Daily Express is reporting that EU political chiefs are about to unveil their long-held plan to morph the EU member states - the 27 remaining members - into one giant superstate.

The remaining members will lose the right to have their own army, criminal law, taxation system and central bank, with those powers being transferred to Brussels. Member states will also have to lose what little control they have left over their own borders, including the procedure for admitting and relocating refugees.

Looks like Britain is getting out just in the nick of time.

Meanwhile, former professional tennis played Andrew Castle has launched an angry tirade at alcoholic European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker on LBC radio, dismissing Juncker's "arrogant" response over Britain's decision to quit the EU.

Castle said: "How dare you dismiss what we have all said?

We spoke and you dismiss it.

There is exactly the problem with the perception of the European Union.

Some guy, wearing a suit, who we didn't vote for, standing there and dismissing us, this island nation that's won two world wars and been a beacon for years."

Britain is single-handedly taking on the EU and telling it to f*ck off.

So honest question Blackie...

What about all the reports coming out now of racism and such going on? Telling people of Polish descent to "Go home" and so on? What if those people have been in the UK for years; do they suddenly have to go back home or do they get to stay? What about other immigrants?

There's no increase in racism. Just an increase in reports of it by anti-Brexit Sky News, BBC News, ITV News, Channel 4 News and Channel 5 News.

It's weird how fighting for, and gaining, independence and sovereignty for your nation was once deemed a noble and patriotic thing but now, ever since our societies have become hijacked by the left, it's now made out to be the preserve of bigots and racists.

Y'all usually deemed it treason, seeing as how it was y'all that folks were fighting for independence and sovereignty from.

So where would it have to come from in order to be legitimate to you? What about video of it?

I'll give you the no increase, just for your sake, but people are being more open about it.

Just the video alone. Apparently being American isn't even okay? Britain for British? Is that what this Brexit is doing?

And you Americans fought a bloody war to get independence whereas we, in typically British fashion, achieved it at the ballot box.

It's just a bunch of Remain losers who are seeing ordinary racism which happens everyday, linking it, without any evidence, to the referendum result and then reporting it, when normally they would have forgotten about it a few minutes later.
