Well I think that a lot of people bought the Remainers Project Fear campaign, you certainly seem to have.

The stock market will crash, nobody will trade with us, we will be subjected to terrorist attacks, prices will go up, global warming will be accelerated, environmental damage will occur. I could go on.
Not once did I see anything about how being in the EU benefits me, only prophecies of doom that should befall if we leave. On the other hand the Leave campaign was pretty simple. If you leave, unelected and unaccountable people in Brussels will not over rule your elected parliament. End of for me as I believe in democracy and accountability, I don't need anything more. Do you believe that everyone that voted Remain is of flawless character then? I am afraid there are undesirable people in this world and both Leavers and Remainers will have some people with personality flaws voting for them. As such, not sure what point you are trying to make. But this is much too hasty, and is going to cost us dearly. My biggest disappointment is that it was conducted not on a basis of actual tangible reasons, but on a campaign of mass hysteria that had little to do with what it should have been. Plus a healthy dose of dogmatism, arrogance and hypocrisy. I need not mention xenophobia. Had we not felt the need to leave in such haste (and without the unnecessary vitriol) we would have led the build of an astronomically good trading partner (5 times our size) whilst leaving with support of all, a comprehensive free trade agreement, and without removing several trillion off the global market for fear of a breakup of the world's largest economy. Patience is a virtue. So is wisdom. This referendum contained neither of these. |

Hopefully, whichever side of the debate you're on, you can find this funny

Farage has got what he wanted: Britain out of the EU. He can give up the UKIP leadership with his head held higher than a mountain and a place in history. He came out on top. What leader ever held office all through their lives? I hope when he retires from the UKIP leadership he goes on to make a lot of money in the private sector. |

Never was a good idea, but the new prospective leadership is now coming to grips with that reality. As I posted in another thread, it's like filing a lawsuit against your neighbour for being an "arsehole", then your lawyer advises you to settle because the evidence is flimsy. Yes it is a mess, but water finds level eventually. Good entertainment value at least. |

The shoe is now very firmly on the other foot, from the position we were stuck in just over a week ago. We can now do everything in our own time as it suits us. We can also call the shots as they need us more than we need them. Anybody noticed how all the threats against us of just over a week ago have now turned into very conciliatory terms ? :cool: |

After all, Britain obviously wasn't "wise" in how it was conducted, and sold voters a red herring, and that never goes well. I reckon they're just going to wait and see what transpires now. |
re: Post EU Referendum
Parliament is sovereign. This was an advisory referendum, but the decision will be up to parliament in the end.
Neither side should be counting their chickens just yet. We could be in the middle of another US election cycle before this whole thing is done with. |

The shoe is now very firmly on the other foot, from the position we were stuck in just over a week ago. Speak up, before your heroes mucky the pitch. Your ideas, not Breitbart's, please. I'll be checking. |
