You can waffle me and feel flemished, but I think it was last week walled on.

7 in 10 Leave voters said they thought there wasn't much in yesterday's vote. Leave voters were three times as likely to say that as Remain voters, more than three-quarters of whom thought the wrong vote would have disastrous consequences.

Diplomats of the German Foreign Office on twitter: We are now going to an Irish pub and get drunk. From tomorrow onwards, we work again for a better Europe. Promised!

@Lordyaswas,

You are certainly entitled to your opinion, everyone is Smile

The truly awful part of it is that the majority of young people voted to remain in the EU while the older generation favored the Brexit - thus deciding the future of young Brits and in my opinion a bleak future. According to YouGov, the main reasons people voted Leave were immigration and sovereignty, the latter being the Euroskeptic idea that the U.K. has given away power to the EU. Economic weren't even part of it, the young ones just got screwed! Sad

@cicerone imposter,

I often don't capitalize the words for a countries' citizens. It's part of my uncluttering mode. Sometimes I don't even capitalize the countries. Not that I don't respect them, but that I was raised capitalizing all sorts of stuff and I'm weary of it when I use the words a lot.

I'm listening - I see Lordy's intensity. I don't take him as racist or any of that stuff, not that you said he was, CJ., but others are assuming things like that of the Leavers.

I'm a listener/learner. Maybe we all are.

Now that the UK has seceded from the European Union in the Brexit, I wonder how long it's going to take all the internet Confederates on YouTube to call for the Southern States to secede from the American Union again in the Sexit.

What I find interesting about Brexit is that the older voters were the ones who made the determination, but it's going to affect the younger generation more, and they wanted a different outcome.

@cicerone imposter,

That's what I said a couple of post above. It's awful really that the older generation affected the younger ones future.

What's the average age of US congressmen? Despite dismal approval ratings year after year, nothing is done about their performance, or lack thereof.

The pound stirling is already stabilising after a fall, and the FTSE is also rising again.

Britain never fully embraced the EU, refusing to accept the euro.

This is all about globalism's catastrophe being rejected by the people.

It's not like a whole generation has grown up with the overbearing EU as an overlord.

The UK got a special treatment from the beginning onwards.

@Walter Hinteler,

Do you believe this will be bad for Britain in the long run?

I'm hearing that other nations are considering their position, since this has occurred.

@Builder,

I don't know if it bad or good for the UK. I grew up after a war, as a European. And I'm totally opposed to nationalism and right wing politics.

I don't know if other "nations" are considering leaving the EU as well.
But most populist and nationalist parties in EU-member countries do.
