EU Parliament is incredibly responsive to lobbying institutions, but is unresponsive to public opinion.

Must say im kinda pleased to see the country putting itself first instead of worrying about others. Not gonna say i know absolutely everything about this but from what i can see defiantly the right choice.

Remain 48.1% and leave 51.9%

Soooooo close it almost was down to just that one person next to you... well little over 1m.

Remember everyone not to start a war because of one person speech again , I don't think it will be like fallout 4 wasteland fun but more metro 2033 on old ranger mode "Where the ammo! "fun.

I like how your use of defiantly was actually suitable here, even if it was a misspelling. The UK defiantly votes to leave the EU.

http://uk.businessinsider.com/brexit-betting-william-hill-says-the-biggest-single-bet-on-remain-was-in-the-five-figures-2016-6

"A woman in London placed the biggest Remain bet at £100,000 ($147,750) with odds of 2/5, which would yield a £40,000 profit if the gamble comes good."

Poor lady

"Meanwhile, another London woman placed £10,000 ($14,750) on a Leave vote at odds of 11/4, potentially making a profit of £27,500. Remarkably, it was her first ever bet."

She must be happy though.

We have a chance now to get back to the good old days, a mix of the 40's and 70's rolled all into one..

Yep, National strikes and rationing...

This would be the most interesting history lesson for future students.
  • Some English move to New World and form a colony.
  • Colony has a revolution, becomes independent from England.
  • Independent colony expands westward, isolated from Europe.
  • Old world has an all out war - twice. England gets help from the Independent Colony.
  • England joins a new united European Union.
  • England leaves the union to live under the rule of their former colony.

this was quite accurate, like 64% of scotland voted to remain but ave course our votes count for shit.

Plus side is that that this will force for another independence vote for us and no doubt it will be voted through this time
