I live in France, and it is very possible that I could be booted out of France, straight back to the United Kingdom. Furthermore, whether you like it or not, people are not stupid for using their vote. What would you prefer them to do not vote at all? For 1,973 years, we were never really a part of Europe until the Common market happened, and even then, neither the French or the Germans wanted us. Either way, those people had a right to vote and they stood by their convictions. The Scots want their independance from the United Kingdom too, so, I say give it to them, it is their right. Calling those who voted for brexit "braindead", is about the same as those who are going to vote for Clinton who continues to spout lie, after lie, after lie. Tells me all I need to know about the "imbeciles", and "braindead", who will vote for her.And yet Brexit won when every single expert was telling us that it was a bad move. This was even commented on by Gove who told us that Britain was fed up with experts. It is the anti-intellectualism of the US coming to the UK.
The rise of the dumb has begun.
Do you have faith in any politician? You are not seriously telling me that you hold the likes of Clinton, Trump, Obama, Hollande, Merkel, Corbyn et all all in high-esteem? Again, I guess I was happy with the result and I had my chance to vote, but I didn't because I sit on the fence when it comes to politicians. In fact, they are like Union leaders; they make it look as though they are helping, but in the end, they line their own pockets before anyone elses. So yeah, a politician for me is a bit like priests; all fucking liars and bent as a 9-bob note.
