While you're at it, could you overthrow the royal family as well?

It would just require a few heads to be lopped off ...

I'm only playing. I don't expect this to happen, nor would it be right. I just wish more care was put into the decision in the first place, and I think the shockwaves of the outcome relative to the marginal result is appalling.

It's only marginal if all you care about is deciding a majority, as if pro votes would make no votes vanish. The shockwaves are the proportional outcome of more than half of a large country making a decision against the EU. That's not marginal, if you know what I mean.

Yeah, it's complete arse-rendering madness gone mad. Only caring about the majority of what the public decide on a very complex matter is bad enough if it only affected us.

UKIP finally got their way, after Cameron over-confidently used a referendum promise as a way to power.

Look at me, I'm all grown up! I understand how politics work.

I'm just having a little fun because the alternative is munching on my car's exhaust pipe.

RE: UK to leave EU
Politics is overrated.... economy is where the money is at.... always "follow the money"

The bank said it stood ready to provide £250 billion to support the functioning of markets. The regulator promised to provide substantial liquidity in foreign currency, if required.

“The Bank of England is monitoring developments closely,” said a statement released on Friday after the referendum results caused a 10 percent fall in the value of the pound and a slump in government bond yields to a new record low.

The global equity and currency markets plunged dramatically after Britain voted for leaving the European Union.

The Bank of England previously said that the decision to leave the EU, which takes almost half of UK exports, could cause a financial blow to the economy. It also warned Brexit could push up inflation due to the hit on the sterling, complicating any decision to cut interest rates.

Have fun with that.... how many hospitals could be built with all the billions that the UK was dumping on the EU every year?
http://www.shropshirestar.com/news/2016/...awczynski/
"One per week", apparently... or "£350 million" per week.... or £18 billion per year. Damn UK, how were you paying all this to the EU?!

Oh.... it's false propaganda.... oh.... oh.... Tell me again how much sense it makes to ask the people to decide on something for which they have little to no understanding....?

The insane war mongering and this obsessive display here? You really have issues, but do they actually have anything to do with the EU?

With EU out of the picture - I imagine the monarchy may be the next scapegoat, few years down the line, when it becomes clear to even the most hard-headed nationalists, that the fantastic prosperity promised by the "Leave" campaigners isn't going to happen.

Although I suspect the muslim minority will be the more likely target.
