@LasMa, the Leave camp decided that the EU ship is sinking. So they jumped off. This may or may not be the right decision but it does not mean, as you appear to suggest, that the Leaves are doomed to swim for the rest of their days. More likely, they will be incentivized to build a better ship.
I still think the working class is directing their anger incorrectly. People like to rail against immigrants, as if they are taking their jobs, and draining the budget. The welfare system as we know it, is such a minuscule portion of the budget. We should be angry at the amount of money spent on endless wars, etc, not welfare.
The middle class has disappeared in great part due to unions being decimated. I cannot for the life of me, understand why one would support a party that is so anti-union.
It is scary that we may facing this same shock with our elections. A certain candidate tweeted "Just arrived in Scotland. Place is going wild over the vote. They took their country back, just like we will take America back. " WTH??? Does he not realize Scotland voted to remain in the EU?
Lindsey Lohan’s surreal Twitter feed about Brexit
I can sleep well tonight knowing she cared enough to also give advice to the good people of the Shetland Islands. I-)
Sweden has had more immigrants per capital than any other country. They see an increase in rapes, car burnings, crime, abuse of women, etc. The British saw these problems. Who wants that?
This is correct. The central banks bailed out financial institutions and people who own financial assets. The majority of people needed fiscal stimulus and this did not happen.
This idea that to help the middle class, government sources should give to the upper class, doesn’t work. If the policy is to help the middle class, help the middle class directly. The middle class doesn’t need a middle man.
Leaders aren’t listening.
Lindsay Lohan may have single-handedly pushed a block of voters in the “leave” direction. 
I do find it somewhat interesting that political support for EU membership seems to have switched 180-degrees since the whole Greece debacle a year or so ago. At that time, progressives were mostly in favor of Greece exiting the EU.
Some people were in favor of Greece pulling out because of the harsh austerity programs enacted on the Greek people and because the bailout of Greece primarily went to financial institutions.
Good points! The reasons for leaving are different this time around.
Already some are calling for another Brexit referendum because 52% of British voters were too stupid to realize that the exit decision is bad.

This is rich.
I’m sure this won’t be the last region to ask for the money from Parliament they will lose from the EU.
"Cornwall asks for reassurance it won’t be £60m a year worse off after Brexit
Cornwall has received, on average £60m a year in EU funding over the last ten years.
Yesterday, Cornwall voted for Brexit, after being assured by Vote Leave that they would not find themselves worse off after Britain leaves the EU.
Today, they’ve asked for confirmation they were telling the truth.
John Pollard, Leader of Cornwall Council said:
Now that we know the UK will be leaving the EU we will be taking urgent steps to ensure that the UK Government protects Cornwall’s position in any negotiations.
We will be insisting that Cornwall receives investment equal to that provided by the EU programme which has averaged £60M per year over the last ten years."
And of course, this will probably be the first of many,
"Morgan Stanley looking to move 2,000 jobs out of London
Investment bank Morgan Stanley - whose offices we can see from the Mirror’s London newsroom - has announced it’s looking to move 2,000 jobs to either Dublin or Frankfurt, according to the BBC.
The US bank uses EU rules to allow them to offer financial services in all member states without having to have a base in each one.
If Britain isn’t a member state any more, their London base doesn’t help them any more.
The company’s president, Colm Kelleher, said this week that Brexit would be “the most consequential thing that w’eve ever seen since the war.”
@emilybee All this was predictable. The City will lose its status as a financial and business capital for Europe.
Does Britain not demonize investment banks and the 1% like many Americans do? Why all this concern for the future of investment banking in London? Ah! Maybe they do in fact help the economy.
One has to wonder where Morgan Stanley will go when the EU collapses entirely…
Morgan Stanley denies this rumor.

Google searches suggest many in UK didnt understand Brexit.

I thought I’d copy vonlost’s post # 20 here as it offers food for further thought…
"Note that this was a referendum without legal force; it means the British people currently want to leave the EU. Cameron will be replaced and they’ll form a new government which will try to negotiate an exit from Europe, a long and complicated process. They may succeed, or they may fail and get voted out and replaced by another pro-Europe government. In the process the Brits may change their minds as the catastrophe unfolds. It’s not a done deal. "
Wouldn’t it be SOMETHING if Parliament decides NOT to ratify the vote??
@Agincourt The finest small craft in the world is going to have a very rough time in the ocean of global trade. Sheer size matters now.
How about we extend NAFTA to include the UK?
So many of those trying to find a way around the Exit vote are the ones who pushed many Brits to vote for it in the first place.
So if a binding referendum produces the wrong result it is nullified because the voters could not possible have known what they were doing?
“Google searches suggest many in UK didnt understand Brexit.”
ya THINK??
reminds me of those who voted for DT .
I question if they understood the ramifications of their actions…
