As for the people who found them useful - that is, the Bullingdon gang of Johnson, Mogg and the like - they're not Nazi, but they very much are racist (and no, I'm not going to dredge up the quotes again), very much neo-con extreme-capitalist right wing, and very much taking advantage of you.

-Removed-Quite. I love how you prove yourself wrong, here.
To begin with, it was quite explicitly a consultative vote. Nobody was ever under the impression that their votes would force the government to do anything. Referenda don't work that way in the Netherlands, unlike in Switzerland or England.
More importantly, though, is that this was never about "leaving" the EU. It was about approving the new European Constitution, not about ditching the old one with the bath water.
Nobody in the entire Netherlands voted for a Netherexit that day. Not a single person. Because that was not what this was about. This referendum did not ask "Shall we leave the EU?" - it asked "Do we prefer the new or the old EU?"
Now, I admit that I do not like the way our government handled that whole procedure. Nevertheless, neither I nor any other Dutchman voted to leave the EU that day.
-Removed-So you don’t support the Polish and Hungarian regimes in their dispute with Brussels then? Because you seemed to be portraying them as plucky patriots up against the monstrosity that is the EU, when the reality is these regimes are homophobic and xenophobic, and are attempting to dismantle the democratic nature of their respective states.
Hahaha a Brexiteer calling someone else a populist, comedy gold.
People are right about you then you are a very slippery character.
