To everyone who voted to leave the E.U.

Thanks for making it cheaper for me to visit N. Ireland but otherwise what a bunch racist, narrow-minded, gullible idiots.

Yes, the media has put forward the idea that everyone who voted to leave is a 'racist, narrow-minded, gullible idiot.'

Of course to believe that, you need to be a narrow-minded, gullible idiot.

How pompous to talk on behalf of 18 million people.

Different media are saying different things, I prefer to share my own opinion. Only time will tell but with the early looks of it, the result doesn't bode will for UK in general.

Will add misinformed to the list.

I've had to wait two weeks to start this thread.

I disagree, but I'm not calling all of the 18 million each word on the list, people voted for different reason and can, in time, decide themselves which box they belong in. You left out misinformed, my apologizes for leaving it out in the first post.

Still, all in all, I think time will show they have shot themselves in the rhetorical foot. We all know Scotland wants to stay in the EU, Ireland proper IS in the EU and now maybe Wales will join in the EU wishlist.

It might be the end of the UK, thereafter just K. It seems to have been a generational vote, youth wanting to stay in, elders, out. But the genie is out of the bottle now and is too big to stuff back in.

To say nothing of giving impetus to some of the other countries in trouble like Greece to bow out also, maybe starting a stampede where the EU is now Germany and France.

I hope I am wrong but it smells like that could happen.

In the short term, sure. But what will happen come 5 years from now?

I guess the UK or what's left of it won't go under but there will be repercussions against the UK, as much as the EU spouts off about no recriminations.

But as you said, it is an exercise in democracy. You have made your bed and now have to live in it. The dice has been rolled. The road is murky. The plane is flying through fog, and all sorts of other droll statements🙂
