    You realize that Parliament can tell the populace to shove off and vote to stay, right? A referendum is just a straw poll to get an idea of public opinion.




    Not if they want to get re-elected.

    52% Leave, 48% Stay. There won't be a recount.

    A straw poll is a sampling of opinions.

    Didn't the entire UK just go to the voting booth or am I missing something?

    Not a straw poll. It's an actual vote. Parliament ignores the will of the people at its own risk.

    The reasons don't really matter.

    72% of the voting population is a hell of a lot more than a straw poll..... parliament does not dare go against this vote. Cheers, RickO

    It seems two events experienced results different from conventional thinking this week:

    1. The Cleveland Cavaliers won game 7 (on the road) and took home the NBA championship and . . . .

    2. The Brits actually voted to exit from the EU.

    Makes for a memorable week!

    The EU is a joke anyways
  • AUandAGAUandAG Posts: 24,762 ✭✭✭✭✭
    My history remembrance should be confirmed but as I recall from the 8th grade, that the EU was

    formed after WWII by 5 or 6 countries to protect their borders. I was in the 8th grade in 1958 so

    my memory may have faded a bit.



    So, it was not a joke but did become one as I see it.

    Always good to see democracy at work and the will of the people being heard. This despite the future results, whatever they may be, from this vote. It's why we are given the right to vote.

    Referendum is non binding. It is an official poll to collect public opinion. What the members of Parliament now do with the results remains to be seen. Look for the globalists to turn things upside down in order to convince Parliament that leaving the EU is the end of the world.

    The EU is an experiment, and a major effort for a one world/one currency. Th's EU decides the economic fate of its member nations through appointed, not elected, officials. Control a nation's economy and you control that nation. The Brits were learning this as did the Greeks. It is about as far from democracy as one can get.

    This is the reality of the EU.... and the intent of globalization....Control.... by the few over the many..... It is not freedom...it is the path to tyranny. Cheers, RickO

    For all practical purposes, the UK will leave the EU regardless of how folks view the "referendum" and its legal ramifications. To NOT leave would send signals throughout the World that the British Government can not be trusted.



    Once Parliament invokes Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty, the process begins and they will have 2 years to formally leave.



    They either leave or face international embarrassment.

    On the other hand, two years plus gives a lot of room for negotiating the specifics of the "leaving."



    Two years plus is a lot of time in the world of globalization, monetary policy and finance, not to mention geopolitics. We might see lots of movement among other EU members as well in that time-frame. The EU composition may well have evolved into something more representational and sensitive to people's aspirations by then. A great deal depends on the leadership that comes to the fore throughout the region, a great unknown.



    We live in interesting times.

    That's what everyone says, every year.



    What's nice is, in hindsight, these, too, will seem like "the good old days" in 40 or 50 years from now,

    and by that time, things will be "interesting" in different ways.

    What remains to be seen is the punishment from the EU for voting against them. The Greeks saw it first hand.
