I woke up at 5am, checked BBC website then started howling profanities until a neighbour started banging on my wall.
At least we don’t need a war to ruin our country, we can do it all by ourselves in true British style.
I remember that morning vividly because it was my first ever vote and I was devastated. I voted remain, and my parents voted leave. I was so angry with them that I called them all sorts of names and stormed out the house, only to return within an hour because the weather wasn’t great and I had no money/nothing to do.
The day I first arrived in Europe (with a UK passport). So bloody sad
On an ADVISORY farken referendum.
Even if it came back with 100% voter turnout and 99% voted “Lets fuck this shit up and give Farage the keys to Nr10 and Buckingham Palace” there was no expectation of doing any of that.
Yet here we are, thousands of people lost their EU citizenship, families will lose their homes and businesses tanked.
And look at the wonderful days that followe- what do you mean a crippling economic crisis?
I truly didn’t think there was a chance of vote leave winning 🤣. I know better now, and am just waiting for PM Farage to finish the job of completely fucking us.
There was a tracker that recorded on the pros and cons that happened with brexit. Is this still live? I can’t find it anywhere. It was very much more cons the last time I checked.
This is one disaster that the English can’t blame the French for.
I feel like what’s going on in the US is the US’s version of brexit.
And hundreds of thousands og British citizens temporarily living in the EU didn’t get to vote. Enough people who could have made up that 4%. While students resident in the UK for a short stay with no claim to citizenship or permanent residence got to vote.
It wasn’t democracy, it was a lie and a shambles.
I met the love of my life in 2016, but other than that it was a very shitty year for the world.
And there are still a shocking amount who still support Brexit. The brainwashing did a good job.
Sad.
I remember when people found out Russia gave UKIP millions for their campaign and then nothing happened.
Champagne corks popped in Moscow, Washington and Beijing.
If I’m not mistaking, it was also on that day that Farage aknowledge during live TV interview that UK won’t get the 300 millions pounds EU “cost” to build hospital every month because, according to his words, “things are more complicated than that”.
Now the same Farage is still running as candidat and is widely popular and that piss me off
You forgot to mention that over 30% of the people didn’t even bother to vote. That actually can’t happen in other democracies, there it would require over 50% of all the people that are of voting age.Â
And to think that Marine Lepen and other french politicians are trying to do the same to French people… I hate it so much.
You’re welcome to join us again. And this time it wold be nice if you didn’t leave every time extremists pretends to be an operator and not a human being.
My dad back then commented on it, he said that UK will need at least 10 years to turn leaving EU into any kind of net positive and that it won’t happen because seldom any political party sees or plans beyond next election.
I guess he was right and also with 50-50 vote it couldn’t have been any different. If majority of people really wanted to leave and they would huddle up to pull in next 8-10y ears to make something good ouf of it, maybe it would be good idea, but 52-48 aint gonna make it.
Ah yes. Was my prom day, but I stayed up all night to watch the results. I remember being so angry at the Remain side. I saw so much campaigning from the Brexit side in my town, however none whatsoever from the Remainers. They got too cocky imo.
Thanks farage 👎
On a positive note, the failure of Brexit put and to all the other exit movements. No one is seriously talking about Frexits and Nexits and whatever anymore, not even the populists or the far right.
Hot take: referendums are a horrible way of making these kinds of decisions, because the vast majority of people who participate in them don’t have anything even remotely resembling a complete understanding of the issues at question and what their implications are projected to be. In my opinion, national citizens assemblies are pretty much always better than referendums. Because those can be controlled to ensure that everyone is fully informed before they vote.
