Can David Cameron stop this so we can all pretend it didnt happen?

 

[Marty Chinn]

Mandatory or not, the common man is still going to be the largest voting group.

But being mandatory would increase the likelihood of an ignorant vote.

 

[AnathemicOne]

He's resigning from office because he lost his stupid fucked up gamble

 

[Fox Mulder]

Apparently hundreds/thousands of people were ringing the electoral office today to change their votes.

Just goes to show what a mess this whole thing was.

Haha.

They should lose their right to vote.

 

[Geist-]

Reap what you sow.

Might be having a repeat of this in MURICA.

That's definitely not going to happen, despite what some people like to think.

 

[Mercury Fred]

Impossible to feel bad for these voters.

Technically they can choose to ignore it as the referendum result was just advisory but that's very unlikely.

 

[Arkos]

I've made a huge mistake.gif

I'm sure this means there's no idiots or sheeple voting for remain right!

Exit: Uneducated fools
Remain: Educated superiors

Why do I get a feeling that a lot of these "stories" might not be entirely honest where they put their vote last night...

 

[RobotNinjaHornets]

This is what happens when you have a shitty voting system where most people's votes are irrelevant

I'm annoyed but not particularly surprised

Sad, but very true.

These people need to get roshamboed.

See ya in November!

"Didn't think my vote would count"...

Yet multiple times on the news... "each vote will be counted"

Some may have thought it's proportional... like regular elections. Here comes Boris!

 

[CelticKnight]

Another posted: “Urm I think I kinda regret my vote, I had no real reason to pick what I did!!”

So why pick it, you dumb cunt!?!

Jesus wept...

 

[Audioboxer]

If only they put that much thought into it beforehand.

"Didn't think my vote would count."

What a weird way to view it.

"I like playing with pencils and my friends were going to the polling station...."

 

[dejay]

How representative of the 17.4 million is this really though? There is literally no way of telling, unless you take an actual poll.

Two questions:

What did you vote?
What would you vote on a do-over?

Perhaps they should actually do this but I have a feeling it will be less than some people imagine.

Also, if the vote had gone the other way by a narrow margin, you'd probably see the same comments from the other side.

Actions have consequences. Too many times people don't have to face the consequences of what they do, now they have no choice and it's rightly or wrongly going to hit them like a ton of bricks.

It's those who voted responsibly that I feel pity for...

 

[Shadow Broker]

Britan should just do a "Are you sure?" Vote

Come on man. No one is even coming close to implying any of that. But if you look at the type of people congratulating the UK for making the decision it just made, the campaign Leave lead up to the voting, and the post-voting results of various studies done on the voter base of each respective side, and still think there isn't some amount of truth to the notion that voting for "leave" was entirely the wrong decision to make (or at the very least, a decision made for the wrong reasons), then I really don't know what to tell you.

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

Well, that's one way to shut up "my vote doesn't matter" types.

Of course, no one ever actually learns the lessons taught by this shit, so whatever.

 

[UnemployedVillain]

Its not just british people. Its happening in all of europe when people vote for right-wing parties which solutions would hurt the uneducated, who mostly vote for them, the hardest.

Some people are doing that with Trump. Just because. Until he wins, then we will have these "I regret my vote"

Some people really irk me.

Except we have this large, virtually endless, source of information to help people become better informed called the internet. If you choose to only listen to the few sources that conveniently seem to agree with you and ignore everything else you have no one to blame but yourself for your mind numbing, astounding, ignorance. Honestly, in this day and age it's inexcusable. The same with racism and other issues whose roots lie in easily corrected ignorance or lack of ample knowledge. I'm so fucking glad we have a representative democracy in the US to minimize/somewhat mitigate shit like this

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

JUST A PRANK BRO

Yep. That's about as dumb as it gets.

 

[dankir]

OMG the stupidity of some people........

 

[Maximus.]

Wow I hate that mentality. "My vote doesn't matter so I'm not going to vote or vote for whatever". Do what you think is right, don't throw away your privilege to vote for change!

 

[SilentRacoon]

Edit: Double post.

 

[stonesak]

I'm sure these are all true stories.

 

[Dash_Riprock]

I hope BernieOrBust people are paying close attention.

 

[SilentRacoon]

And here I was lead to believe only Americans would be able to pull a "Trump".

 

[Rebel Leader]

Apparently hundreds/thousands of people were ringing the electoral office today to change their votes.

Just goes to show what a mess this whole thing was.

Wow... just wow

 

[The Beard]

And some people say we should have mandatory voting in America.

The vast majority of people are ignorant morons.

 

[Acorn]

Fuck these cunts. Dumb as fuck voting for something you don't really want especially when it's a yes/no. I hope they regret it for the rest of their lives, damming our generation.

I'm broadly speaking pro-EU, however I've come to enjoy the Brexit as a means to an end of what I want (Irish reunification). Admittedly it's obviously not the goal of Brexit, but it appears there's a slim chance it might become a consequence, and I'll take any slim chance I can get when it comes to reunification.

I too want to congratulate the U.K for standing up to BS bureaucracy that the EU have indeed become. I can't tell you how many times I've face-palmed as I heard the crap laws that the EU enforces on their members, not to mention that it's flawed from the start as bigger members can bully smaller ones and enforce shit they don't want.

I'm sure these are all true stories.

The losers are looking for everything little thing to invalidate this referendum, thankfully it ends up looking sad and pathetic more than anything. Kicking and screaming indeed.

 

[entremet]

Wow... just wow

This is hilarious and sad at the same time.

BernieOrBuster's please take note.

 

[Darryl M R]

"It passed?"

 

[TheSaddestSort]

In all seriousness though, probably difficult times ahead for the UK. Talk about buyer's remorse.

 

[Audioboxer]

By the way what if these folk were just totally buying into the idea the MI5 change leave votes to remain?

In reality they are actually incredibly smart. Giving our MI5 some work. Clearly it was the MI5 that screwed up.

Dem throwaway protest votes. A dangerous game when the margins are thin.

 

[arevin01]

They voted for fun now they are fucked? Welp.

 

[RurouniZel]

It's all fun and games until you poke someone's eye out leave the EU.

 

[Hazanko]

It's this shit that angers me the most. I'd still be mad we lost but i'd understand if people voting leave knew the risks and had decent reasons to leave. What pisses me off is all the ignorant shit.

 

[shem935]

"It passed?"

This will never not be funny goddamnit.

 

[StrawberryJam]

What the fuck is wrong with these people?
