I REALLY hope we don't see this in November in the U.S. with Trump.

Unfortunately if anyone is gonna vote trump for the lulz it will be the young democratic base only. The group we need to elect Clinton.

Denmark. It wasn't until the 1960's that we had any sort of tangible immigration for low skilled labor.

Denmark joined the EU in 1973. Immigration "rapidly expanded" starting from the early 1960's. Hardly the EU's fault.

Amazingly we aren't this dumb. Electoral college ensures a Hillary win even if we attempt to screw it up.

And people wonder why the EC still exists.

The Founders had a point. Direct democracy isn't always the way to go. Sometimes the masses need to be protected from themselves.

I looked and is the telegraph a good source?

In this case? sadly, no

The Telegaph is a pretty shit source

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

The coward jumped ship after he sunk it by giving into the Brexit clowns. Wonder if Northern Ireland and Scotland will bail out next.

Though it's nice to know that Cameron will be seen as one of the worst Prime Ministers the UK ever had and unfortunately it happened in my lifetime.

Not sure how the EC is the only or best way to do a representative democracy.

Idiots, of course their vote mattered as that was the whole point of voting and because of their stupidity they may have fucked the country over and could make it harder for people in Europe to get a job in the UK.

First time I've really been happy that we use the Electoral College.

[parrotbeak]

I assumed they would regret it in a couple of years, but the day after? LOL. Well it will be a very long process and Britain hasn't started the official process yet so it doesn't have to happen. They have to elect leaders who will stop the process.

 

[PSqueak]

Impossible to feel bad for these voters.

i kinda feel bad for this one:

One said: “I personally voted leave believing these lies and I regret it more than anything, I feel genuinely robbed of my vote.”

Caught by the propaganda machine, it can be hard to escape propaganda.

 

[jm89]

You know what we should do make everyone do some basic test to see if they understand what the fuck they are voting for and based on that allow them to vote.

Obviously not feasible but damn it would reduce the stupidity we are seeing from some people who voted leave.

 

[Cromat]

I personally know of two such idiots. One said he was doing it to "scare the establishment"...

 

[grandjedi6]

Is there an actual source for this?

It sounds like one of those Einstein quotes that the internet has concocted.

I looked and is the telegraph a good source?

That Churchill quote is fake and misattributed to him. It originates from the early early 90s internet, which is why you see so many publications quote it to true (because even reporters google everything).

Of course that just makes the saying even better because people will repeat it to mock uninformed voters, only to out themselves as being uninformed too!

Good God this whole thing is a massive face palm.

I can't wait for the shitstorm when we vote Trump in November.

Reminds me of a certain group here in the states, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

"Did it for the lols" generation

 

[Rebel Leader]

Yeah no. They have enough minority vote that will cancel out the clinically retarded.

After this? I'm not betting on anything

Lest we not forget the same people voted a ship to be named "Boaty McBoatface".

Mission successful I'd say!

 

[finley83]

I've tried really hard but just can't feel any sympathy for these people whatsoever.

Fuck each and every one of them.

I must have missed the part where naming a ship something silly would have crippled the global economy.

I don't think they care about that and that's where our problems lie.

Republicans use Voter ID, it seems to be effective

 

[stonesak]

 

[xDUMPWEEDx]

But many voters have since spoken out saying they are shocked at the poll's outcome and did not believe their Leave votes would actually count.

One voter, named only as Adam from Manchester, told the BBC: “I didn’t think that was going to happen.

“My vote – I didn’t think was going to matter too much because I thought we were just going to remain.

 

[iceatcs]

Look at UK age pyramid. It doesn't look good for future.

Old people won't change the mind, and the age population will be still the same for a while.

Can't jump off a cliff and then say, "I don't wanna jump off this cliff now". Too late.

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

The referendum isn't legally binding, so technically yes.

he did say democracy is the worst form of government (or at least quoted someone else saying it) but yes... this particular quote is near impossible to source

That must be why Romney is president.

 

[17 Seconds]

i'm an idiot who doesn't know much about brexit. somebody please explain to me why they voted that way if they immediately regretted it.

 

[sunshine and gasoline]

Was angered for the first time in quite some time when I heard of these regretful voters earlier this morning.

 

[Syder]

Holy shit, that's amazing. Putting power tools near your face/head, what could go wrong?

Serious question: can the UK ever re-enter the EU at some point down the road?

Secretly act like a twat at the ballot box, then announce how much of a twat you are on television.


So much Twattery.

2008: 10 million difference

*more voter Id laws pop up*

2012: 6 million difference

Yes but we'd almost certainly have to drop the Pound and use the Euro.
