In the history of the world, moves to the right generally don't go well. It usually ends up in war, or crusades, or inquisition, or Nazis, theocracies, or a cold war that almost killed us all, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well this doesn't exactly have a precedent either. Edited just now by LebaneseDude. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only one more Scottish Borough Almost everyone outside London are voting Leave Birmingham and remaining London boroughs are their only hope imo. In my messy era.

It's a spectrum of attitudes towards current policies. The fight between tradition and progress has raged on throughout the millenia. ---- In this case the "tradition" is nationalism and tribalism.

Luc 4,776 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Sad, sad day for Europe. On the bright side, the EU can finally have some left wing policy. I hope with all of my heart that the regulation in the UK to be able to trade with the EU will grow even though they leave. I hope the UK will be caught in a recession. I hope Scotland will vote for independence. I hope the trade deal will be significantly more to the benefit of the EU than the UK. Don't give eurosceptics in the rest of Europe ammunition. If the netherlands ever leaves, I'll probably move to Germany, the only progressive country left (but no gay marriage ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's worked so well for North Korea. I'm so much of an idealist that I actually hope someday this world is like the song "Imagine" by John Lennon. No countries, no borders. That's probably a million years away though. :P And after tonight it might be a million and fifty years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
