Anyways: "left" and "right" are very recent inventions. Most of recorded history there was no right and left. No it's not recent. Royalty and emperialism was considered as conservative and right parties. Populism has been considered as left. Then it shifted when socialism and communism appeared Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 ) France says hello Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luc 4,776 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Also a sad day for democracy. This is a snapshot of views, and should not have influence! The one day leave has a majority, the next day democracy. It's down to luck what the winner is on the day of the referendum itself. How is this democracy? Even in a direct democracy, decisions alike cannot be made in only one day. Perhaps if they voted now, they would vote to stay. How is that democracy? How can such a small majority be enough for a decision so important? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bionic 50,111 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Just saw on the BBC website that Wales has overall voted to Leave. Scotland (unsurprisingly) have overall voted Remain. Northern Ireland are just underneath overall Remain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a nuisance for flights across the continent. The hosting of the euros probably hasn't been the greatest either I know that's not relevant to whether or not a country is progressive, but I'm not a fan of patriotism in general...
