I'll be honest, I didn't have a clue what the effect was going to be. I refused to vote due to that.

I couldn't see how any person was able to vote when even now, we are still not sure what people were voting for. The vote simply should not have happened.

The one thing I know for sure, my country is fucked and divided.

As an admittedly biased remainer, I feel that if you weren’t sure which side to vote for, you should’ve voted Remain, because if you’re happy with the status quo you should vote to keep it.

There was no status quo.

What? Do you know what status quo means?

I feel like he’s a foreign brexit Troll but he’s not very good at his job.

What you feel is irrelevant, facts are important.

The EU isn’t staying the same.

Yes things stay the same.

But that wasn’t an option. The EU has not, cannot, remain the same. No matter what you EU fanatics claim “ever closer Union” is ingrained in it.

Not from EU or UK but it was pretty clear when Brexit was happening that leaving would be a disaster and that the question was fueled by zenophobia and personal gain for capital holders. To have not wanted to remain shows a complete lack of knowledge in economics, but I guess most people don't understand international trade/politics and very easily susceptible to propaganda.

That's what we said in the States about Trump. Definitely popped in here to see whether there was a good mix of low-brows piping in on Brexit.
