Comments on: The Leave Campaign Has A Surprise Coming https://whynow.dumka.us/2016/06/28/the-leave-campaign-has-a-surprise-coming/ On-line Opinion Magazine...OK, it's a blog Fri, 01 Jul 2016 02:46:45 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.3 By: Bryan https://whynow.dumka.us/2016/06/28/the-leave-campaign-has-a-surprise-coming/comment-page-1/#comment-82388 Fri, 01 Jul 2016 02:46:45 +0000 http://whynow.dumka.us/?p=37158#comment-82388 Trump-Lite didn’t reallybelieve that there were enough people in Britain who would believe his bullshit, but he believed that his “friends” would actually back him as a leader. Labour is screwed up, but not as bad as the Tories.

It will probably be the Greens or the Pirates who form the next English Parliament, after Scotland leaves.

And he’s probably breathing a sigh of relief right now, LOL.

Yes, Boris is pretty much fscked right now. He’d never planned on winning. Now that he’s won, now what? LOL.

The consensus would seem to be that more people than expected decided to cast “protest votes” against Cameron and austerity rather than against the EU, because it was the only vote scheduled, not because they really had anything against the EU. It is highly unlikely that many of the voters really knew what the EU really was or what it did. People are not happy and government isn’t fixing anything, so throw the bums out. I’m still trying to figure out what Corbyn did to deserve all of the grief.

You know most humans have the survival instincts of lemmings, and are capable of less rational thought than a dog. There are exceptions to *the rule* of course, but nowhere near enough to make a difference. I think it’s evolutionary payback. Mom Nature is not amused! 😉

This is FUBAR. No one thought this through. The EU just made it clear that there won’t be a single market without freedom of movement, and Brexit was about stopping freedom of movement. Once again people forgot to engage their brains before casting their ballots.

I elected to get a UK passport because I would require more visa’s to travel around Europe on an EU passport than on a UK passport (no, I’m not kidding!) Also, I’d be eligible for the UK NHS (National Health Service) and even a UK Pension (if I decided to live/work there). As far as I could see, there was little to no advantage to an EU passport.

Glad now that I decided on a UK passport! 😀
