Lots of happy people in my working class World
I dont quite get this TBH, im not entirely up to speed on everything (not a brit)But wont this have rather large negative economic effects? and wont the working class be hit worst by that?
Part of me certainly would see the bright side of my country pulling out of the EU, but holy fk it would devestate the economy for the first decade.

Just think how stupid an average person is. Then think that half of them are even dumber.
That's why we don't have referendums on how to perform brain surgery, I've got no idea why we trust Paddy the benefit claimant who left school at the age of 16 with economy and politics.

What's to be unhappy about?
Unless your house is about to lose 50% of its value over the weekend. At least the first time buyers will have a chance to get into the market eh?
Even if house prices do drop, surely interest rates/mortgages are going to increase? Let alone tax and NI contributions ...Unless your house is about to lose 50% of its value over the weekend. At least the first time buyers will have a chance to get into the market eh?

I know somebody who proudly voted out "cos all these rich people are telling me to vote in". She accepts no responsibility for the fk-up that is her life and blames other people for everything, including 3 failed marriages.

Or is it your ex wife?
Ignoring whether this is a good or a bad move for the UK, there's something to say about a real democracy. I remember in the other thread that we're moving towards a system where eventually everybody could vote for everything.
That will inherently not work. Here's a couple of examples (and I feel sorry I actually have to make these):
That will inherently not work. Here's a couple of examples (and I feel sorry I actually have to make these):
- You can't have fewer taxes everywhere and then still expect cheap public transport or toll-free roads. However, make the people vote and of course they will select fewer taxes (despite knowing that'll bring up some budget deficit and will add a tax that they hope won't affect them but someone else)
- Minorities will always fail. "hey should we cut down on this benefit for disabled people?" how would that go down?
- There are other minorities> "Should we tax self-employed people more?" Of course! The baker on the corner just bought a new XF and my contractor has an E-class, they make way too much money, why should I care they work 80h/week?

I'm annoyed at the potential that many people voted Leave for the wrong reasons and not looking at the bigger picture; immigration and "taking back our country" seem to be popular reasons from what I've heard and seen.
People vote for the things that matter to them. Immigration worries a lot of people - liberals have ignored their concerns for too long.t400ble said:

So ? - why shouldn't that be acceptable if it's what they genuinely think [hint - it is a democracy......]. They were hardly going to listen to economists and politicians for whom they have little respect. Gassing Station | News, Politics & Economics | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
