Yep, about 52% of the electorate.
Doesn't mean they did it for shits n giggles though. Some people are pissed off with mass immigration, EU meddling and the way it's quickly heading into a Federal state.
Part of this feeling may have been fuelled by the rapid rise of Liberal Authoritarianism in the UK. |
Anyone with a fucking brain cell, or who has travelled anywhere in mainland Europe, would know that many of the stupid motoring, smoking, selling, immigration, etc. laws we have in the UK, although driven by the EU, have been modified to be far more intrusive by the UK courts.
There are covered smoking areas outside cafes, bars and restaurants in Spain, France and Italy. You don't have to buy cigarettes in plain packaging from behind closed cupboard doors, making you feel like you're buying animal porn or something, like you do in the UK.
Italy, among others, have a points system for immigration - no job/savings = no entry.
You can ride mopeds as kids. Helmets? If you like. Motorcyclists are not scum. Everybody has been one at some point.
The shops shut for a couple of hours in the afternoon (sometimes) but you can still buy food after 4pm on a Sunday. What a novel idea.
I could go on but I'm boring myself now.
Suffice to say, there are plenty of valid reasons to leave the EU but the 'fact' that they impose laws and immigration upon us is not one of them. If anything they serve to temper the idiots we have at the top. ____________________ Greetings from Shitsville! |

And the benefit of Brexit is? |
It was Cameron underestimating that electorate that lead to the referendum, no way would he have called one if he thought there was a chance of losing, and no way would anyone with any morals or a shred of integrity have called one in the first place. It's what makes the whole thing hilarious
The benefit of Brexit is sitting back and watching the widespread butthurt They'll only be hell to pay if certain people get their wish and Brexit negotiations are (deliberately) sabotaged. Otherwise there's too much at stake on both sides for it to fall apart.

Another point also worth noting is that a lot of the left wing Brexit arguments are remarkably similar to the right wing arguments. |
Absolutely, but that's always been the case. If you feel disillusioned with (for example) the current government you're going to vote for someone else, just as if you don't see any benefit from us being in the 'European family' you're going to vote oot.
The Brexit campaign was all the same arguments with both sides claiming each issue was a benefit or hindrance to the UK. I doubt any undecided voters were able to make an informed choice, but then I'm fairly certain most people had a preference well before campaigning started. |

Probably because they saw it as an issue that has long been coming to be resolved, people didn't all of a sudden decide to vote to leave the EU in the final 6 weeks of the 'vote leave' campaign ____________________ '00 Aprilia RS50 > '92 Honda CG > '99 Yamaha Fazer > '91 Yamaha RXS > '79 Suzuki X5 > 01' Honda Cg > 07' Honda Cg > 82' Kawasaki Z200 > suzuki gsxr 400 gk73a > honda vfr 400 NC30> Yamaha RD350 YPVS F2 > Kawasaki ZZR 600 D1 > Yamaha TZR 250 2MA >Suzuki TL1000R > Yamaha TDR250 > Honda 929 blade > Suzuki SV1000 > Honda H100

Ours has 3 whole aisles for world food. Eastern european, Asian and American/Mexican.
However a lot of the food is the same as other aisles, just local packaging as in Basmati rice from some Indian company is in the Asian aisle while Asda Basmati rice is in the rice aisle and half the price.
Interesting yes? ____________________ Triumph Trophy Launch Edition |

Very good point.
So I guess a lot of Brexit really was a protest vote. People sick of the way their shit Tory overlords and the previous Red Tory Blair brigade had run the show over the past couple of generations - the slow creep of corporatism thanks to incremental deregulation and ultra laissez faire governance, and the slow change of the face of British society thanks to utterly careless immigration controls which smashed our own working classes to bits (and blew up a couple of busses and tube trains) - all down to our own leadership.
Voting to leave the EU was a good, hard boot up the arse of the establishment. Certainly had the desired effect. Tories are in chaos - instead of just sitting there in their perceived rightful place at the top of the social pecking order, hoovering up taxes and paying mere lip service to public needs, they actually have to manage something for once.

Why what? |
As above.
It's trivial to trot out raw numbers, but the context might matter.
You can imagine that it's 600,000 units of cosy social housing just begging for nurses and teachers to move into them.
But who or what is stopping that from happening?
How many are derelict, and whose money are you volunteering to be spent on fixing them?
How many have been rendered de facto but not de jure fit for habitation by a change in the standards du jour?
How many have been rendered genuinely uninhabitable by an infestation of Socialist Housing tenants? Will you be cleaning up the needles and faecal decoration?
How many are privately owned and therefore it's nobody else's damn business why they are empty? I know Comrade Corbyn would seize them and redistribute them to his acolytes, but let's pretend for a second that property rights still exist.
When people die, how long does it take for estates to be settled and properties to be sold? Are you advocating turfing families out while the dead deed holder is still warm, and moving in a swarm of illegal criminals?
It sounds like you're in favour of that. I'll go ahead and assume you are, in much the same way that you assume that all 600,000[citation needed] of those homes are actually available.
