So no Brexit, it seems. Let’s hope somebody learns something from it and starts addressing the issues that caused it.
No, I don’t believe it either.

Believe that BREXIT failed or believe that somebody learns from it and the issues that caused it?
I had some trouble believing Britain even wanted to join the EU in the first place, but then again, I was a teen so my economic analysis wasn’t that deep.

That somebody learned something. I’m afraid tomorrow will be business as usual.

“Brexit fails” — no surprise at all. In modern times, secessionist movements repeatedly fail almost everywhere (Canada, Scotland, Spain, Puerto Rico, you name the location).
It always appears that the vote to secede will win, because all the emotion and loud screaming is on the “Let’s leave and be independent!” side, but in the voting booth common sense wins out over silly emotion. (Yes, I have more faith in the human race than you do.)

I was against Brexit for the longest time but then talked to some UK colleagues and wasn’t so sure any more.

Worst possible result would be like Austra – a paper thin victory for the status quo that is then treated as a mandate to continue the policies that brought about the discontent to begin with.

Exactly. Business as usual will be an enormous mistake. There is very real unhappiness brewing, and dismissing it as neo-nazi inspired is idiotic.

The parties that the mainstream press and European PTB are freaking out about are not neo-nazi or even necessarily really far right – those parties are the ones that will appear if the EU continues its drive for technocratic anti-democratic rule.

Second worst result – Leave wins and the government goes above the people’s heads to parliament to stay.
One likely result of a leave victory would be early elections with both main parties making ‘stay’ a plank of their platform – meaning that the party that won will say their victory invalidates the brexit vote….

Our MP for North Somerset told Cameron flatly that he expected the government to abide by the results of the referendum …
Given his background, it would be somewhat like the US Speaker of the House within the same party as the President giving the President a bollocking in full view of the public.
Cameron was doomed anyway, and I’m grateful to see Boris rise in his place.
[was pro-Leave all along, BTW, because of insane Euroregulations, among other things …]
