[shyan]

If I were to summarize the biggest trend in UK/US politics right now it would be “I’m sick of listening to experts.”

[bels]

At least this time we'll know who to blame for the recession.

our new PM will be chosen by 150,000 tory party members... take back control!

[rublev]

proud of scotland but shocking turnout in places like glasgow (56%)

majority of england... into the sea

[rublev]

what a vile cretin of a man

[bels]

if Scotland leaves the UK does that mean right wing rule forever?

[rublev]

maybe depends on what happens to labour... JC seems entirely unelectable and huge labour areas voted leave. would be interested to see if they were the areas labour struggled in through last election and local elections (probably are)... whatever happens you could probably have right wing rule forever if it only needs 36% of the vote

feel like there are only so many times scotland will want to try to bail out shitty decision by the rest of the country only for them to get hit too. no idea how this makes me feel about independence. maybe we can get a Scotland + London + NI thing going on.... high speed rail to the border?

[rublev]

le pen changes her twitter picture to the union jack

also , BBC news journo saying they've met lots of people like this in manchester, who voted leave and then woke up saying "oh no, hmm, maybe that was a mistake... didn't think we'd leave?"

BREAKING NEWS

sturgeon: "an independence referendum is now highly likely"

so we're out the EU, market collapses, PM resigns and now UK looks like it will break up (before lunch)

the expectations raised by leave will never be met... this is a DISASTER

Fucking christ

[rublev]

can't believe people assumed Leave telling them 'yeah, sure, you won't be worse off...' wouldn't be spin

similar to what is happening in wales - they get massive amounts of EU cash for regeneration etc, but they voted to leave and are now wanting to make sure they get similar amounts. the whole thing has been bizarre.

from a women who clearly had no idea what was going on

[bels]

Should we start EUKIP now. Populist demagogue party willing to say anything to anyone to appeal to the people and convince them that their only salvation is joining the EU.
