10. I think people just "want Brexit done", even though the consequences

will mean it will go on for years. Be careful what you wish for, because they have do all the trade deals with an incredibly weak hand. Trump is going to pick them apart.

Corbyn to resign tomorrow surely.

26. Just devastating for the UK. Wasn't the Labour party going to have a second referendum on Brexit?
My understanding of Brexit is limited to the 3 episodes of Last Week Tonight, that covered them and the fact that Russia has had a hand in it.

The brilliance of DU.

61. The only upside will be if Corbyn resigns.

I believe that Brexit is going to screw Great Britain bigtime. They begged their way into the EU in the early seventies, became prosperous once again from that association, then decided that they didn't need the EU. Well it is back to pre-EU days for them, I was still in my teens, but I remember reading in Newsweek and Time about how poor the UK was doing compared to Germany, led by Willy Brant.

early 70s?

8. If this is correct, Scotland will leave the UK.

55 seats for the SNP is a “**** you, we’re leaving” to England.

38. This tells me Dems might lose with a far left candidate like Bernie.

It does not bode well for the US fixing our right-wing problem.

43. This X 1000. Trump cannot label Biden a socialist. Corbyn was out of the mainstream in England.

Our Democratic Party and Democratic voters must learn from this.

55. Only if we nominate Bernie or Liz If we nominate Biden, Klobuchar, or even Buttigieg.... Trump will lose.

64. Biden isn't going to win when endless ads talk about how corrupt he is related to Ukraine. Biden will end up just like Hillary.

62. I'm ready to give up.

It seems like the majority of the world wants to live under authoritarianism. Right-wing fascists keep winning all over the place.

92. this should serve as a warning...........

That drumpf can win here, and do so easily.

I'm posting this to MYSELF more than anyone else.

I'm just blown away that after.................

The Brexit campaign was revealed to be backed by Cambridge Analytical and Russian trolls

The public was educated that they, frankly, did not even know what Brexit was when they voted for it.

It has been shown over and over again that Brexit is going to destroy the UK's economy.

Boris Johnson is a laughing stock over there.

They STILL went Tory... and overwhelmingly!!!!!!!!

The Bernie brats, the jackpiners, the other malcontents and miscreants in the Democrat party would do well to pay attention to this.

How many Dem candidates have cozied up to the Dems' Joooo-hating wing? Would the "Who has not?" list be shorter? Jewish people are a very small percentage of US voters, but a very large percentage of US voters find antisemitism disgustingly repugnant.

Wow... somehow the general public openly rejecting leftist style central planning is caving to Russian influence? this is bubble living of the highest order.
