Why a Brexit is unlikely to happen even if the public votes for it
Perhaps a ray of hope?
Business Insider last week explained why the UK government doesn't have to pull the country out of the European Union even if the public votes for a so-called Brexit on Thursday.
That is because the result of the coming referendum on EU membership is not legally binding.
On Monday, Peter Catterall of the University of Westminster spoke with Business Insider to shed more light on why Brexiteers would inevitably be very disappointed by what would follow a Leave victory in the referendum.
"I think that most Leave voters expect to wake up on the 24th no longer in the EU if there is a Brexit vote," Catterall told Business Insider. "Well, they’re going to be in for a shock."

1. 52% of the nation voted for it
Care to imagine what happens to the political party that defies the will of 52% of the nation?
Then a new to me DUmbass over the last couple of days chimes in.

6. If people vote against their own interests, then their votes should be ignored

"Shandris, why do you keep saying that there are far too many authoritarians in the """""liberal""""" party?"
I can't imagine.
Leftism is authoritarianism.

Dear Scuzzy one, please come over here and explain how you know what people's own best interests are?
If you have such unfailing knowledge of other people's interest, why ever hold a vote at all?
Does anyone know how Lord Marblehead is holding up?

1. So the ACLU puts rights above safety
That's sad of them.

I wonder what this sad person's daily life must be like. No wonder liberals are all on head meds.

I'm only guessing, but he's probably not holding up very well.
Like the primitives who wish nothing but bad for America, Lord Marblehead too probably wishes his native land be crushed and absorbed by hostile "un"-British elements, in repentence for all its gross sins of colonialism, imperialism, and daring to carry the white man's burden (although eventually dropping it).

Should the UK withdraw from the EU?
*Votes are cast; 'yea' votes are excluded.*
The nays have it! Hooray for the first unanimous mass vote! :p

25. Wow, what an incredibly scary example of authoritarian thinking. Is this guy for real?
What other situations call for the government to "correct" democratic "mistakes"?
People need a dictator to be protected from themselves? This guy can't be real, can he?

28. The role of a government is to conform to the will of its citizens. Govt of, by, and for the people.
**** anything remotely resembling the type of country you envision.

35. Unless you always abide by the majority, that will is subject to interpretation.
In this case, with the U.K.'s economy in a tailspin, I think what's best for them is to explain that the vote to secede was a mistake and the government should do what's best for its people.

Earning money.
IF we get it back, we still have lost the earnings over that period that our accounts are down.
Just who is this mysterious some one [sic] else?

My liberal FIL was over yesterday. Him and his sinuey wife want to open a gym. They both have terrible credit and plan to do this in a saturated market. His concept of money is walking into the bank and them just handing out cash cause "they're going to give it to whoever asks" he was floored by a real estate deal I'm working on cause it's supposed to be cash only.
