Fri Jun 24, 2016, 12:50 PMehrnst (3,548 posts)Why a Brexit is unlikely to happen even if the public votes for itPerhaps a ray of hope?QuoteBusiness 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."http://www.businessinsider.com/eu-referendum-interview-peter-catterall-on-eu-brexit-2016-6?r=UK&IR=T

Does anyone know how Lord Marblehead is holding up?
I wonder what this sad person's daily life must be like. No wonder liberals are all on head meds.
Somehow, someway, this MUST be the fault of BFEE.

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?

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.

What an idiot that guy is. On another thread, http://www.democraticunderground.com/10027952116someone posted a pic of Trump wearing a hat that says "Make me Great Again." So the scholar saysNitwit. And speaking of stupid people, this is how one DUmmie thinks the stock market works:Just who is this mysterious some one [sic] else?
