If I repeat it enough we'll abandon the Brexit and JC will stop pissing holy water.

A portrait of one but a family I know have just come back from a tour of Italy for 10 days. They said it was bizarre, they were treated like kings and having drinks bought for them for Britain leaving the eu. Saying everyone was saying we love the uk because you've had the balls to do what we haven't, we hope to do it now, we hate the eu. This happened all over Italy apparently. He said we didn't even mention what we voted for!

Feel free to pick this apart.

It's teetering on the edge of the logpile chasm as it is

The whole EU Referendum is a debacle and should be log-piled.

I believe that's the official Lib Dem line...

Hard for me to do - an Italian tattoo artist I know, has just moved over here and she said pretty much the same thing. Was totally confused as to why we all voted stay.

It might be something to do with the fact that Italy is fucked financially so defaulting on their debt/leaving the EU is clearly a pretty attractive option to a lot of people. Just a guess.

An option which would hammer us whether we were in or out btw. Bank exposure etc blah blah blah facts.

Well, this is heartening:
"As for media reports of “Bregret” – leave voters who now regret their choice – Kahneman has argued that most won’t regret their decision, because regret is rare. Instead, people find ways to explain what is happening around them that lay the blame with someone else."

[a dense loner]

Who are these people? I know a lot of leave voters yet I don't know one who regrets voting leave! You send a link to a trail of 500 people omm, do you need me to send you a link to a trial of 33 million?

[slackline]

do you need me to send you a link to a trial of 33 million?

Because the result of the referendum wasn't/isn't legally binding a 'trial'* is exactly what it has amounted to.

There are good reasons why you don't need to sample the whole population in order to gauge the opinions, all to do with sampling theory, but thats probably of little interest and way 


* or 'very expensive opinion poll'

[petejh]

Hi, just a weekly post to say I voted leave for reasons to do with self-governance and a more global outlook, in the optimistic belief that in the long term being outside the EU will prove to be good fr the UK; rather than for reasons to do with xenophobia and cutting ourselves off.


Carry on.

Do all the people who vote remain really think that the government won't do what they've been told/asked to do? All I've read is I don't like the result so... "it's not legally binding" "article 50 won't get invoked" "the longer we leave it the less likely it is that we'll invoke article 50" "the chilcott enquiry's out this week" "idiot racists" "corbyns shit" "corbyns amazing" as someone peering into another world here I must say it looks very bizarre and deluded.

[slackline]

Because the elected government have a history of always doing what they say in their manifestos don't they? 

There is only one instance of a country leaving the EU, Greenland, so there is no real template/example/framework on which to base expectations of how things are going to pan out.  Its all incredibly uncertain, because after all we don't have crystal balls that allow us to see what happens in the future.  Had the referendum been set up in such a manner that it was legally binding then there would be considerably less uncertainty.

What have they been told/asked to do? Are we going to look more like Norway, or Albania,  or I dunno, Japan? I'd obviously prefer the Norway model, but I'm worried they'll do more than they've been told...
