I feel these demographics charts are very telling.

Since I'm firmly for remain, I'm hoping parliament abuses the fact that the referendum is not legally binding in any way.

Ah, the good ol' britbong "Let's ask the population what it wants and then massage the numbers to make it come out the way we want, or ignore it if the gap is too big to stretch."

--

This is one of the things I really despise about the left, the tendency to use those sorts of statistics to implicitly imply that people who disagree with us are inbred ignorant morons who shouldn't be allowed to vote to decide their own fate. Saw the same shit a lot back during the Dubya years, and it's honestly sickening. The name-calling is fine in jest, but when "hurr dey stupider than us" is used as a real argument for disenfranchising people it's time to step back and think for a while.

In related news, German collapse when? And will they break culturally or go fascist again?

The left generally bends over backwards to appease the right after losing an election.  Look at Obama after 2010 or Clinton after 1994.  Compare to Bush after 2006.

So, is UK balkanization possible? With Scotland leaving (they're going to leave UK, that's unquestionable), other UK states that voted Remain in this referendum might get the same idea... are there strong secessionist movements in Wales?

I don't see the EU in its current state holding together after this. If the EU crumbles, there'll be some massive political upheaval in Germany, but fascism is probably impossible. A Fourth Reich is out of the question unless there's some kind of immediate, existential threat, and even then, I think at this point Germany would just roll over and take it.

Define "strong". This unpronounceable nightmare is essentially a carbon copy of Glorious SNP but the natural low-information that comes with being born Welsh has inhibited their success. Such is the case when your literally sheeple sensate "voters" feel they must vote Laor in the same way they must breed endlessly, as an instinctual reaction to loud noises. I blame the sheep STDs, there's probably some extreme form of zoonotic neurosyphilis in there. Pls no bully dragon forumites, is only joke, y u hef to be mad?

And if you really want some humor...

Meanwhile, a good half of NI will literally kill to never be recognized as even a dependent country, much less an independent one.

I think what I'm most curious about in the immediate moment is if this means we're going to get to see a trillion pound note in our lifetimes. The overall global negative economic effect would almost be worth that. 

... well, not really almost, but it'd be some small consolation.

No, you will not.  This will create further deflationary pressure.  Goddamn it Fed, why did you have to hike rates way back 3 months ago?

Being non-brit I can't really be either, but considering recent politics over here I'd be surprised if they didn't pull that sort of crap anyway just because it didn't go the way they want, public be ignored.

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

Yeah, the collective guilt has been impressed pretty damn deep. Which is why my money is on collapse.

That's because the left generally starts with the faulty assumption that the opposition are sane and reasonable people who will accept a fair compromise.
