    Today is the day of the British referendum about leaving the EU. Will it be the Independence Day or do the Britons prefer to stay a colony of Brussels?

    The polls were pretty much tied at 50% for each option and the political establishment is trying to beat a yes for the EU out of their poor citizens.

    Btw, if the UK votes to stay in the EU, they should finally introduce the € and start accepting syrian immigrants, why should only the continent get all those 'benefits'?

    The problem with the referendum isn't that it's going to lose - it's going to lose and be a license for massive EU integration. I think Britain would be better off with it's "we're in the EU and we don't like it, but whatever thats cool" attitude instead of "we're in the EU and 52% of our country will now let you do whatever you want to us and we'll just bite the pillow".

    I voted an hour ago, the queue at the polling station was full of pensioners and skinheads.

    I fear for my shitty little country.

    This seems to be the most likely outcome and is an interesting phenomenon, win something by an extremely close margin and then proclaim you can now realize 100% of your ideology. Happened after the Austrian presidential election which was seen by the leftists and the new chancellor as a signal for accepting even more waves of immigrants.

    looks like you got to change your opinion and reinterprete a small majority as the clear and irrefutable will of the people. :rolleyes:

    Leave is winning lads. I actually wish the UK would stay in by .001%, but actually it seems like Leave has a real chance now.

    Also wondering what flag will show up beside my post.

    The UK voting to leave the EU and the rise of Trump reminds me of the movie Network where they stuck their head out of windows and yelled:
    "I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore."

    i wished eu leaders would now follow the brexit advocates mindset and say "good bye dont let the door hit you". but i doubt that is going to happen and there will be the same bilateral contracts as before just not as eu but association contracts.

    and its good, because it would hit britain hard, but also bad because it will support the centrifugal forces in the union.

    but it only accelerates what seems inevitable anyway.

    well the majority does not profit from globalisation, in the opposite, and its easy to blame that on EU.
    thats the only thing about it not being disfunct, its use as scapegoat.
