We have a few Britons (and a Scot!) here in UCI; I'm curious of their thoughts on this.
For those of us non-Britons, this is a great time to make Declaration of Independence jokes.

I'm happy with the result, especially after my kinsman opted to stay as part of the UK a few years ago which I still can't really accept.
I voted to leave, and it won so yeah. I'm happy. Just wish we would have voted for our own independence.
Waking up this morning was no different though, it still just feels like any other day.
It was heavily suggested that we'd have to switch our currency to the Euro if we wanted to stay, maybe not immediately but down the road a-ways at least.
Fuck that, Euros are like monopoly money.

I'm completely pissed off.
Scare tactics and lies won over a very dim witted and gullible public. Frankly, I don't want to be here any more.

Nope, but BoJo is just as bad. I've never been more annoyed with democracy than I am now. All people had to do was a little research but instead they chose to ignore the huge amounts of experts and world leaders who said it was a bad idea and go along with an insane racist, Boris Johnson and Michael Gove, who lied about his parents just to put an invalid point across.
That and Trump thinks it's good, so it's automatically a bad idea.
The whole thing has made me lose any remaining faith in the British people. They've subjected our next few generations to complete and utter shit because they couldn't be arsed to learn the actual facts, figuring "We get rid of the Polish, so it's all good."
It won't be. We're fucked. Especially now the UK will get broken up after the next Scottish referendum. We're Little Englanders now. It's shit.

Can you explain what it is as subjectively as possible.

What the Brexit is?
We had a vote yesterday to determine whether the UK should stay a part of the European Union or leave it and go alone. They voted go alone.
It's akin to somewhere like Hawaii saying they want to leave USA basically.

We had something like that once, but it kind of led to an extremely bloody conflict that cost us almost a generation worth of lives. Man, Europe does everything more peaceful than us, doesn't it? |

Roll on the next Scottish referendum. I'm sorry but LOL. Scotland suffered the same shower of scare tactics and propaganda at the last referendum and we caved to the hype and denied our independence. Think it's hilarious that you guys are now having to taste that shit, don't get me wrong it effects us too but the majority of Scotland didn't want to be a part of the EU anyway. Considering the population of London is close enough to the population of Scotland, our opinions very rarely matter on the grand scale. It's nice to actually get what the majority of us wanted for a change. Bring on the next referendum so we can all just go back to building walls and shooting arrows at eachother.  <3 Bojo for a change. The economy is fucked anyway, might as well go back into the dark ages and be done with it. |

Why build walls and shoot arrows at each other, when we can get drunk and hug it out instead? Personally, I think the world needs less separation, and more unity. But I know little of politics and economics and the like; I'm just an idealistic hippie who wishes everyone could get along. Or at the very least, settle their differences personally with nine rounds of bare-knuckle boxing; there'd be far fewer wars if the politicians had to fight them. Or far more, if everyone were going around picking fights all the time. Hey, it's an imperfect system, but I'm not hearing any suggestions.

I think it was vault 11 in Fallout New Vegas that had the best system for me.
Where they elected an overseer every couple of years, who would accept blame for all the fuck-ups during his reign and submit to being executed at the end of his term.
I think Earth should do that, just throw all the countries names in the world in a hat, draw one every four years and they become the "capital of earth"
When their times up, we just sink them like Atlantis.

We had an assassination this time as well. Guy made his own fucking gun and shit an MP in the face. That's dedication. |

The closer everyone is the less chance that we get fucked in the ass when the aliens come. |

United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland = England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland
Great Britain = England, Scotland, Wales
England = England
Scotland = Scotland
Wales = principality of England.
