Oh please. I really wonder what is being broadcasted in the News over there. The Uk held a 'referendum' that indulged ignorance and irresponsibility, while abandoning the considered judgment of representative democracy.
The Leave campaign and brexit was also orchestrated by Arron banks (financing Farage, but not only), by the Rupert Murdoch tabloid media and rich brexiters who expected financial advantages and the softening of workers rights by leaving the EU,
for their personal advantage (Rees-Mogg anyone? Lmao!)
Not to forget Cambridge analytica, your electoral laws were obviously powerless against "social" media manipulation - which is of course no unique "feature" of the UK.
The referendum campaign was anything but explicit and should have at least had a 2/3d majority. The outcome was not legally binding. But the MPs looked at the result with horror, and those who were responsible ran away. End of story, and the beginning of the brexiters bashing the EU and George Soros (you know "this jew responsible for islamisation", as Farage says) as usual. Disgusting. I would never have thought that this was possible today, least in the UK.
I do not expect much anymore, but the EU would be dumb to let the UK in again after this stunt. I have no pity for the brexiters for what lies ahead when the UK leaves without a deal, but i feel sorry for the other half (or more) of the UK population.
