History tells us that all empires eventually collapse. The UK is wise to vote itself out the monstrosity that is the EU before the whole thing self-implodes.

None of the leave voters I know regret their decision. That 3 million petition thing is meaningless and pointless. A total waste of time.

Liberal lefties love democracy until the majority makes a decision they don't like. Then they cry like babies.

75% of under 25s voted to remain? Their future has been decided by old people? That much quoted statistic is very misleading. There was a 38% turnout in that age group. So 28.5% voted to remain. 71.5% either abstained by not voting or voted to leave.

American forum members; imagine if we were talking about the AU, American Union. Unelected bureaucrats the capital Lima are imposing unpopular laws on your country that over-rule laws set by your own elected representatives and judiciary. You've had to open your borders to all other member American countries and allow unlimited numbers of their citizens entry. For the privilege you pay a membership fee (after rebates) of $200 million per week. In return you get free-trade across borders and the opportunity to join a shared currency with Mexico, Brazil, Canada, Colombia etc. Are you voting in or out?
