It is an open thread and It is interesting to have point of view, precision, etc. from anyone.

Your comment brought me a new light and I learned this :

Cameron had effectively disenfranchised many students before the vote happened by changing the rules for voter registration because this would favour his party in a general election. Since younger people have been consistently in favour of Remain, this was one significant factor that tipped the balance. There were many others.


It is significant, yes. Younger are more often pro Europe. Almost everywhere in Europe.

As far as I can remember, I never cried for an election result. Until Brexit.

The first words I had in mind were : "unsustainable stupidity".

But when these dingbats started one after the other to resign, I I badly wished I could throw them straight to the head my screen.

So they messed up on all the line then...Oh sorry, was wrong, I resign...besides the imbecile Farrage who claimed he has done his "job" so he leave now...

They could just add : Oh ! And to clean up the mess we have done, cleaning necessary is in the closet...
