I Do Not Follow Politics

I dont really follow politics but I am surprised and quite proud of my little country today.. we were given so many threats and scaremongering stories about what would happen if we left the EU... that many people were literally voting stay just because they were worried what would happen if we left.. that's not a choice..
I thought for sure we'd stay in.. i am proud that people had the guts to take a leap and vote leave.. seems we aren't such a bunch of wusses as i thought :P

@squishy.. suicide???? lol you so dont know us Brits :P and you are being somewhat melodramatic.... not to mention lacking in facts but hey thanks for worrying about us.. dont forget we have only been in the EU for 40 years.. whatever did we do before that?? were we a poor country? nope... and we had the commonwealth.. this frees us to trade with more countries.. as we did before.. we were a bit part of the EU.. i think you will find they needed us more than we needed them.. to think otherwise is to seriously misunderstand the true picture.. Like i say.. we were a great and very powerful country in our own right before EU... we just want some of that back. to be able to govern ourselves again.
Oh and a real teller is... I heard from a greek friend.. who says his country hates the EU...and is envious we got out.. I think the problem with people who arent here is that they can over estimate the EU influence and especially how much we Brits give a damn about the EU>.. as is say WE were one of the most influential... we take away everything we had before.. suicide? COme back to me in 10 years time and I will watch you eat your words :P
